freelance teacher 

My name is Yvonne, and I’m from XinJiang. I came to Shanghai with my family when I was 12. I’ve been working in finance for the last 6 years. Currently, I work in early education company as an accountant. Before this job I worked in a bank for 3 years as a bank teller. The reason I quit my job is because I felt that it wasn’t suitable for me as I have a passion for working with children.

I hope to work in an international kindergarten as a teacher, as I feel that I would be good at it and I love kids.
