About Me
Hello, I’m Aria — a native Chinese speaker, jewellery designer, and current PhD researcher at Loughborough University.
I teach both creative arts and beginner-friendly Chinese, helping learners build practical skills with patience and clear guidance.

I specialise in contemporary jewellery, design thinking, material exploration, and creative portfolio development. I have several years of experience supporting students applying to art and design programmes in the UK and internationally.

At the same time, I also teach Chinese for everyday communication and workplace use, especially for complete beginners who want simple and practical lessons.

My classes are highly personalised and gentle in pace. Whether you want to:
• develop drawing and design skills
• strengthen your portfolio
• understand design concepts
• or learn Chinese for daily conversation

I adapt each session to your goals and learning style, with clear examples and step-by-step guidance.
