Hi,I'm from China with a Bachelor's degree in Japanese Literature and a specialization in Japanese Photographic Arts, and i'm doing my master degree in design in the University of Arts London right now.
My academic journey has been deeply rooted in the realm of arts. Throughout my university years, I was honored with multiple scholarships and actively engaged in various extracurricular pursuits, including Japanese language speech competitions. Notably, my graduation thesis was recognized as outstanding and published in Sapporo University's esteemed journal. During my tenure at a specialized art school in Japan, my dedication to excellence led to the exhibition of my graduation project at the renowned Canon Gallery in Tokyo.
My professional path has been marked by diversity and enrichment. From overseeing production management at Fortune 500 company RICOH to spearheading the adaptation of anime works into mobile games at ByteDance, I have consistently showcased versatility and creativity across varied industries. Whether orchestrating lighting setups in a photography studio or curating exhibitions at an art gallery, my adaptability and innovative spirit have remained steadfast.
In terms of language proficiency, I am fluent in Mandarin Chinese and proficient in Cantonese. I have attained the highest level of proficiency in Japanese, holding the esteemed N1 certification. I would describe myself as a passionate and patient language teacher who enjoys helping others discover the beauty of languages and cultures. I have the experience of teaching 6 grade students English and helping Japanese learning English on line.My lessons are aimed at learners of all levels, from beginners to advanced students, who are interested in learning Chinese or Japanese for personal, academic, or professional purposes.
