Assistant Teacher

Summary

  • A teacher with 5 years of experience teaching children aged 5-18. For me, being a teacher means two things: first, being patient, and second, being open-minded, never thinking that things have to be this way or that way.
  • A master's student majoring in linguistics, passionate in language learning. A lover for Chinese and English recitation and writing.
  • An outdoor enthusiast, fond of hiking, cycling, running, etc. In 2016, I finished a full marathon race in 5h 45m, and this experience motivated me to overcome many challenges in later life.
