PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing (BComm Marketing) - University of South Africa (UNISA)
My studies in marketing strengthened my communication, presentation, strategic thinking, and interpersonal skills. This academic background enables me to deliver well-structured lessons while understanding the importance of clear and effective communication in both personal and professional settings.
TEACHING QUALIFICATIONS
120-Hour TEFL Certification - TEFL Universal
This certification provided comprehensive training in English language teaching methodologies, lesson planning, classroom management, and effective strategies for teaching English as a second language.
120-Hour Advanced TEFL Certification - Teacher Record
Through this advanced qualification, I further developed my understanding of language instruction, learner engagement, and practical approaches to supporting students with varying learning needs and goals.
PRACTICAL TEACHING TRAINING
Practical Teaching Training Certifications - EF Education First
In addition to formal certifications, I have completed practical teaching training through EF Education First. These programmes equipped me with hands-on experience in online instruction, student engagement, lesson delivery, and adapting teaching approaches to support learners from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
I have over two years of experience teaching English online through EF Education First, working with children, teenagers, and adults across different proficiency levels. This experience has allowed me to develop a student-centred teaching approach that recognises that every learner is unique.
I believe that effective teaching is not about applying the same method to everyone. Some students thrive with structured grammar explanations, while others make greater progress through conversation and confidence-building practice. By understanding how each student learns best, I adapt my teaching style to create lessons that are practical, engaging, and meaningful.
MY TEACHING PHYLOSOPHY
I don't teach English as just another subject. I teach it as a tool for confidence, clarity, connection, and opportunity.
My goal is to make English feel simple, human, and usable. Rather than overwhelming learners with rules, I guide them toward natural communication through real-life speaking and writing practice. As students become more confident, accuracy often follows.
Whether you are building a foundation in English, preparing for new opportunities, or simply striving to communicate more confidently, I am committed to supporting your growth every step of the way.
Testimonials
AGNIESZKA, POLAND
I am extremely impressed. This is not just a regular language meeting, but an incredible experience. The tutor has a unique, incredibly calming voice that makes all the stress associated with speaking English disappear immediately. Her approach to teaching is unique – she explains concepts in a vivid and almost spiritual way, which makes the knowledge itself fall into place in your mind. You can immediately sense that she is someone with great erudition and literary talent, which translates into beautiful language and depth of expression. If you are looking for someone who will not only teach you vocabulary but also inspire you to love English, this is the best choice. I highly recommend!

I had the absolute best experience with Ai-Liang. She adapts to my level of knowledge, challenges and encourages me, and gives me a good feeling about steadily improving my English. Already after the 3rd lesson, I feel more confident with the language, and her enthusiasm for understanding English has now also rubbed off on me! Be careful, with her you will lose your fear and finally enjoy it! She gets 5 stars

MONIKA, POLAND
I am starting with Ai-Liang. I need to study and speak English every day for at least 25 minutes, and unfortunately, I don't have that kind of self-discipline on my own. Ai-Liang Emmarentia helps me a lot with this. She is nice, smiling, and very helpful.
