“A different language is a different vision of life” – Federico Fellini. As a person who adores travelling to explore cultures and lives, I find it most fulfilled to have the opportunity and skills to introduce my mother language and the culture to whoever comes across this language from different corners of the world.

4.What is one of the most satisfying outcomes you’ve helped a student to achieve?
Three months before relocating to China, a student of mine from the UK contacted me for an intensive Business Mandarin course. I did thorough research on his company profile, understand his work routine, and explore the business occasions he would mostly encounter. A personalised business Mandarin program was designed which covers useful topics such as Meet & greet with your clients, introduce your products in a 3 mins speech, Chinese manners at workplace and Relationship building in China, etc. He proudly showed me the “thank you note” from his Chinese client four months later – saying he was the most fantastic supplier who can professionally explain the product in Chinese and communicate easily without culture barrier.
5.What is your favourite Chinese food?
Beijing Roast Duck for share with a bunch of friends!
