Helping you answer the big questions
I began advising Chinese international students in 2015 for New Mind Education. Over 11 years I have advised 50+ students on how to feel confident and connect with others around them.
My advising style has transformed from prescriptive and structured to more flexible based on the individual student's needs or goals. My strength as an advisor lies in pushing back on students’ assumptions about themselves, sharpening their self-awareness and instilling resilience and self-empowerment.
My goal is to prove to each student how powerful they are, teaching how they can use a balance of self-compassion and focused ambition to answer the question: Why am I pursuing higher education? What is my passion or purpose?
What We Work On
Career
I help you explore your interests, strengths, and curiosities—especially if you don’t yet have a clear long-term plan. From there, we begin shaping the early steps of a direction that feels right for you, while also turning that clarity into practical actions like building resumes, exploring opportunities, and developing networking skills so you can move forward with confidence.
Self-Exploration
I guide you in understanding who you are beyond expectations from school, family, or society. Through reflective conversations, you learn how to express your identity, recognize what genuinely matters to you, and make choices based on your own values—not pressure from others.
Authentic English
I support you in developing natural, real-world English so you can express yourself clearly in school, work, and daily life. Through personalized practice, you learn how native speakers communicate.
Connections
I help you build meaningful connections with friends or professionals who can guide your academic and career journey. You learn how to communicate confidently, make a strong impression, and grow a supportive network.
