About Me
I used to be a professor teaching English at a local university for nearly two decades. I mainly taught English to adult learners and was loved by my students. I’m also a certified Chinese teacher for foreign learners and have taught Chinese at adult learning agencies. I’m patient, joyful and helpful. I love Chinese culture and enjoy calligraphy, playing Guqin and making traditional Chinese food. I’m proud of local area and happy to show my guests around to appreciate the diversity of China. I can also teach guests embroidery to experience the beautiful Chinese arts and crafts.
