John FettesIn his retirement from being an Engineering Consultant, he teaches young students to speak sensible coherent English, and where required, teach them to speak English poetry and prose recitations. His qualifications for this role are that he is exceptionally well-read [for an engineer!], and has taken part in drama, that is as an actor in plays. Also, his life has been about the use of the English language to describe things and ideas – technical, legal, and in fiction. He has been coaching Chinese students in Hong Kong since 2002. A particular advantage that he possesses is that he speaks with what is called ‘standard received pronunciation’; essentially, like a BBC announcer. Another advantage is that he enjoys greatly the company of young people, especially Chinese children, brimming with intelligence and mostly avid for learning experiences. |
