Experience Summary
I am a 22 year old Pittsburgh native who is conversationally fluent in Mandarin Chinese with a grammatical skill equivalent to HSK level 5. I have studied Mandarin for 4 years, a year of which was spent studying in immersive language programs in Beijing and Shijiazhuang China. During my time in China, I acquired experience teaching languages to Chinese students of a variety of ages and skill levels.
Teaching Style
I am comfortable teaching 1 on 1 classes, as well as small and large groups. I emphasize conversation in an attempt to improve my students oral Mandarin. Language is acquired primarily through direct implementation, so it is my belief that conversation is the single best method for improving one's Mandarin abilities.
