I am a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and have taught the language for more than 3 years to students of all levels. I received my Master’s in Teaching (MIT) from University of Washington (UW). While a student at UW, I was part of the UW BECA Fellowship dual-language program. I did my student teaching in the dual language English-Mandarin immersion program at Jing Mei International Elementary School in Bellevue. I am passionate about teaching Mandarin Chinese and an enthusiastic teacher committed to creating an atmosphere that encourages productive learning. In addition to my Master’s Degree, I have earned the following credentials: Emergency Teaching Certificate, Washington State; Middle School Math Endorsement (pending, passed the test); TESOL Certificate; Early Childhood Learning certificates, Washington State; Early Childhood License, People’s Republic of China.
Students will be expected to review and practice Pinyin, simple dialogues, and vocabulary words at home, which we will practice internalizing in class.
Students will need access to paper/a notebook, a pencil/pen, and colored pencils at home.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
In each lesson, I will have conversations with students one-on-one in Mandarin to assess their progress.
2 hours 15 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Parents should make sure their child spends enough time at home practicing Pinyin, vocabulary, dialogues, and songs so that they can feel comfortable participating in class.
Students will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools. However, I do suggest using this website https://chinese.littlefox.com/en for your child to practice reading stories. Children really love this website. When the videos tell stories, they show both Chinese characters (written words) and Pinyin (tones). https://chinese.yabla.com/chinese-pinyin-chart.php This one is great to practice Pinyin. When you click this link, you will see a Mandarin Chinese Pinyin Chart. You click on a word and it will read for you. Very useful for learning Pinyin. These two resources are excellent!
