Teacher expertise and credentials
I specialize in ESL, Math, Python and Java for beginners to intermediate learners offering a range of classes that cater to different levels of learners. Whether you are a beginner looking to get started or an advanced student aiming to deepen your understanding, my classes are designed to be engaging, interactive, and informative. I strive to make complex concepts accessible and enjoyable, ensuring that every student walks away with a solid grasp of the material.

With a professional background in education, I bring a wealth of real-world experience to the classroom. My career has spanned over 15 years, during which I have taught diverse learners in North America and south east Asia. This extensive experience has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide valuable insights and practical applications to the theoretical concepts we cover in class.


At the core of my teaching philosophy is the belief that education should be student-centric and inclusive. I am committed to creating a supportive and dynamic learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential. My approach emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, encouraging students to actively participate and engage with the material. I believe that learning is a lifelong journey and aim to instill a passion for discovery and self-improvement in my students.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, zendoodle and cooking. Whether it's art, exploring new places, or simply spending time with family and friends, I believe that maintaining a balanced life is essential. I often bring my personal experiences and interests into the classroom, making learning more relatable and fun. 

I believe coding can be used as another medium to express and create. Therefore I look forward to coding with my learners each day.
