Why Ellen

Cambridge Certified Teacher

CELTA and DELTA from Cambridge Assessment English, globally recognised as the highest qualifications in English language teaching.

Cambridge Teaching System

Uses Cambridge official materials (Unlock series, Cambridge IELTS past papers) and Cambridge methodology, ensuring content aligns closely with exam standards.

British English Expertise

BSc in Business Studies from Lancaster University, UK — trained in the British English system with authentic pronunciation and rigorous grammar.

Cambridge Teaching Methodology

Model first, produce second — every lesson starts by analysing excellent examples, helping students understand what 'good' looks like, then guiding them to build their own version using the language and interests they already have. This is a core principle of the Cambridge CELTA/DELTA teaching system.

Learner-Centred Approach

1-to-1 lessons start with the person, not the plan. Understanding the student's interests, feelings, and needs — letting their interests shape the content and the language they already have become the tool.

University teaching experience

Four years full-time Oral English, Business English, and intercultural communication with 18–27-year-olds at Guangzhou Institute of Science and Technology

Pre-university experience

EIC Education — academic English for 16–24-year-olds (Australia pathway): writing, presentations, and full assessment cycle

Speaking specialism

Long-term IELTS Speaking private tuition; large-group and 1-to-1 Oral English at GIST

Teaching approach

Mature, goal-oriented, and exam/academic focused — not young-learner gamified classes

先示范，后产出 — 带领学生分析范文，理解'好'的标准
Model first, produce second
以学习者为中心 — 1对1课程从学生本人开始，而非从教案开始
