Homework
1 hour per week. Homework is to review lessons covered in the private session before the next lesson. Handouts will be customized for each learner. Ms.Stephenie likes to present new materials in each lesson, but learners will only be able to retain what was taught if they practice and review on their own.

Class Experience

In this 4-week long booking of 2 lessons per week (total of 8 lessons), learners will work one-on-one with Ms. Stephenie practicing Beginner Mandarin Chinese. Each lesson is customized just for the learner!

Parents/caregivers will have a correspondence with Ms. Stephenie prior to the private sessions to speak about expectations, goals and interests. Ms. Stephenie will then prepare lessons customized for the individual learner* with the various Chinese materials she uses. 

*for families who wish to have siblings enrolled in the same private session, a sibling discount can be applied, if requested.

Or for registered enrollees that would like to open a spot to another enrollee in their session (max 2 learners in these private sessions), I can reduce the lesson price to $25/class, at the end of the 4 weeks for each 8 classes with 2 learners, so the total is $200, instead of the $240 (1 learner). Parents/caregivers will need to request this when booking, so the instructor can adjust the number of open spots available.

When all 8 lessons are completed, Ms. Stephenie will discount 5% off the total at the end (not for classes with siblings). If learners will like to continue the private lessons, they can book again. 

Ms.Stephenie believes this 2-days/week schedule will allow learners time to retain and review what was covered in the lessons. The short 25-min (may extend to 30-min, if needed) will be good for most student’s virtual attention span.

Various topics can be covered, such as animals, food, colors, numbers, clothing, locations, interests, activities, important greetings, weather, school terms, and more. 

Students will learn key phrases to use after learning vocabulary. 

Speaking and listening will be emphasized in the private tutoring, as writing and reading can always be done without the instructor next to the student. However, it will and can be reviewed in the class, as well, if requested.

The customized lessons will be at a pace that is comfortable for the learner. Ms.Stephenie is familiar with various learning styles and find the best ones that work for your learner. She will make sure your learner will learn a lot from these 8 lessons. 

All learners welcome. This is a Beginner Mandarin tutoring session. For more advanced Mandarin tutoring, I would recommend another instructor or class. Feel free to correspond with Ms.Stephenie before any booking to see what works best for your child.
Learning Goals
Students will listen to many Mandarin vocabulary and practice using them in phrases and sentences, so they can communicate and have conversations with others. The private tutor will also help the student reach their goal, which is discussed prior to the lessons.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Columbia University
Hello! 
 
My name is Ms. Stephenie. I have been teaching various subjects for over 28 years. Although I had a few major career changes, the one thing that never changed was my passion for teaching anyone who wants to learn. 

While I have a Biomedical Engineering degree from Columbia University, my students also come to me to learn non-STEM subjects, test taking strategies, music and more.

I have taught basic introduction to advanced levels in various subjects, such as math (Singapore Math, Algebra, Pre-Calc, and etc.), sciences (biology, earth science, chemistry, physics), medical/dental subjects, STEAM/STEM topics, language arts, history, languages (Mandarin Chinese, ESL), test prep (SAT, SSAT, SHSAT, ACT, AP, MCAT, DAT, COGAT/OLSAT, NYS Regents, and etc.), robotics/coding, interviewing skills (former interviewer), public speaking, and music (former competitive piano and violin player) 🎶 . I teach music theory to beginner students of all ages in fun interactive ways and have helped them with their music auditions.

As an Educational Consultant, private admissions consultant, teacher, tutor, a stay-at-home mother, PTO mom, baseball/softball and field hockey Coach, Robotics Coach and Girl Scout Troop Leader, I am passionate in guiding students to try new things, be successful in what they do and to help them accomplish their personal goals, whether it is to learn how to play tennis, or to bake cookies made from scratch, to scoring high on their college admissions exams. I enjoy what I do and always find teaching to be the best part of my day. I also love teaching my own two kids, so I understand what kind of classes kids will enjoy and learn from.

With the current technology and virtual platform, my students come from all over the world. And I also enjoy learning from my students, as not one student is alike and can teach me so much about their culture, interests and experience. There’s always so much to learn from each other. And I strongly encourage the love of learning. So let’s begin this journey together! 

I am happy to try to accommodate your busy schedules, so please feel free to reach out if there is a class of interest you would like to attend, and we can work out a schedule together!

I can’t wait to see you in my classrooms!
