I’m Kim or 王家偉 (WONG Kai Wai); a British born Chinese living in Manchester, UK

Why teach English (as a foreign language)? It’s the opportunity to do something different with my experience and teach others wishing to improve their English skills, whatever their ability.

During my career I’ve worked in universities, start-up companies, as a consultant, non-Government and Government agencies, and with large companies. This gives me a broad range of experiences which I can apply to most situations

I’ve written two dissertaions, consiultancy style reports and have peer reviews journal publications
