I have six years' experience of teaching Academic English to Ph.D. students at Shandong University of Technology (SDUT) in Zibo, Shandong Province. This course will help any Chinese student who wants to study in the West and help them develop Western-style writing skills and critical thinking skills they need when studying at Western universities. Since moving to China I have taught IELTS to students from high school to Ph.D. level. I currently prepare SDUT students for study at the University of Limerick (UL) in Ireland.
