During the probation period, my manager and I decided that the online classroom environment was not suitable for me and that a face-to-face environment would be more appropriate. I completed the probation period and received an average score of 4.7 / 5 from my student reviews, including a letter of recommendation from man- ager. One of the reasons why I moved to China was to immerse myself in the cul- ture, which was not possible at the online office in Shanghai.
