    My name is Annie Luo, and I am from Beijing. I've been passionately teaching Chinese for over 10 years. In addition to teaching, I also have a keen interest in learning Spanish. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new destinations, experimenting with cooking, and staying active through exercise.

    I decided to become a Japanese teacher after reading NARUTO in high school (ask me the rest in class!) I’m a huge anime and manga otaku and love both classics and new series.

    Have experience of teaching at the biggest Japanese language school in Singapore for nearly 3 years. In charge of classes from beginners to advanced level both group lessons and 1-on-1, as well as JLPT preparation courses for N5 & N4. Managed classes with different nationalities with various mother tongue language speakers by using direct method (meaning teaching Japanese in Japanese, strict but super effective!).
