About Me
I am a passionate, patient, and creative teacher!
Currently, I live in Athens, Greece but I am also available for online learning.
I believe languages can be learned flexibly in many ways, and I am good at teaching academic writings as I was trained before.
I speak fluently Chinese and Mandarin (with a Beijing accent maybe), I also speak Spanish and German (B2 level), and I would like to inspire each other through learning!
