My comments on tutoring Chinese : I lived in China for one year and studied the language. I continue studying every day and plan to return to China for further study in 2013.

I spent the last year teaching English in China. I have experience teaching ESOL, and am experienced dealing learners of English of a second language. I studied Chinese during my stint there and am willing and able to tutor beginning students of the Chinese language who want to develop functional skills in Mandarin for career or personal development. I was an A-student during my time in college and often was the leader of study groups and offered personal tutoring to students struggling in my biblical Hebrew class. I served as a teacher's assistant for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I worked in a biochemistry lab for one summer during my undergraduate career.
I believe in adapting the teaching style to suit the student's learning style. Teaching English in China, I adopted a practical stance, teaching useful words and grammar and reinforced their reading lessons. The stu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching the kids very much. My teaching style is to have the kids interact with the curriculum as much as possible. They would use sight, sound, body motions to learn each word. I also believe in creativity. Being creative while teaching is important because it keeps the kids attention and help them to retain the information. I do not teach in large volumes of information but parts of it until the child understands it and remembers it well.
I was a student studying in Chinese Philosophy at the University in China. I taught many of my peers what the philosophy was and how to translate the meaning. Later, I worked as the Radio News Broadcaster for 1989-1999. I learned to investigate, write and report the news. I've won many journalistic awards for my reportings as well as documentaries. My journalism skills helped me to bring my skills to teaching Chinese School today in Ame ... read more
