Arah Kane

Everyone has a story, I aspire to inspire students of all ages to tell theirs.

Hello everyone, my name is Arah. I'm a Contemporary English Studies graduate from Lingnan University. I have taught English to kindergarten and primary school students as a NET and TA. I value education as I believe in life-long learning. I enjoy literature as it has opened up new insights and perspectives for me. We live in a vast world full of ideas and emotions and reading is a great way to live out those shared experiences.

Through dedication and hard work, all students can thrive in a supportive and loving environment. I'm a mental health advocate as I think balance is the most fulfilling way to live. Reading is one of my hobbies, particularly my favourite authors are Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and Emily Dickinson. While I love classical literature and poetry, I also love to write within the fantasy and non-fiction genres. My internship with Bookazine has allowed me to learn vital skills in the writing and publishing industry.
