Hello everyone, my name is Maria and I’m an English teacher in Eagle A3, where I work alongside teacher Jeniffer. I arrived in Suzhou mid-September to begin teaching at LSIK. I’m from county Kildare, Ireland. My background includes a four-year Bachelors (BA) degree in Physiology (2014-2018) and a one-year Master’s (MSc) degree in Toxicology and Regulatory Affairs (2018-2019).

I love to travel and have always wanted to live abroad. I chose to live in China as I wanted to immerse myself in a completely different culture. I’m thoroughly enjoying my experience in China so far, and everyone working at LSIK has been so welcoming and helpful to me. Since September, I have already learned a great deal as a person from working with kids at LSIK and I hope to continue grow in the future. Finally, I hope to visit many places in China in the coming months, as I believe the country has a lot to offer.
