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.
