Leonard

—  Leonard老师的英语自述  —

Here is a little about me. I got my English name Leonard during my university years as an English major in 2003, focusing on English Linguistics and Literature. I was not in fact named after the slightly more famous leading role in The Big Bang Theory, which was initially broadcasted in 2007. It was in March 2008 that I started my teaching career in Guangzhou International Language Training Center, a.k.a. ILC, which has been actively involved in the intensive English full-time training field for approximately two and a half decades. For the past few years, I have been helping mostly adults and teenagers with both practical English skills and exam-oriented competence. I also used to work as an amateur reporter for Chinadaily and a freelance translator in a hospital. I am addicted to all kinds of sound, so listening to the radio turns out to be my favorite time killer.
