Over her 15-year career, Christine’s teaching has spanned Europe and Asia. She has taught diplomats at the American Institute in Taiwan, lectured at universities, directed curriculum for language learning games, and trained top executives across various industries. Beyond teaching, Christine has actively contributed to paleographic research, having worked as a Research Assistant at Academia Sinica independently analyzing Chinese oracle bone inscriptions for a project on the evolution of Chinese characters. She is currently the lead instructor for Outlier Linguistics.

A lifelong language learner, Christine is a native Mandarin speaker and is fluent in English. She has studied Thai and Latin, and is currently learning French, Korean, Japanese, and Italian. She loves learning languages because it allows her to directly understand the difficulties her own students face. Having attended a Japanese school in Tokyo and an Italian language school in Milan, she uses her personal experiences as a student to continuously shape and improve her teaching methods. She also has a profound appreciation for Chinese literature, drawing inspiration from classical masterpieces like Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin, as well as modern works by Eileen Chang and Pai Hsien-yung.

Outside of her professional work, Christine enjoys observing culture and storytelling in everyday life. During her time abroad, she loved exploring the city on foot, wandering through distinct neighborhoods, and visiting bookstores, museums, and small cafés where diverse ideas were exchanged. In her current city, she continues to seek out quiet, reflective activities, finding creative outlets in reading, writing, and designing learning materials, as well as discovering local art exhibitions and historical neighborhoods. She is also an avid traveler; being in unfamiliar environments reminds her of the curiosity and uncertainty of being a language learner, reinforcing her core belief that language education is ultimately about human connection, curiosity, and cultural exploration.
