Born extroverted, Ms Xuan decided to choose English as her major at the university so that she could communicate with people from other countries. The four-year undergraduate studies at the Guangdong University of Foreign Studies proved to be a great success. Later, she was not satisfied with her first degree in English and pursued the postgraduate study in Human Resource Management in the University of Sydney in Australia. Ms Xuan received her master’s degree in 2003 and later in 2006 she was invited as a visiting scholar by the Business School of University of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom.

Ms Xuan has been actively involved in consultation and application for both college and private school  for more than 20 years in Canada. She has also acted as the Academic Director, designing and teaching ELL and SAT programs. Before she moved to Canada, Ms Xuan was a university lecturer who taught almost all subjects about English, such as listening, speaking, reading, essay writing and TOEFL preparation at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. She was a professional interpreter who received Certificates in Mandarin-English Community Interpretation and Cantonese-English Community Interpretation. She was also a volunteer translator for various non-profit organisations.
