Hello, I'm YUAN YUAN S.
Hello, my name is Yuan. I have five years of experience working as a children's English teacher in China, where I developed strong communication skills, patience, and a deep love for working with kids. In addition to teaching, I also helped my parents run a barbecue restaurant for several years. This experience not only taught me how to manage a business but also sparked my passion for cooking. I’m skilled in preparing Chinese cuisine and enjoy baking in my free time. Beyond work, I have a wide range of interests. I play the piano and enjoy outdoor and extreme sports such as skiing and scuba diving. I believe these hobbies help me stay active, curious, and balanced in life. I’m a patient, responsible, and energetic person who truly enjoys working with children and exploring new challenges.
My Family
I was born in 1994 into a small and loving family in Northeast China. There are three of us in the family—my parents and me—and we are all Christians. My parents have a harmonious and supportive relationship, and they currently live in China. Growing up in such a close-knit and faith-filled environment has greatly shaped who I am today.
My Favourite Memory
In 2023, I made a life-changing decision to leave my previous job and set off on a journey around the world. I traveled to different countries, went diving in beautiful oceans, made new friends, and immersed myself in unfamiliar cultures. Each place I visited offered new perspectives and unforgettable sights that opened my heart and mind in ways I had never expected. Through these experiences, a desire began to grow within me—to step out of my comfort zone in China and embrace the unknown. I wanted to challenge myself, to explore the world not just as a traveler, but as someone seeking a new way of living and growing. Everything feels possible now. The future may be uncertain, but I’m ready for it—with open arms and an open heart.
My Education
Since graduating from university, I have never stopped learning. I went on to earn certifications in Open Water (OW) and Advanced Open Water (AOW) diving, beginner-level baking, maternal and infant care, and lactation consulting. Currently, I am continuing my studies in a language program at the C1 level.
My Interests
In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, cooking, watching movies, skateboarding, working out, learning guitar, and studying Spanish. During the winter, I go snowboarding in my hometown, and when I travel, I love to go scuba diving.
My Motivation
Working alongside a local family will help me become more familiar with the local culture and learn things beyond what I could have expected. Life is all about experiencing and growing, and I truly look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
