Tommy Dong

Beijing, 亚运村中心

Join in 2010

After two years with EF, Tommy completed his TEFL certificate. He was determined to become a teacher, and therefore further earned his CELTA in 2018. He then rejoined EF as a local teacher in 2021, drawing on his background in service and his passion for teaching to become highly effective in his new role.

Tommy believes that a teacher’s role is not only to deliver lessons, but also to support and assist everyone involved in our students’ learning process. To this end, he recognizes the importance of actively communicating with progress managers about Pro and Pro VIP students’ learning goals and progress, and he goes above and beyond to attend to individual students’ needs.

Tommy’s eagerness to develop his own language and teaching skills, his initiative, his service mindset, and the support he has consistently provided to students, co-workers, and the center are what makes him a true star teacher.

在EF学习两年后，Tommy取得了TEFL证书。因为立志成为一名教师，他在2018年进一步获得了CELTA学位。随后，他于2021年重新加入英孚，成为一名英语老师，凭借他的服务背景和对教学的热情，他在岗位中扮演了很重要的角色。

Tommy认为，老师的角色不仅仅是授课，还应该支持和帮助每一个参与到学习过程中的学生。他认识到了积极与中心学习进度顾问沟通学生学习目标和进度的重要性，并积极关注学生的个人需求。

Tommy渴望发展自己的语言和教学技能，他的主动性，他的服务心态，以及他对学生、同事和中心的一贯支持，使他成为一名真正的明星教师。

Greg Horowitz

Shenzhen, 南山中心

Join in 2013

Greg is known for connecting expression and emotion to language use, best exemplified by his legendary Morning Reading sessions, which incorporate humor, props, wacky stories, and stunts. His advanced knowledge of Chinese language also gives him an edge when understanding and communicating with his students, all the while maintaining a genuine English-Only environment.

Meanwhile, Greg has arranged, supported, and actively taken part in center-level and large-scale EF events alike. Likewise, his commitment to the center means he is always available to support center sales and drive student satisfaction when assistance is needed.

In these ways and many more, Greg has consistently brought passion and enthusiasm to his role, his students, and his center. We are grateful for all he has done and are very pleased to name him a star teacher!

Greg以将表达情感与语言的使用结合进行教学而闻名，最好的例子是他组织的早读会里包括了幽默、道具、古怪的故事和惊喜表演。他的中文知识也让他在与学生理解和交流时占据优势，同时又能给学生带来一个真正的全英语环境。

与此同时，Greg也积极组织、支持并参与了所在中心和其他大型EF活动。同样，当中心其他部门需要帮助时，他总是能够支持中心的销售和学习顾问，并提高学生的满意度。

通过这些方式，Greg始终如一地为他的角色、他的学生和他的中心带来激情和热情。我们非常感谢他所做的一切，并非常高兴地授予他明星老师的称号!

Draw Xu

Beijing, 中关村中心

A long-time EF employee

Draw is a highly experienced and talented lead teacher who consistently brings professionalism and a strong work ethic to his role.

First and foremost, Draw’s teaching is known to be top-notch. He is able to teach almost any topic, and he can be always counted on to deliver high-quality lessons. This makes him widely respected among ZGC students, especially Beginners, who appreciate that he takes extra time to answer questions and support their learning needs.

Meanwhile, as a team member, Draw is helpful and flexible, and approaches changes with a positive attitude. Indeed, he has been willing to support whenever needed as the center navigated various challenges during the pandemic and beyond.

We thank Draw for his positive attitude and his commitment to excellence in teaching, and congratulate him on this Star Teacher award!

Draw是一位经验丰富、才华横溢的资深教师，他始终如一地将专业精神和强烈的职业道德带到他的角色中。

首先，众所周知，Draw的教学是一流的。他几乎可以教授任何话题，也总是可以提供高质量的课程。这使他在中关村校区的学生中受到了广泛的尊敬，尤其是初学者非常感谢他花额外的时间回答问题，满足他们的学习需求。

同时，Draw作为一个团队成员，乐于助人，灵活多变，以积极的态度对待变化。在疫情期间和任何时候，他都愿意提供必要的支持，帮助中心应对各种挑战。

我们感谢Draw积极的态度和他的卓越教学，并祝贺他获得明星教师奖!

David Gloria

Guangzhou, 高德置地中心

Join in 2019

Passionate about supporting students outside of class, he became EEC in 2020. In this role, he created a complete training package for Student Ambassadors and actively helped to develop them through regular training and observations. Likewise, to pursue his own professional development, he earned a CertTESOL in 2021.

After transferring to GTC in August of 2021, David quickly became a beloved member of the team. He led the first Student Ambassador recruitment and reorganization with the CM, which later led to the creation of a streamlined and enthusiastic Student Ambassador group.

Through these projects and others, David has played a proactive role in promoting cross-team collaboration and student engagement. The Star Teacher title is well-deserved given his dedication and contribution at EF!

David热衷于在课外支持学生，于2020年负责运营中心英语角的活动。在担任这一职务期间，他为EF学生大使制定了一整套培训计划，并通过定期培训和观察，积极帮助他们发展。同样，为了自己的职业发展，他在2021年获得了CertTESOL证书。

在2021年8月转入高德中心后，David很快就成为了团队中受人爱戴的一员。他与社区经理一起领导了第一次学生大使的招聘和重组，打造了一个精简而热情的学生大使小组。

通过这些项目，David在促进跨团队合作和学生参与方面发挥了积极的作用。他对英孚教育的奉献和贡献，获得明星教师称号是当之无愧的!

Melody Dong

Hangzhou, 武林中心

Joined in 2016

Melody has always been one of the most soft-spoken members of the Education team in Wulin Center, but she has some of the strongest relationships with her teammates.

As WLC’s Beginner Expert, Melody noticed that beginner students were not actively participating in center events because they were too challenging. Therefore, with the help of other local teachers and Progress Managers, Melody worked on a beginner needs survey, which led to the introduction of targeted activities for Beginners. As these become more and more well-attended, the center decided to convert them into Life Club offerings, thus increasing the center’s show-up and seats taken rates. These sessions were next launched regionally, and now with the help of local teachers and DoSes in the East, the Beginner basics product is delivered nationally.

It is inspiring to see how one person can so widely impact our students and business. We thank Melody for this and her many other contributions!

Melody一直是武林中心教育团队中说话最温柔的成员之一，但她与队友的关系却是最紧密的。

作为武林中心教育团队的初学者专家，Melody注意到，由于中心活动较有挑战性，初学者不太会积极参加。因此，Melody在其他老师和进度经理的帮助下，开展了初学者需求调查，并为初学者引入了有针对性的活动。由于参加人数越来越多，该中心决定将其转化为生活俱乐部的产品，从而大大提高了中心学生的出勤率。接着，这些课程被在区域内推广，现在在当地教师和教学主管的帮助下，基础入门课已经在全国范围内提供。

看到一个人可以如此广泛地影响我们的学生和企业，这令人鼓舞。我们感谢Melody和她的许多其他贡献!

Kai Li

Beijing, 国贸中心

Joined in 2011

During the pandemic, he had to re-evaluate his career path and decided to become an English teacher at EFEC, exploring a whole new way of helping Chinese learners.

He understands the importance of customer satisfaction very well and cares deeply about students’ learning experience. To this end, he has developed a series of culture-related offsite Life Clubs that were delivered across Beijing and thoroughly enjoyed. Additionally, he eagerly seeks opportunities for professional growth through regional and in-center training, and has demonstrated his dedication to the teaching profession by completing the CertTESOL course in June 2021.

Kai says: “I believe the world is like a book, and those who don’t travel can only read the first page of it. I used to put my passion into developing travel products which allowed people to see the world on the wings of EF, and now I’m on a parallel track where I dedicate myself to training more people to speak English, so they may have their own wings to explore the world.”

疫情期间，Kai不得不重新审视自己的职业道路，决定去EF当一名英语老师，探索一种全新的帮助中国学习者的方式。

他深知顾客满意的重要性，非常关心学生的学习体验。为此，他开发了一系列与文化相关的线下生活俱乐部，并在北京各地推广，深受喜爱。此外，他渴望通过区域和中心培训寻求专业成长的机会，并在2021年6月完成CertTESOL课程，表明了他对教学职业的奉献精神。

Kai说:“我相信世界就像一本书，不旅行的人只能读到它的第一页。我曾经把我的热情投入到开发旅游产品上，让人们在EF的翅膀上看世界，现在我在平行的轨道上，致力于培训更多的人说英语，让他们有自己的翅膀去探索世界。”

Dylan Li

Shenzhen, 南山中心

Joined in 2016

Dylan’s influence is felt throughout the center thanks to his support for beginners; his in-demand Beginner Basics sessions have become a pillar of NSD’s weekend offerings and environment. In these and all of his classes, his dynamic, creative, and well-grounded  approach to engaging students has elevated him as a role model within the teaching team.

In addition to his contributions in teaching, Dylan provides expectational support to new staff, quickly discerning their needs and offering personalized guidance. Furthermore, he goes above and beyond to make the center a welcoming place for all. One example of this is his much-loved English Environment video series known as ‘OME’ (One-Minute English), which showcases NSD’s engaging learning environment.

For all of these reasons, Dylan is a true shining star, and we are excited to congratulate him on being December’s STAR teacher!

由于Dylan对初学者的支持，整个中心都能感受到他的影响：他的基础入门课程已经成为南山中心周末课程和中心语言环境的支柱。在所有的课堂中，他充满活力、富有创造力和扎实的教学方法吸引了学生，使他成为教学团队中的榜样。

除了在教学方面的贡献，Dylan还为新员工提供支持，会迅速识别他们的需求并提供个性化指导。此外，他努力超越，帮助中心成为一个欢迎所有人的地方。其中一个例子是他深受喜爱的英语沙龙系列视频“一分钟英语”，展示了南山中心引人入胜的学习环境。

因为所有这些原因，Dylan是一个真正的闪耀的明星，我们很兴奋地祝贺他成为明星老师!
