For this class, we'll channel students' passion for Super Mario for Chinese learning! We will use Super Mario-themed puzzles, Super Mario quiz games, and a Mario Kart racing game to give students an opportunity to learn and write Chinese words. All the games in this class are not real video games. They are fun activities that can help our students to pick up the language in a fun and engaging way. The students will hear me speaking Chinese often, so they can start to immerse themselves in Chinese. For learners with no Chinese background, repetitive lessons and a higher frequency of meetings are suggested. Some Chinese background is highly suggested. However, this class is for beginners. 5 minutes - Introduction and rules 15 minutes - Learn and Write New words 10 minutes - Mario- themed Quiz game(new word practice) 10 minutes - "Mario Kart" mini quiz ( new word practice) 10 minutes - Summarize and sentence practice (depending on students' level)！ Ask me about a 50% sibling discount.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Ruiyi. I’m a native Chinese speaker. I’ve lived in the U.S. for almost 9 years. I graduated with an MA degree in linguistics. I have taught at FAU for two years as a teacher assistant. I’ve taught at a high school, as well as several language schools. I'm currently teaching Chinese for two programs including the LEAP program with the Air Force and the VFLC program with the National Defense Department. Meanwhile, I'm teaching for after-school programs and high school credit programs for California school districts.
I believe that teaching classes in Chinese while incorporating hands-on activities, games, visual stimulations, and technology will facilitate language understanding and activate a higher level of thinking. I try my best to make language classes fun and encouraging. My goal for my classes with your children is to make language learning an enjoyable activity, rather than a chore.
All of my classes are immersion classes. It is at this stage that children learn pronunciation easily, and vocabulary sticks longer. Linguists do not recommend teaching young children a language since they will pick it up on their own. I will use repetition a lot in my classes. Children acquire the language by listening to me speak and repeat.Reviews
