About Me
Hi! My name is Laura. Welcome to my magic coaching world! I am a Chinese girl with glasses...and being a little nerdy just means I enjoy quiet reflection, critical thinking, and deep conversations. If you are ready to discover my role as your magic guide, let’s embark on this journey together!
I am an academic coach
I traveled through 8 different countries as a child, an experience that sparked my passion for language and inspired me to teach English as a Second Language (ESL). I have worked with ESL learners from beginner to advanced levels, accumulating several years of teaching experience. I have developed a strong specialization in identifying their learning challenges and creating tailored educational plans.
I am a career coach
I am a first-generation immigrant who has walked the winding road of identity, belonging, and career discovery. Now, I use that magic to guide newcomers on their own unique journeys. I have advised and coached newcomers with multiple barriers to employment. I have developed a strong specialization in coaching individuals toward their employment goals.
I am a Chinese horoscope reader
I love exploring Chinese magic and ancient wisdom to uncover the hidden patterns that shape our lives. I specialize in Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗数), an ancient form of astrology that offers deep insights into personality and life paths.
And...I am a dog lover and enjoy cooking dishes from different cultures
Taste Different Cultures!
Now that you have met me, let’s unveil the magic I bring to light your path
