Description

Hi I'm Liru (you can call me Lyra), a fourth-year history undergraduate from Peking University in China. I've taken a gap year to embrace new life experiences.

I like dance, hiking, backpacking, camping and literature. What truly motivates me is the process of building genuine connections with others. Seeing what I can do to help, and leaving a place a little better than I found it, brings me great happiness.

I am endlessly curious, always seeking to learn more about the world and the diverse lives within it.

More details about your skills

My greatest skills lie in teaching, sharing, and connecting with people. As a native Chinese speaker with fluent English, I love bridging cultures through language. My experience as a volunteer teacher in several remote parts of China has given me a rich toolkit for teaching and deep sense of patience and adaptability. I would be excited to share my language and culture with people around the world.

My other great passion is dance. With a background inChinese classical dance, modern dance and ballroom dance, I see movement as a universal language of joy. I'd be happy to lead simple, fun workshops for anyone interested! I also love share food and cook authentic Chinese meals for people

I'm good at creating a positive group atmosphere—have a few psychology-based games to break ice!

I am an enthusiastic and quick learner, always eager to embrace new challenges. Whether it's learning about your project, picking up a new practical skill, or just lending a hand wherever needed, I'm ready to dive in with a positive attitude.

What else ...

I love bringing people together for an evening of cards or board games. I can introduce you to 'Guandan' and 'Doudizhu', two incredibly popular and strategic card games from China that are guaranteed to bring a lot of laughs. Of course, I also enjoy universal favorites like Uno and am always eager to learn any new games you'd like to share!
