Summary

Attentive and patient, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Chinese and Bilingual Studies with a minor in European Studies.

As a bilingual teacher for the past 6 years, I am eager to utilize my expertise to foster the academic and personal development of cross-cultural children. Guiding students towards significant progress while instilling good manners is a fulfilling endeavor that I wholeheartedly embrace.
