Loving,caring Chinese tutorlooking for a part time job

I had been an English teacher for kids in china over two years before I came to the US and I have been tutoring for a year last year in San Francisco for one 4year old and one 2- year-old. I love kids and I'd like to share not just language but culture with the kids. I love reading for them in Chinese and role play. It's fun to show a curious kid to do something I like
Fun way

Chinese is one of my top subjects! I am a native speaker and have a M.A. degree on Chinese literature and culture. I, as a certified teacher, have worked as a teacher in China for more than 10 years.

I have achieved my MA in Chinese, my BA in Japanese, and worked as a language teacher for 11 years in China. Almost all of my students have not just improved their language abilities, but passed the language proficiency tests such as HSK Test (Chinese) and JLPT test (Japanese).I would like to help students realize their potential. I would also like to help young kids learn a foreign language when they can make amazing achievements in language. In fact, I am surprised by my four-year-old daughter's ability to learn a foreign language.

My comments on tutoring Chinese : I was not only trained in second language development and bilingual education in school but also practiced my skills in the real classroom. After coming to U.S., I taught Mandarin Chinese to K-12 students at various levels. I taught Chinese for Elementary school students in Pennsylvania. My latest teaching experience was Mandarin teacher in a Chicago high school. In this high school, I initiated a 4-year Chinese program and taught students from Grade 9-11. In my class, students were not only learning the 4 language skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing, but also immersed in Chinese culture. In the last year of the program, some students were sent to China for their senior trip. I also had experience working with college and graduate school students. I had been Teaching Assistant for Chinese Traditional Culture Class in graduate school. This was an advanced graduate-level course offered to American students who were learning Chinese in China. Through the experience as both a foreign language student and an assistant teacher, I acquaint myself with the difficulties and needs of the students while they are learning a foreign language.

My education background focused on education issues in different countries and cultures as well as second language learning and teaching. I earned Ph.D. in International and Comparative Education at the Pennsylvania State University. I got my Master degree in International and Comparative Education and my Bachelor degree as a language teacher in English Education (Teaching English as a Second Language). I was not only trained in second language development and bilingual education in school but also practiced my skills in the real classroom.

My comments on tutoring Chinese : Expert in writing, reading, and speaking mandarin Chinese. 5 on AP Chinese Test

Depending on the subject, I utilize from my own academic career tools that I found were the most effective and most successful. More than willing to pass on my knowledge, I pledge to do my best in delivering the information in a concise manner that gets straight to the point.
Experience: Standardized Testing Scores: ACT - 35 SAT - 2300 SAT II Math II - 800 SAT II Chemistry - 800 SAT II Biology - 790 5's on all AP Tests listed above. I've been tutoring for the better part of two years. Through that time, I have gained an earnest understanding of what it means to be an effective mentor. I stand by my belief that knowing the information and teaching the information are two entirely different things. When I tutor, I use techniques that get directly to the heart of the information. I primarily tutor ACT/SAT prep, Math to Calculus III, and all the Sciences. I am ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I was born in Taiwan and grew up in Shanghai. I tutored English in Shanghai and tutored Mandarin at Wheaton College. I'm confident in not just teaching Mandarin but relating the language to American culture and Chinese culture. I am a third year student majoring in Geology at Wheaton College. I spent one year as a teaching assistant in the geology department at Wheaton.
I believe the best way to improve Mandarin is through speaking it. Therefore, I will stress on the oral portion more. I think reading and discussing about articles on different subjects is a good way to help students feel comfortable about speaking Chinese. I think geology is a subject that needs to be verbalized and visualized. Therefore, I will rely on graphics and dialogues with my students to help them familiarize themselves with geologic concepts.
