Hello! My name is Gary. I am from the United States, and I have been teaching English in HK since 2009. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) from the University of Southern California, and have taught the following classes:
IB PYP, IB MYP, IB Diploma, IGCSE, AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature and Composition, TOEFL, IELTS, ISEE, UKISET, SAT, Trinity ISE, Cambridge English, Wonders Literacy, Creative Writing, and Academic Writing.

I set high expectations for my students, but I also show them HOW to meet those expectations. I want my students to look forward to our classes, so I make learning English fun.

I can do private courses, but I also enjoy teaching group classes. Classes can be taught in person or via Zoom according to your needs. Read less
