I am committed to sharing outstanding teaching and learning practices on a national scale. I successfully established Mandarin as a new subject and have furthermore introduced it at seven local primary and secondary schools.
I possess over ten years of experience in teaching and private tutoring. I take a lot of pride in my work and the progress of each individual that I teach through the planning of fun, engaging and imaginative lessons. More recently, I developed my experience in teaching students remotely and am passionate about doing this on a greater scale in future.
My hard-working, creative and enthusiastic nature inspires me to continuously acquire new knowledge and skills that I utilize to further develop myself professionally and take on more responsibility.

I love teaching Mandarin. I used to teach Chinese at Chinese school in Glasgow and I have been home teaching my husband for years (proper class with PPT). Now I am teaching some university students online. I know the common problems my students have, I've also noticed each student always has their own struggling point, so I am familiar with the solutions for different questions. All my students agree that I am very good at explaining questions.
