My major was international business. I have three years of teaching experience, mainly about tutoring foreign students Chinese, and children English from six to eleven years old.

I also design each student’s study plans and learning outcomes. By observing each student's situation, I provide solutions tailored to each student’s problems. In class, I like to discuss the culture and history of my country, and I also encourage students to talk about their own country. It is my teaching philosophy to have a relaxed and light-hearted classroom experience.

After class, I will give students homework and tests to evaluate their progress. I will give feedback to help and encourage students to make more progress. If needed, I can tutor students to take the HSK exam from level 1 to level 6.

When I was at the university, I have studied general economics, as well as management classes including business management, marketing, financial management, so if you want to learn business Mandarin, I have a good theoretical background with business topics. I can also speak and understand some Korean since I lived in Korea for some time.
