Oh! You want to know more about me! I used to hate English, and I always ran away when I was studying. When I graduated from college, I was shocked that English ability would affect my choice of work so much. I was determined to start learning English. But I failed. I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t open my mouth. When I met foreigners, my mind went blank. Many times I wanted to escape, and then, when there were new opportunities, I had to give up because my English was not good. I would start learning again, only to stumble and progress very slowly... but I always dream of being fluent in English and going all over the world. Travel… After working for two years, I always felt that the days were the same. Every day was busy. There was no good, no bad, no progress. The only new thing was a trip to Paris. This trip made me dream of living abroad. I wanted to see more. See the world… But, the reality is that I was saving money to get married, walking on the road that everyone must take... Then, by a stroke of luck or fate, a sudden breakup gave me the courage to make my dream come true! I booked a language school and booked a one-way ticket. I flew to New York, a completely different world, a different life, full of novelty and fun every day, chatting with friends from all over the world, eating food from every corner of the globe.In this natural environment, I finally found a way to learn the language. After half a year, I returned to Taiwan. For sure, my English skills expanded my choices of work. So, I chose my favorite job. After working for a year and earning an English tutor's salary, I had enough money. I pursued another dream of mine. I went to a psychological research institute. Although everyone said that giving up a good salary is so stupid, I felt that it is stupid not to pursue my dreams and the life I want. I was very desperate to study for 3 months, I studied very hard and was happy because that was what I wanted. Then, I was admitted to the Soochow Institute of Psychology and spent a pleasant two years dedicating my life to research... After that, I went to Canada with my husband who was studying his doctoral degree. We lived near the French-speaking area, learned a little French, and make some French friends. I even taught foreigners Chinese, the language allowed me to have fun easily. When we came back to Taiwan, my husband taught at the university and I gained a new identity as a mom. I like to speak English with my children and give them the environment. I also continue to teach students to speak Chinese. Being a tutor lets me have a lot of time to spend with my children, and I feel very fulfilled when I see my students talking to foreigners in Chinese/English fluently. I chose to be a one-on-one Chinese/English tutor because it helps students achieve their goals faster and more effectively than the traditional classroom environment. Through my psychological counseling background and experience living abroad, I can help students break through blind spots and build confidence with practical success. My new dream is to create a parenting school. People need a driver's license to drive. Otherwise, it will be dangerous because they could hit people. So, why not receive instruction about parenting? No one buys a car and drives on the road without learning. But, why do people become parents without learning about it beforehand? The skills of riding a motorcycle, driving a car and a big truck is different, and parenting a baby, a child and even an adult are different. When you can drive well, driving is a pleasant activity. When you know how to be a parent, there will be one happier child in the world and one happier father or mother. In my free time, I love to paint, travel and eat or cook food. I think art and food are a kind of language that can be used to communicate with friends, enrich life and enjoy different types of fun. Would you like to know more about me? I love animals, reading books, watching movies, volunteering, camping, board games, Wii, X-box, singing, making friends... In the past few years, I have been to Venice, Spain, and Paris. I have been to New York, the Netherlands, South France, Turkey, Canada, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Hokkaido, Phuket, Okinawa, Shanghai, and the United Kingdom. I have lived in an ice hotel in Quebec. And also skated through the world's longest natural skating rink... If you like to travel, I think we will have a good time. I look forward to working with you! Candice
