Class Experience
Hello! 你好(ni hao) WHO could be the students? As there are more and more students are interested in learning and honing Mandarin Chinese nowadays, this class is offering to those who would like to learn Chinese constantly and systematically based on individual path and needs. WHAT the tutor class looks like? This ongoing class is designed based on students' interests, learning background and needs. I will work with student and parent to figure out learning goals at the beginning of our classes, then a plan and learning materials (topics) would be finalized! It could be a conversational class to practice listening and speaking, a movie time to learn dialogue in Chinese, a Q&A time for HSK test preparation etc. The class will be student centered, plan could be adjusted time to time. There could be homework within a hour per week, worksheets, reading material, Chinese character writing sheets will be provided for review during the week. WHICH topics the class will focus on (include but not limited): *Pinyin *Chinese characters *Vocabularies in sentence *Reading comprehension *Grammar *Writing WHICH language will be used in the class? It depends on student's level. For beginners, English will be the main language that I use in the class; For intermediate student, English could be used 50%; For advance student, it will be a Chinese immersion class. Refund will be issued with at least 24 hours notice before class. Schedule based on request.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I had been living in Beijing, one of the most historic city in China for more than 30 years, and grew up in Hutong and kept all the customs generation by generation. I taught mandarin in Oklahoma, US for 2 years and voluntarily provided Chinese culture sharing club in the local public elementary school for 3 years. I LOVE Chinese culture and this unique language. My dream is to support more and more students to know Chinese culture and Mandarin Chinese. I'm passionate to work with children on Chinese cultural learning and Mandarin teaching, because it's not only full of fun for me, but also meaningful for me.
