About
Hello everyone! I’m Ms. Lau.
I’m a certified teacher with a double degree in English Literature and Education. I have been working as an English tutor for a little more than seven years now.
Though my lessons have a friendly, casual feel, they are richly educational. I’m extremely detailed in my teaching, and I’ll push you to be the best English speaker that you can be.
Take a look at the information below and feel free to contact me with any questions!
