Teacher Aileen 北中外師
Hello! My name is Aileen Sim, and I hail from the beautiful archipelago of the Philippines. I am 27 years old. I was a professor back in the Philippines where I had the pleasure of teaching a diverse array of subjects such as science, English, research, and politics to secondary and tertiary students.
For the past few years, I've also embraced the role of an ESL teacher, guiding kids and teens of various ages and levels to hone their English language skills. My journey brought me to Taiwan, where I've spent the last year and a half as a foreign English teacher at an elementary school in Yilan City.
Teaching in Taiwan has been a remarkable adventure, allowing me to immerse myself in new cultural experiences. I really find immense joy in helping young learners gain confidence in speaking English.
When I'm not in the classroom, you'll likely find me singing, exploring new travel destinations, or getting lost in the wonders of sci-fi movies. I'm thrilled to share my knowledge, enthusiasm, and expertise with you, and I look forward to an exciting journey of learning English together!
大家好！我的名字是艾琳·辛，來自美麗的菲律賓群島。今年我27歲。在菲律賓時，我曾是教授，教導高中和大學學生多門學科，包括科學、英語、研究與政治等。
在過去的幾年裡，我也擔任了ESL（英語為第二語言）老師的角色，幫助各年齡層的孩子和青少年提升他們的英語技能。我的旅程將我帶到了台灣，在過去一年半的時間裡，我在宜蘭市的一所小學擔任外籍英語教師。
在台灣教書是一段令人難忘的冒險，讓我有機會深入體驗新的文化。我非常喜歡幫助年輕的學習者增強他們的英語口語自信心。
當我不在教室裡時，你很可能會發現我在唱歌、探索新的旅行目的地，或是沉浸在科幻電影的奇妙世界中。我非常高興能與大家分享我的知識、熱情和專業，期待與大家一起展開令人興奮的英語學習之旅！
