About Me
italki teacher since Nov 15, 2025InterestsFoodMarketingFashion & BeautyBusiness & FinanceSports & Fitness
拥有20余年跨国企业财务管理经验，担任财富300强企业财务总监。工作中，全英文主持跨国会议、撰写商务报告、谈判国际合作，因此精通于商务中文和零基础教学。
生活中，我曾用自创的趣味方法带孩子3 年裸考通过 KET，因此我也擅长儿童趣味教学。现在的我，是一名热爱教学、善于沟通的专业中文老师，擅长将复杂的知识拆解为清晰易懂的内容。
Hello, I'm Serena! With over 20 years of financial management experience in multinational corporations, I serve as a Finance Director in a Fortune 300 company. My career involves leading cross-border meetings in English, writing business reports, and negotiating international deals, which hone my expertise in both teaching Business Chinese and absolute beginners.
In my personal life, I successfully guided my own child to pass the KET exam without formal preparation using my self-created, fun learning methods.Me as a Teacher
*对“学习结果”认真负责：
我在全球化工作环境中不仅积累了扎实的专业能力，更练就了流利的英语沟通能力：从主持全英文跨国会议时的专注投入，到与海外总部同步财务数据时的细致严谨。这份 “对结果负责的热情”，也会延续到中文教学中 —— 我会像对待工作项目一样，认真对待每一位学生的学习目标，帮你把中文学习从 “任务” 变成 “有成就感的事。
*将“爱好”融入教学中：
我热爱健身和研读中外历史。运动让我更懂 “循序渐进” 的学习逻辑，也培养了我对他人的耐心 —— 就像健身时不会强求初学者一蹴而就，对待零基础学生，我会根据你的基础调整节奏，哪怕一个发音、一个语法点需要反复练习，我都会用 “鼓励式进阶” 的思路，帮你克服畏难情绪，稳步提升；对历史的热爱，则让我能把汉语知识和文化背景结合起来，在分享中传递对文化的热情，让你不仅学语言，更能理解语言背后的脉络，让学习过程既有深度又有温度。
*跨文化交流的背景和清晰的讲解
曾被集团委派泰国、印度公司指导 ERP 系统上线，面对文化差异和语言细节的沟通难点，我会结合当地业务场景举例，全程用英语耐心引导。因此在教学中，我不搞 “填鸭式” 教学，我深知语言背后的文化差异，教学中会结合背景讲解，让你不仅会说中文，更懂“得体沟通”。
*授之于渔的心态
20 多年职业生涯中，我持续带教下属，从财务分析思路的梳理到职场成长规划的建议，从不会因事务繁忙而敷衍，而是手把手耐心指导，如今很多下属已成长为公司骨干 —— 这份 “帮人成长” 的成就感，也是我热爱教中文的一个原因。
*从0到1的经历
作为一位妈妈，我更把 “耐心” 刻进了亲子教育里：孩子 5 岁时 My lessons & teaching style
*零基础轻松入门：
从发音到句子，循序渐进，不怕你从0开始。让你用短短2节课，就能读懂80%的拼音，真正做到轻松入门。
*成人商务汉语：
如果你是即将步入职场或已经是职场人，想学习商务中文应对跨国会议、邮件沟通或合作谈判，我会带着对专业的热情，结合真实场景设计课程，帮你快速掌握 “能直接用的中文”；
*成人口语提升：
拒绝“哑巴中文”！用旅行/职场话题练对话，流行语、日常表达全解锁，开口就是自然感。不仅如此，我们也能在聊中国历史文化、谈运动场景对话（比如 “去健身房怎么说”“跑步时的常用表达”）的过程中，感受语言学习的快乐。
