About Me

Hello, I’m an English teacher at a leading secondary school in Chongqing, China. I hold a CET‑6 qualification and an IELTS score of 7.0, which enables me to transition smoothly between Chinese and English and communicate with clarity and precision in both languages.

I previously served for more than two years as a state‑sponsored Mandarin teacher in Fiji. This experience equipped me with a deep understanding of cross‑cultural communication as well as the principles of effective language acquisition. I can design tailored Chinese courses, whether it is to master natural everyday communication or to prepare for Chinese proficiency tests.

I enjoy connecting with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and bring an open‑minded, inclusive perspective to my teaching. Having travelled extensively across Europe and Oceania, I integrate cultural insight into my lessons and draw on my passion for Chinese cuisine, history, culture, and daily life to create an engaging and meaningful learning experience.

Location

Neighbourhood

I live in a high‑end residential estate in northern Chongqing. The development is divided into several clusters, with buildings predominantly featuring a British Georgian architectural style. The community is well‑equipped to support daily living, offering a premium bilingual nursery, a community healthcare centre, and a fresh produce supermarket. The Guanghuan Shopping Park, located just a five‑minute walk away, is an integrated retail and leisure complex. The estate also benefits from excellent transport links. The east gate is only 200 metres from Chongguang Station (Metro Line 5), providing quick access to major destinations such as Chongqing North Railway Station and the Optoelectronics Park Business District. Within a 300‑metre radius, the York County and Chongguang Interchange bus stops offer multiple routes, including 625, 878 and 149, with direct connections to Zhaomushan Forest Park, the Jinzhou commercial district, and other key areas across the city.
