Hi, my name is Vallerie. I’m a part of the Telephone English team; I sing and speak with the children. The children I talk to vary in ages from babies to early teens. I like to have them talk about their lives and personal interests, so they don’t see English as a scary subject, but rather a tool to express themselves. Generally, the children have so much to talk about and it’s exciting to see their development. I hope to get involved in more projects as working with kids is such a wonderful experience.

I was born in Hong Kong and raised in the UK. With that context in mind, I grew up in a culturally eclectic home; ethnically Filipino, Japanese and Spanish-home life was never boring! I work as a freelance PR consultant, which takes me everywhere in Hong Kong!

If time and money permit, I like to travel. I’m a big heritage fan. I like to do a lot of research before traveling so that I can appreciate my experience more. It’s amazing seeing how cultures from different countries or continents relate or have the same perspective despite being geographically unrelated.During my downtime, I like to watch TV series, hang out with my cats and best friend and exercise! I also enjoy reading and painting.

Don’t be afraid to try new activities, you can learn how to express yourself and more things!

大家好，我是Vallerie。我是其中一位電話美語姐姐，最喜歡與小朋友唱歌和談天。我會和由零歲至十多歲的孩子唱歌或聊天，和他們聊天時，我喜歡鼓勵他們多談談自己的生活和喜好，好讓他們不會害怕英語，反而視為一種表達自己的工具。孩子普遍地也會有說不盡的話題，看見他們的成長和進步也令我感到很振奮。我希望能參與更多不同活動，與孩子有更多接觸，因為能讓我曠闊我的體驗。

我在香港出生但在英國長大。我在一個多元文化的環境下長大 – 一個結合了菲律賓、日本和西班牙文化的家庭生活是很精彩有趣的。我是自由身的公關顧問，這類型的工作性質能讓我遊歷香港不同的地方。

如果我有空餘時間和有足夠金錢，我喜歡四處旅遊。我對不同地方的文化遺產都很感興趣，我喜歡在旅行前搜集大量相關資料，那身處當地時便能更深入體會當地的文化。儘管有些國家的地理位置不相連，但您會很驚訝原來那些地方的文化也可以有密切的關連或相近的文化觀點。在空餘時間，我喜歡看電視、和我的小貓玩、與我的好朋友相聚及做運動。此外我還喜歡閱讀和畫畫。

小朋友，不用害怕嘗試接受新的活動因為您們會透過這些活動學習到怎樣表達自己。
