Hiya! Nice to meet you, I’m Margaret.
I have been teaching English as a foreign language and Chinese mandarin to individual learners and groups since 2014.
Throughout my tutoring career, I have formed an optimal way of structuring my students’ lessons in a way that they will be able to achieve their fullest potential in the duration of their time learning with me.
I believe that education should never be restricted to a single, one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it ought to be delivered in varied, flexible ways that recognise and embrace the differences in how students learn. Some learners may respond enthusiastically to written texts and methodical exercises, while others might flourish through practical demonstrations, audiovisual materials, or lively debates. By closely listening to my students, observing how they interact with the resources provided, and reflecting on their individual interests and strengths, I can help them craft a personalised learning plan that genuinely resonates with them. This process not only allows learners to feel seen, understood, and supported, but also empowers them to move forward with greater confidence, ultimately achieving the tangible results they set out to attain.

When it comes to homework or self-guided study, I firmly believe that learning should be woven seamlessly into everyday life—particularly when studying a language. Instead of relying solely on repetitive exercises or isolated tasks, I encourage students to integrate their learning into their daily routines. This might entail reading an engaging article over breakfast, listening to a podcast in the target language during a morning commute, or chatting informally with native speakers online. By blending language practice naturally into their habits and hobbies, learners strengthen their skills in a more organic and enjoyable way, ensuring that their progress not only continues steadily, but also feels genuinely meaningful.
