▸ Who I Work With? My lessons are not for beginners looking to learn "ni hao" and "xie xie." They are for: - Entrepreneurs and business owners who want to understand Chinese business culture, negotiation dynamics, and market rules - Academics and intellectuals — including the university professors I've taught, and anyone hungry for deep intellectual dialogue - Creative professionals who want to understand Chinese aesthetics, internet culture, and consumer sensibilities - Deep thinkers who want to explore philosophy, social psychology, and the differences between Eastern and Western civilizations If you need a tutor to walk you through textbook exercises, I'm probably not your person. If you need someone who has actually sat at the negotiation table, built real things, and can engage with your ideas seriously — book a lesson with me. ────────────────── ▸ Teaching Experience: I have two years of offline Chinese teaching experience. My students have included Korean automotive designers, American software engineers, European entrepreneurs, and university professors. I adapt well to students from diverse cultural backgrounds and tailor lesson plans to your specific goals. ────────────────── ▸ What You Can Expect: Every lesson is built around your specific goals: - Business & Negotiation Chinese — learn to read between the lines in Chinese business communication, structure a persuasive pitch, and handle high-stakes conversations - Project-Based Learning — bring your real project, whether it's a business plan, a brand deck, or a speech, and we'll work on it directly in Chinese - Deep Intellectual Dialogue — explore topics like "the future relationship between humanity and AI," "the driving forces behind China's peaceful rise," or "the collision of Eastern and Western ways of thinking" — all while sharpening your advanced Chinese expression - HSK Exam Preparation (Optional) — If you're working toward an HSK certification, I can integrate exam-focused vocabulary and grammar into our business Chinese lessons, ensuring your exam preparation never feels like rote memorization. I don't do scripted role-plays. I do real conversations about things that truly matter to you. ────────────────── ▸ Teaching Style As a self-taught psychology enthusiast, I bring deep listening and empathy into my classroom. My teaching style is safe and fully accepting: I refrain from quick judgment, and I use questions to guide you in clarifying your thoughts and reaching the heart of a topic. What you'll gain is not just fluency, but a deeply understanding, warm conversational experience. ────────────────── Maybe you're still hesitating about whether to learn Chinese. Or perhaps there's a question you just can't shake — In the age of AI, when instant translation is everywhere, why invest so much energy in learning a new language? Here's my answer: a language is the crystallized wisdom of a civilization. It is a vital bridge to touch the thoughts and soul of another people. When you're no longer satisfied with a surface-level understanding of Chinese, and instead choose to personally feel and experience the collision and nourishment of different ways of thinking — language learning stops being a tedious task. It becomes a journey of breaking out of fixed perceptions and realizing deeper self-awareness. In this exploration, you'll come to understand the cultural meanings and thought patterns behind the language. And in the process of understanding Chinese, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your own culture. Just as AI can never replace a psychologist, capturing your non-verbal, subconscious self-expression — it can also never replace your own firsthand experience, to reap this enormous, long-term value that transcends language itself. So, what are you waiting for? Book your first lesson now. I truly look forward to meeting you in class. Let's work together toward your goals.

Hi, I’m Libby, a native British English tutor, Business Communication Facilitator, and Language Specialist with a passion for helping professionals communicate more confidently, naturally, and effectively in English. I currently work with professionals from around the world across industries, including tech, medicine, finance, law, logistics, customer service, and big data. Whether you are preparing for presentations, interviews, meetings, or simply want to better understand fast-paced native conversations, I provide personalised coaching tailored to your goals and communication style. Before moving fully into language coaching, I worked with major international brands including RBS, Santander, Audi, and other multinational companies in roles involving sales, corporate customer relations, and business-to-business debt recovery. These experiences gave me a strong understanding of how language influences trust, negotiation, and professional success. I was also part of RBS’s internal facilitation team, where I helped troubleshoot and ease difficult workplace situations. This taught me how to use language to open dialogue, build confidence, and communicate effectively even in challenging conversations, skills I now bring into every lesson. My teaching focuses on practical, real-world English. I help students improve business communication, conversational fluency, accent reduction, interview preparation, presentation skills, and natural phrasing so they can sound more confident and authentic when speaking with native English speakers. Alongside teaching, I also work in digital communication and content strategy, creating SEO content, blog articles, marketing copy, and online engagement strategies for businesses and global audiences. I additionally work with international digital assessment companies, analysing online content for accuracy, compliance, and quality. This keeps me highly aware of modern communication trends, digital language, and how English is used naturally in professional environments today. With a background in global finance, multinational logistics, entrepreneurship, and communication coaching, I bring a practical, adaptable, and supportive approach to teaching. I am known for being approachable, tech-savvy, encouraging, and able to adapt lessons to each student’s needs and personality quickly. I tailor my lessons to each student and their needs. I use videos, podcasts, newspaper articles and more, to discover new vocabulary and bring it to life through discussion and debate. Doing it this way, I help my students understand the natural speech patterns and phrases of native speakers and incorporate them into their own daily speech. My lessons are friendly, relaxed, and designed to help you make genuine progress while enjoying the learning process. I understand the challenges of learning and the importance of patience, encouragement, and lessons that feel engaging rather than overwhelming. I look forward to helping you unlock your potential by building your confidence, fluency, and success in English. Get in touch and let's discuss how to move you forward in the best way for you.
