My Story
I was born and raised in the northern part of China by my wonderful parents, and I grew up with one brother and two sisters. Even from a young age, I've always been captivated by the beauty of languages. This passion led me to study not only English but also Japanese and German during my undergraduate and graduate studies back in China.
For over two decades, I've had the privilege of teaching both Chinese and English. Beyond the classroom, I've also enjoyed serving our local communities through professional translation work and various language/cultural training activities.
Greenville has truly become my second hometown. I'm blessed to share my life here with my husband and our three beautiful daughters. Together, we enjoy the simple pleasures of reading, cooking delicious meals, and making music. Another of my favorite pastimes is playing competitive badminton. I've been an active member of our Greenville badminton club for many years, and now I also have the joy of coaching my daughters in the sport.
I am truly excited to meet each and every one of you and to share the fascinating journey of learning English together!
