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!

Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levelsI have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.
I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.
I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!
