I am a PhD graduated from Warwick University, speicialising in English and Comparative Literary Studies. My research topic focuses on Oscar Wilde and the British Aestheteicism's reception in East Asia. This experince faciliated me with a great understanding of the English culture and culture, which will help me to build a better understanding for teaching you, my English friends, with my unique vision of comparative insight into the Chinese languge and culture.

As an experienced Chinese language instructor, I offer a curriculum that is tailored to each student's specific needs. From basic pronunciation and grammar to the exploration of Chinese culture, history, and idioms, my lessons are designed to build a solid foundation in the language and equip students with the skills necessary to achieve fluency.

As a means of understanding Chinese culture, customs, and traditions, I offer advanced-level students specialised lessons centred on Chinese dramas where you can feel the pulse of the Chinese society and Chinese mentality. By analysing the nuances of Chinese dramas, students gain a deeper understanding of the culture and the historical context of the language's development. This method not only improves students' language skills, but also provides them with a unique understanding of Chinese culture, enabling them to navigate interactions with Chinese counterparts on a professional or personal level with greater ease.

In addition to teaching language skills, I offer students who wish to build relationships and collaborate with Chinese partners practical advice. My lessons examine the complexities of the Chinese mentality and provide insights on how to establish rapport and trust with Chinese counterparts. These skills are essential for establishing productive partnerships and collaborations with Chinese businesses and individuals.

My lessons are designed to be engaging, interactive, and individualised to meet the needs of each individual student. Whether you are a beginner looking to build a foundation in the language or an advanced student seeking a deeper understanding of Chinese society and culture, my lessons will help you achieve your goals and become proficient in Chinese.
