🎵「Modern Worship Lyrics Courses」🎶
Having international touring experiences as an Alto respectively in Taipei Chamber Singers and Taipei Philharmonic Choir, I enjoy singing to English Christian worship groups such as Hillsong United and Bethel Worship. It is a perfect way to learn English for those who’s interested in worships and English learning combined.
👨🏻💼「English Interview Courses」👩🏻💼
I had been accepted as a cabin crew, later on as a Second Officer with the international airline both on the first attempt. On top of that, I have plenty of experiences attending English interviews for international events. I am definitely the one professional teacher to share tips with you on winning an interview!
💼「Business English Courses」📈
Having worked as a cabin crew for the past 6 years and participated numerous international events where business English is omnipresently involved, I am highly confident that you will have great takeaway from me in this class!
【 👩🏻✈️ About Lizzy 】
I am a versatile and passionate person who likes to share my life adventurous stories.
In my opinion, learning English is definitely not just learning a language. Learning a new language not only broadens one's horizon widely, but also further transforms the way he/she looks at life. After this 10-year journey of constant traveling (flying and sailing included!) and working with colleagues from more than 130 nationalities, I have grown more passionate about sharing my unique experiences living a lifestyle in languages that are whole lot different than my mother tongue, Mandarin Chinese.
🌿 "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods." - George Gordon Byron
I had visions of white bright eyes watching me whenever I was in the forests, and I ended up studying forestry🌲 ; I had been having an emotional and spiritual connection with the oceans🌊, and I ended up sailing with Greenpeace for two good years⛵️; I had visions of being an eagle all the time since childhood, and now I'm flying as a full-time cabin crew + part-time pilot🛫.
I love chaotic places - as they tell wonderful stories of life, and they are lives.
People say I'm always brave to go for what I love and dream of. However in my opinion, being brave is to do something that one doesn't love about out of the benefit of others. When it comes to justice, I don't compromise, especially of human rights. Moreover, I have some kind of OCD of self-reflecting all the time.
The universe and life have led me to different places. And I believe it's "Maktub ✨(written/destined)".
