I have 3 students in past 3 years and one of them went to university last year. All of them started private English tutoring with me in their secondary school stages. I mainly helped them with their RUAE, Critical Essay as well as Portfolio Writing. I started with one student, and gradually build up to three from words of mouth. I could not take more due to personal circumstances.

• Witnessing the progress of students both academically and personally is an incredibly rewarding experience.
• I helped them with critical thinking and analysing skills by encouraging analytical thinking, challenging them with thought-provoking questions, and engaging in discussions.

Over past 12 years, I provided interpretation services for major immigration law firms in Glasgow area for client consultations, mediations as well as supporting legal proceedings, including court hearings.

• I managed to form strong verbal and written communication skills in both English and Chinese.
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to establish rapport with clients
• Attention to detail and ability to handle complex tasks under high pressure.
• Excellent time management and organizational skills.

I worked here for around 8 months, and during which I finished the training with 5 "A" from the UK's leading jewellery trade association NAJ. I also acquired the training certificate from famous Watch brand such as Vacheron Constantin, Breguet, Longines etc.

The company is mainly supporting the catering industry. As the senior consultant, I use my knowledge and expertise to help businesses in this sector thrive. My aim is helping them to achieve their goals, deliver exceptional experiences to customers, and succeed in a highly competitive industry. I help my clients with:

• Menu Development and Innovation

I worked there for almost 4 years, through team efforts, we helped many shops from almost closed down and transformed to regaining businesses; from businesses with old, out of date operational system transformed to modern, thriving and effective operational system.
