👋 Hi, I’m Rui!

I’m a native Mandarin speaker from China, now living in the United Kingdom.

Before becoming a teacher, I spent 13 years in Shanghai working in supply chain management with top multinational companies. That experience gave me excellent cross-cultural communication skills and a deep understanding of how people from different backgrounds learn and collaborate.

After moving to the UK, I earned a Master’s degree in Psychology and Business Consulting, which helps me design lessons that are motivating, structured, and tailored to how each student learns best.

🌍 Having learned and lived in a second-language environment myself, I understand the challenges learners face — and I use practical strategies, patience, and empathy to help my students succeed. Plus, being in the UK means it’s easy to schedule lessons without major time zone issues!

Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, reading, exploring psychology, and meeting new people. My classes are engaging and encouraging — whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced speaker preparing for HSK/HSKK exams or professional communication. Students describe my lessons as supportive, structured, and inspiring. 💪
