About Me

Hello, I’m Teacher Lee. I live in Tainan, a beautiful city rich in history and culture. I’ve spent the past five years teaching elementary school students in Chinese, Mathematics, and Social Studies. Teaching has always been my passion, and I’m fortunate to have studied Chinese Language Teaching at the graduate level, earning a certification that allows me to teach students of all ages.

I believe that learning should be engaging, practical, and tailored to each student’s needs. Whether you want to explore trendy phrases used by young people or dive into classical idioms with deep cultural roots, I’m here to guide you! And if you’re ever curious about Tainan, I’d love to help you experience its rich traditions and modern innovations while learning Chinese.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy making new friends, travelling, and spending time with my family. We often go on trips, share meals with friends, and participate in church activities together. I’d love to welcome you into my world of language and culture. Looking forward to meeting you in Tainan!

Location

Neighbourhood

My home is situated in the Yong-Kang district of Tainan, within a vibrant residential community featuring eight high-rise buildings. Just behind my home stands Tainan’s largest municipal library—a stunning silver-grade green building designed by a team of talented Taiwanese and Dutch architects. Right in front of the apartment complex is Siao-ciao Park, where you’ll find a bus stop and a self-service bicycle rental. Next to the park is the Kangqiao 7-Eleven—the largest in Taiwan. A short stroll will also take you to a variety of shops and eateries, including Starbucks, CombiMart, Subway, several cozy brunch cafés, and a well-stocked pharmacy. For those needing access to the train, a quick 10-minute bike ride leads to Tainan Bridge Train Station.
