About Cai

I am an experienced educator and program manager with over 14 years of experience in teaching, training, and curriculum development. I hold a master’s degree in International and Comparative Education from Columbia University and have worked with diverse learners across different cultural and professional contexts.

My background includes working with nonprofit and government organizations, where I designed and delivered inclusive, learner-centered programs. I specialize in creating supportive environments that build confidence and help students achieve their language goals.

I am patient, adaptable, and committed to each student’s progress, ensuring that every lesson is engaging, structured, and tailored to individual needs.

My teaching approach is student-centered, interactive, and tailored to each learner’s goals, whether you are building everyday communication skills, preparing for exams, or advancing professionally. I draw on over 14 years of experience in education and training, as well as a background in inclusive and culturally responsive teaching, to create a supportive and engaging learning environment.

I use a communicative approach to language learning, which means lessons focus on real-life use of English through speaking, listening, reading, and writing. I incorporate practical activities such as conversations, role plays, and problem-solving tasks to help you build confidence and fluency. I also integrate grammar and vocabulary in context so you can apply what you learn immediately.

A typical lesson begins with a short review and warm-up activity, followed by targeted practice based on your goals (for example: conversation skills, pronunciation, grammar, or writing). We then move into interactive exercises, and end with feedback, reflection, and a clear plan for next steps. I provide constructive, encouraging feedback throughout to help you improve steadily.

What sets me apart is my ability to adapt lessons to diverse learners, including beginners, intermediate, and advanced students, as well as professionals and adult learners. My experience in international education and human rights work allows me to connect with students from different backgrounds and create lessons that are relevant, respectful, and empowering.

My lessons are ideal for:

Adults and young learners at all levels (beginner to advanced)
Students preparing for academic or professional opportunities
English learners seeking to improve conversation, writing, or workplace communication.

Individuals looking for a supportive, inclusive, and personalized learning experience

I aim to make every lesson practical, engaging, and aligned with your personal goals so you can use English confidently in real-life situations.
