MY WHY
My passion for learning and sharing knowledge is the driving force behind everything I do.
Join me on my journey of growth!
Hi, I'm Shuyi. Welcome to my portfolio! Here, I'm excited to share with you my academic journey, professional experiences, and the ongoing work I'm passionate about.
My journey has been one of constant growth and new perspectives—from my beginnings in a small town in southwestern China, to the dynamic campus life at Peking University, and now to pursuing my master’s in applied linguistics at the University of Tokyo. As a member of the Dai ethnic minority, I’ve often found myself in classrooms where my language and culture weren’t represented. These experiences have inspired my commitment to building the kind of inclusive learning environments I once wished for—spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

I see teaching and learning as two sides of the same coin—inseparable and equally vital to meaningful education. My experiences as a tutor and teaching assistant have allowed me to work with students from a wide array of backgrounds, from supporting high school classrooms in China to assisting undergraduates with English writing and facilitating Japanese conversation in international settings. Each role has shown me that every interaction is a chance for both my students and me to grow, whether it's mentoring future global citizens, working on international education projects, or advocating for educational technology. I'm committed to breaking down cultural and language barriers and fostering a love for lifelong learning.
My work continues to grow at the intersection of language education, learning technologies, and teaching innovation. I’m currently exploring how transformative tools—especially generative AI—can support English language learners not just as a resource, but as a catalyst for deeper engagement. My focus lies in digital literacy and effective prompt strategies, helping learners navigate and harness these technologies with confidence.
Looking ahead, my long-term goal is to become an educator and researcher who bridges research, practice, and policy. I’m especially interested in how large language models and data-driven insights can be used to empower both learners and teachers in diverse contexts.
Ultimately, I aspire to teach internationally and contribute to shaping educational policies that promote equity, celebrate linguistic diversity, and encourage every student to expand their horizons—just as others have helped me expand mine.
ASPIRATION
Inspire lifelong learning, embrace diverse talents, and make education a force for positive change—one heart and mind at a time.
