A Story [We] Tell


Creative, practical, intentional coaching to help you reach English and creative writing goals.

We all tell stories through our lives and work.
I want to help you tell yours.

Hey there! I'm Lois.

It's been my lifelong dream to be able to do two things:

1. Create an endless amount of creative stories, and

2. help people.

An internationally raised (mostly in Asia), native English speaker with American curriculum education. Quick on my feet with ideas and concepts, I've learned to build systems to help produce results. I've been writing creatively since I was ten, and working professionally since 2018. I've worked in content/copywriting, communications, now education and coaching. Since 2023 I've been English coaching online and have worked with 300 online students, in-person coaching started in 2024. I'm currently based in Hong Kong and I'm available to work online with people from around the world.

Please have a look at my full resume, certificates and unique work experiences here or my LinkedIn below:

"Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding."
- Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV)

Tell your story.

Creative, practical coaching for English-learners who want to strengthen overall confidence, and dive into critical thinking, creative writing and self-expression in English. I also offer Creative Writing Advisory for creative writers (including native-English speakers).

I want to bring out the best in you! You may know more than you think. What helps us to improve in language learning or in creative writing is often confidence, and practice. So what you might need is confidence, clarity, and someone to help you use what you already have.

I'm Lois, a native English speaker, creative writer, and TEFL-certified coach based in Hong Kong. I work with English learners and creatives from all over the world to help them communicate with more confidence, write with more intention, and tell their story in unique and creative ways.

"I really like the way you coach me because you always give practical advice that's easy [for me] to take action [on]. Also, with your rich experience in both full-time work and side projects, you always understand me when I talk about my career doubts. You can identify the root causes and offer valuable steps to solve them. In short, I feel very comfortable with your coaching style."
