Teacher expertise and credentials
My experience comes form having travel to China and Hong Kong during my younger days and having spent a month staying in the country. On a personal side, I am part Chinese from my father's side of the family, whose roots are from Hong Kong. I was raised with some family members that are ethnically Chinese. Growing up in a family with member of that culture, I learned not only the language but also culture and daily life.
