关于我

这是关于我的一部分介绍。

Hi, I'm Vivien

I’m a native English teacher and Neurolanguage coach® based in Valencia, Spain.

If you asked my friends and family about me, they’d say I’m always learning.

It’s true. I love to learn! I’m fascinated by neuroscience, emotional intelligence and brain-based learning and how it can help my students to fulfil their potential in class.

I’m especially passionate about helping women overcome their fears of speaking English, feel empowered and achieve their goals.

It’s important to me because I understand what it’s like to struggle with language learning. I speak 6 languages!

1. English

I grew up and went to school in the UK and 英语 is my native language. I gained my prestigious CELTA teaching certificate in Manchester.

2. Spanish

I started Spanish classes at school when I was 13 and continued my studies at Coventry University (Bachelors in French and Spanish). I spent six months of my Erasmus year in Valencia and I fell in love with the city! I’ve lived here (on and off) for 5 years.

3. Cantonese

I was born in Hong Kong and I’ve always spoken Cantonese at home.

4. French

I started learning French when I was six years old with a private tutor, studied French at university and lived in Grenoble for six months as an Erasmus student.

5. Mandarin

I learned Mandarin when I lived in China for 2 years.

6. Portuguese

My partner is Portuguese so I’m learning so I can speak to his family.

I have made so many mistakes over the years!

I have been the worst speaker in the room. I’ve been in Mandarin classes where I was completely out of my depth and, for a good month, I couldn’t understand a word the teacher said!

BUT

I didn’t stay the worst.

I learned to brush off the embarrassment and keep going.

I took control of my language learning. I studied and I practiced. I got a study buddy, I practiced speaking and I watched Chinese TV.

I soon started to see progress and I was moved up to the Advanced class. I had deeper conversations with people. It helped me make friends and it gave me a lot more flexibility and opportunities.

Improving my mindset and language skills improved my life.

Now I want to help you to do the same.

When I’m not teaching or learning, I enjoy Crossfit, salsa dancing (when we’re allowed), and picnics in the Túria river. I also enjoy watching thrillers like “How to Get Away with Murder” and “The Sinner” or really girly series like “Girl Boss” and “Emily in Paris”.

学生评价

Es una gran profesora, 100% recomendable. Ha tenido muchas ideas para adaptarse a mis necesidades en cada clase, es dinámica, tiene un excelente dominio de la enseñanza (no es solo una nativa hablando inglés, sino que domina la lengua y la gramática), es flexible, transmite muy buena energía durante la clase y pone mucho empeño. Para mi es una de las mejores profesoras de inglés que he tenido.

Vivien es una profesora muy buena. Se prepara mucho las clases y se las reparte de tal forma que nos dé tiempo a trabajar todo que corresponde. Es muy seria con las clases y siempre está pendiente de sus alumnos bien recordándote el horario de tus clases o incluso, viendo de qué manera aprende mejor el alumno para adaptarse a él. Yo estoy encantada con ella. Es muy clara conmigo y con todo lo que debo hacer para lograr mi objetivo. Recomendable al 100%.

非常非常喜欢Vivien老师，亲和力十足，她的教学方式很科学，能用简单愉快的方式让我很快进入状态，不知不觉就学习了很多东西。她总是能让学习的过程不像对着书本那么刻板，也不会再让我觉得开口用英语去表达有很多的顾虑，她帮助我纠正了很多语法，发音方面的问题，现在我的英语流利多了，能和外国朋友愉快的交流。我一直希望能用英语走遍世界，交到更多的朋友。 I like Teacher Vivien very much. She is very amiable. Her teaching method is very scientific, and I can get into the state quickly in a simple and pleasant way. She always makes the learning process less rigid than in front of a book, and she no longer makes me worry about expressing myself in English. She helps me correct a lot of problems in grammar and pronunciation. Now, my English is much more fluent, and I can communicate happily with foreign friends. I always hope that I can travel around the world and make more friends with English.
