    About Me

    Hi :)
    I come from Taipei, and lived+worked in Japan(Tokyo, Kyoto) before I reside in Europe and work in UK. Based on my anthropology background, I wrote a bilingual book series【Working Holiday Japan】of 4 books about my Japan experiences, which covers all the cultural events happening in whole year in Japan. That's all my starting point to learn Japanese from beginner to JLPT N1, the highest level for foreigner.

    So, I certainly know the difficulties of Japanese grammar, and I know how to conquer those learning obstacles! Thus, I’m enthusiastic about sharing this fascinating landscape with you through teaching Japanese and leaning from your perspective of Japan/Asian cultures!

    Since Chinese is my mother tongue and my academic training include sociology and literature, I would love to guide people enter this great treasure of our cultural heritage, not only to grab the language skills, but to understand the ongoing development of inter-asian studies (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan) as well.


    I look forward to hearing from you, Cheers!
