 ●Hi! I’m Mrs. Tang. I like to teach natural, relaxed American English and make it fun for you. So, I teach things like “Whaddaya wanna study?” That means, “What do you want to study?” That helps not only your speaking, but your listening skills!

I’ve lived in Taiwan for 16 years, so yes, I speak Chinese, if that can help you. I like my students to call me “Mrs. Tang.” Two reasons: that’s my name (because I’m married to Mr. Tang!), and students in America, where I’m from, never call their teacher “Teacher.” They would naturally say “Mrs. Tang.”

So, as a “Taiwan shee-fu” (daughter-in-law), I can be your bridge from Taiwanese culture to American culture! Our two kids grew up in Taiwan and are bilingual, now living in the US.

I have lots of experience! I’ve been teaching ESL for 20 years, and was the IELTS Administrator for Charlotte, North Carolina for two years. I’ve taught TOEFL, aviation English, business English, writing, pronunciation, and all levels of ESL, to students and business people in America, Taipei, Taichung, even cooking in English (home economics) to high schoolers at Pu Tai High School in Puli!
