More details about your skills

Hi everyone, my name is Yichi. I am an Australian of Chinese origin. I am fluent in both Chinese and English. I have traveled to almost 60 countries all over the world. I have volunteered and worked at language schools in Colombia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Venezuela. Such experiences have enabled me to acquire teaching experience, learn local languages, and gain insights into the language learning process.

In Australia, I worked in IT, developing applications for the iPhone. Afterward, I transitioned to real estate and became a property manager. Additionally, I pursued photography and videography as hobbies, participating in friends’ weddings and ceremonies. I possess a strong command of Office applications, photo/video editing, and accounting software. I have also acquired skills in house maintenance, such as painting walls, replacing toilet cisterns, fixing leaking taps, and repairing door locks due to the high cost of labor in Australia. During my university years, I worked in restaurants and cafes, learning to prepare various drinks, desserts, and Asian dishes in the process.
