I have always been interested in languages and cultures, and I really enjoy interacting with students from different backgrounds. In my teaching, I aim to make the class relaxed and engaging, while helping everyone improve their Chinese step by step.

In my free time, I have many hobbies. I enjoy sports and traveling, especially skiing and exploring new cities. I also love baking and often make cakes and desserts. In addition, I really like cats—so if you’re also an animal lover, we’ll have something in common 😊

I hope we can make progress together in the coming lessons, and please feel free to ask questions and practice as much as possible!
