About Me

I am a multilingual tutor and cultural communicator with extensive international living experience across different countries. I speak Chinese, English, German, Japanese, and Korean, which allows me to connect with students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Having lived and worked in multiple countries, I have developed strong cross-cultural communication skills and a deep understanding of how people from different cultures learn languages differently. This helps me adapt my teaching style to each student’s background and learning needs.

In addition, I have lived in various regions of China, which has given me rich experience with both Northern and Southern Chinese culture, accents, and everyday expressions. This allows me to provide learners with a more complete and practical understanding of modern Mandarin used in real life.

I am passionate about language teaching and cultural exchange. My lessons are patient, structured, and interactive, focusing on helping students gain confidence in speaking and using Chinese in real-life situations.
