Hello, my name is Ms. Chanel. I have lived in Hong Kong for 8 years’ but I am from the beautiful country, South Africa.

Staying active has always been an important part of my life. I look forward to the year ahead and seeing you all at the fun and exciting English activities throughout the year.

 

Hello, my name is Susie and I'm one of the part time English Language Teaching Assistants at Christian Alliance Toi Shan H. C. Chan Primary School.

I have lived in Hong Kong for four years after completing my Bachelors degree in Mandarin Chinese and Linguistics in the UK. It has taken a while to get used to the blazing hot summers, but I love the beautiful mountains and beaches here for hiking and camping! In my spare time I enjoy reading, keeping active through different sports, and drawing; I hope I can share my passions with my students this year.

However, I have lived right here in Hong Kong for 18 years! I have been teaching for 14 years because I absolutely love children and helping you learn new things. At home, I have two daughters and two very cute cats. When I am not at school, I love being outside in nature. Hiking on mountain trails and working in my garden are two of my favorite things to do. I also enjoy quiet time spent knitting and reading books.Most of all, I love socializing and talking with people. I cannot wait to get to know each and every one of you this year. Let’s have a wonderful time learning together!

In class, we’ll explore stories, build vocabulary, and practice communication through games, discussions, and fun learning. Outside school, music is my heartbeat—I play drums, guitar, and bass at my local church and love weaving rhythms into our lessons.
