About
Hi, nice to meet you! My name is Sam, and I'm a teacher from England. I know that learning a foreign language can be a challenge, so I enjoy creating a relaxed and fun learning environment. I have experience teaching English as a foreign language since 2013 and have taught children and adults, both in person and online. I have patiently helped those who have no English level, and others who use business English professionally. I have a bachelor's degree in Language Education and a TESOL certificate. I have been learning Chinese since 2006, so I understand the challenges of learning a foreign language. However, I have also experienced the joys of being able to progress and communicate in a new language! I really hope to help you gain confidence and reach your goals. I enjoy playing the guitar, cycling, and travelling the world with my wife. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon!

I have enjoyed teaching children and adults of various language abilities. For example I have taught adults who want to improve their language skills for business or personal reasons, also other adults who are starting to learn basic English, and others who want to practice conversational English. I have also taught children from 3 to 15. Teaching a foreign language requires patience and commitment, but I find it to be very rewarding. I look forward to helping more language learners and improving my teaching skills.
