Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Vivien. I grew up in Taiwan. Mandarin Chinese is my first language. I studied in Australia and the U.S.A. so I know how it feels to learn a second language. I have been a Mandarin Chinese teacher, translator, interpreter and an advisor for international students. I love teaching Mandarin Chinese and my experiences help me to help my students reach their goals smoothly and happily.
One of my supervisors made a comment about my teaching style: “Hi Vivien, I really enjoyed watching you teach! You spoke clearly and covered unit's content. You were patient, encouraging and professional. You gave clear corrections and praised student throughout the session. You used role play and Q&A activities very well to allow your learner to practice and talked more during the session. You maintained eye contact and a smiling disposition. Your image was clear and centered. Overall very good session, Thanks for your hard work!”
Here are some comments from my students: “ Dedicated, exceptionally competent, and most importantly, effective in pulling in my child's excitement to learn." "fantastic teacher, thanks for speaking slowly and clearly, very helpful!" "Very good teaching. Well-paced reinforcement. Vivien seems to enjoy her job." "SO GOOD!!! love with other students. Teacher hen hao!" "Thank you Vivien!”
Based upon the feedback from my students, I believe your children will enjoy learning with me.
I encourage you to learn Chines language and culture. Come join me.
