Pupils love hearing me narrate #tales in Latin!

@TheEconomist Both men have become tougher. China’s tech has made progress but the economy is suffering not only because of sanctions but from its own covid restrictions.

I teach #KS for both #Eton & #Westminster.
All Challenge candidates sit #English, #French & #Latin - I teach all three.

NB: All #CommonEntrance & 13+ English papers are part literature so pupils need a #lit tutor.

@SpoxCHN_MaoNing When President #Xi came to #HongKong you couldn't see him at all much less hear his voice.
Police on high alert with everyone viewed as a #terrorist.

[Taikoo Spring @SpringTaikoo]

@SpoxCHN_MaoNing I like all #flowers, from the tiny #osmanthus to the #magnolia. #TaikooShing #太古城 has both & more.

[Taikoo Spring @SpringTaikoo]

I'd love to try Chinese #coffee.

[Lin Jian 林剑 @SpoxCHN_LinJian]

“Yunnan coffee represents China and is well-loved abroad,” said President Xi during his visit to the province. Take a sip—you’ll see why.

[Taikoo Spring @SpringTaikoo]

#Thankyou, #SwireProperties, for the great #Chogokin #超合金 #exhibition but why no info on the site? https://t.co/7n31lkzaj4

This is a constructive criticism post, which will be deleted. I love #Swire!

@lukedepulford #Zuckerberg even asked Xi to name his daughter, remember?

#Immigration quota was cut & the process lengthened under #JustinTrudeau.
#Underprepared immigrants now feel stuck.

Before your departure from #HongKong, ask me about #linguistic & #cultural assistance.

I teach #English & #French, #Canada's 2 official languages.
