Luna Tan EAL, English Language Teaching
No reviews yet

With a First Class Honors degree in TESOL from the University of Nottingham Malaysia and over four years of teaching experience in diverse educational settings (international schools, tuition center, private tutoring), I focus on creating dynamic, engaging and safe environments where students feel empowered to express themselves and grow using a new language.

My teaching approach centers on nurturing curiosity, building confidence, and fostering a growth mindset. I believe in nurturing the potential of my students, one lesson at a time. Whether it’s through interactive lessons or personalized support, I aim to make every learning experience both impactful and enjoyable.

For learning material, depending on students' needs, I use a mix of textbooks and I curate my own materials to cater to your children's needs.

I have worked with students of various nationalities in the past. My students at the moment mostly comprise of Korean students, followed by local and mainland Chinese students. I can speak English, Mandarin Chinese and Bahasa Melayu fluently.
