I was born and raised in China. I'm fluent in Chinese speaking, listening, and writing. I have a Bachelor's degree in English from Nanjing Forestry University. In college, I was an English Teacher in Global Education Organization Nanjing School for over one year. I was also a private Chinese tutor for two kids (age six and thirteen) from one American family who was living in China, as well as an adult from Australia. Through my teaching experiences, I've found I teach language in a friendly, patient, and interesting way. I also earned my Master's Degree in Academy of Art University in San Francisco, majoring in Fashion Merchandising. I worked for a jewelry company and a home fashion textile company back in San Francisco and recently relocated in Portland in Jan 2015. My hobbies and interests include traveling and painting.
