Trish

I'm Trish, an Australian teacher at Omeida English College. I have a degree in Communications from the University of Canberra, and after finishing my studies I began travelling the world, which had always been a dream of mine. I have had many exciting and interesting jobs along the way, including being a croupier in a casino, worked on yachts, and I have also been a tour leader for a travel company. Travel is obviously a big passion of mine, but I also enjoy reading (especially literature and history), movies, gardening, and of course exploring the beautiful scenery of Yangshuo.

I finally found my way to China and fell in love with the country immediately. I settled in Kunming for two and a half years, and began my teaching career there. I moved to Yangshuo in July 2010 to join Omeida. Teaching is definitely one of the most enjoyable and rewarding jobs I have had, and working at Omeida especially has been great fun. I really appreciate the help and support from all the staff, and the great working atmosphere of the school. I also have great respect for my students who are working so hard to achieve their goal of learning English. Learning English can be a very tough job, but I find the dedication and perseverance of my students to be very inspiring, and that in turn inspires me to find interesting and creative ways to present my classes.

I have also been struggling with language learning myself – I have been studying Chinese – and so I understand the difficulties students face when coming to grips with a new, and completely different, language. Omeida’s policy of “English Only” is a great way for students to improve their English quickly, and to build confidence in communicating. The foreign teachers at Omeida come from many different countries, which I think is a tremendous help for students in that they can be exposed to different accents and pronunciations, and so equips them with the ability to communicate with English speakers from all over the world. With dedication and persistence I am sure you can realise your dream of learning English.
