Professional Background

Teaching Philosophy

Spark Interest, Build Foundation, Master Application.
(激发兴趣，夯实基础，精通应用)

I believe in a tailored approach that evolves with the learner. My goal is to make Chinese not just a subject to study, but a tool to explore the world.
(我相信因材施教的理念。我的目标是让中文不仅仅是一门学科，而是探索世界的工具。)
