I moved from Taiwan in 1997 with my husband.We have a daughter who is 15 years old now. I have lived in Hamilton since the beginning of 1998.

I was a secondary school teacher before coming to New Zealand.
I teach Chinese literature and social science in a secondary school, which equivalents to New Zealand school from year 8 to year 13.

Before teaching in the secondary school, I worked as a relieving teacher for various primary schools in my hometown.

Before I step into the Cambridge Primary School, I have worked for two government agencies since 2010, the Department of Corrections and the Earthquake Commission.

Meanwhile, I manage/teach Japanese Fencing (Kendo) in the Waikato Kendo Association from 1999. I have represented NZ in the 2006 World Kendo Championships.

My experiences from teaching in school and community club made me believe a happy learner could fully reach their potential and achieve higher than average.

My perception about learning language is not only about the specific language, it's about learning the skills of learning except exploring a different culture.
