Hi, I am Sophia and I am from China. I have lived in the United States for 3 years. I used to be a English teacher for kids for 5 years. I also teach Chinese for some foreign kids. In my free time, I like watching movies, hiking, doing exercise and cooking. My favorite movie is The Devil Wear Prada, which give me the sense of working professional. Doing exercise is another thing I love to do. Every morning, I will follow Liu Genghong who is a famous exercise coach in China do some exercise. Every time when I am all sweaty, I feel so released and happy. Cooking is another thing I like to do when I am free. I love studying all different kinds of food. Such as pho, ramen, taco, spaghetti and so on. However my favorite food is till Chinese food. If you have same hobbies as me, welcome to book my classes, we can talk more and I will teach you more Chinese.

For the higher level students, I would like to help them practice more listening and spoken English.I will introduce more idiom stories, songs or movies and some buzzwords to them to allow them to learn more Chinese culture.
