Experience Summary
Have been helping tutor students for 8 years. Began teaching 4 years ago in the Minnetonka School system as a paraprofessional assisting K-4th grade teachers in the Chinese Immersion Program. I have been tutoring to help children catch up and excel with Mandarin Chinese. In 2013 I began tutoring Edina High School students and teaching adult learners in the Chanhassan Chinese (business) program. In 2014 I taught at Minnesota International Chinese school with students ages from 11-16.
Teaching Style
My style is flexible and efficient, yet fun. I apply the methods that I used to learn English, to the way that I teach Chinese. I initially look at what the student needs and modify the learning content to those needs. I like to introduce fun cultural facts during my lessons. My intent is for students to find learning Mandarin Chinese engaging, satisfying and easier to learn.
My Hobbies
I enjoy cooking Chinese dishes, good restaurants, playing with my dogs, and spending time with my family.
Other Comments
I am Chinese and grew up in Taiwan. My first language was Mandarin Chinese and speak it with no Taiwanese accent. I learned English at an early age, am fluent in it as well, and speak it without an accent. Will consider students of all ages from areas surrounding Edina.
