Summary

I am an easygoing person, and being involved in education has provided me with a wonderful path to become a better person. I learn from children and grow alongside them; it is they who make me feel more complete. Currently, I am living in Perth, pursuing further studies in early childhood education. I love nature and often spend my holidays in the forest, mountains, or by the seaside, reinforcing my belief that nature has the power to heal us. I am also very disciplined, waking up at 5:30 every morning to start my day with prayer, meditation, or yoga.

BSB British International Primary School

In my Chinese teaching, I integrated the Montessori method, emphasizing students' self-directed learning and hands-on activities to create a free yet orderly learning environment. I designed and implemented a series of interactive and rich teaching activities based on students' interests and abilities, allowing them to learn Chinese in an enjoyable atmosphere. Through these methods, within just a few weeks, my students' speaking abilities significantly improved. They became confident in introducing themselves and were able to read simple Chinese characters using Pinyin, demonstrating good Pinyin and character recognition skills.
