Hi! I am Peter TAI

Peter is currently an English teacher in an aided primary school and has over five years of experience in teaching Languages and students with special learning needs.

​

He obtained a BA in Translation from Guangzhou University, an MA in Language Studies from Hong Kong Baptist University, a Primary school English Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE), and a Certificate in Catering for Diverse Learning Need from The Education University of Hong Kong.

 

Given that Hong Kong students have different language backgrounds and thereby indirectly creating various teaching difficulties, Peter enjoys exchanging different skills and knowledge in special education and language teaching with different educators. He believes that teaching languages in the current multilingual environment in Hong Kong can be both fun and challenging.
