Experience
I have traveled and taught different ranges of children in many countries throughout Asia and Europe. I completed my B.A. in International Business from Providence University, Taiwan. Throughout my education, I received certifications for various methods of Teaching Chinese as a Second Language from both the business and social perspectives. I started my teaching journey back when I was still in school, teaching and tutoring both ESL and Mandarin classes. After school I participated in TCSOL (Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Language) programs and received the following certifications: TCSOL Certified: -Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages -Teaching Chinese for Business Purpose Cambridge Academy of Management Certified: -Teaching Chinese for Business Purposes EDI Certified: -Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language I have been tutoring Mandarin and hosting handmade crafts classes in my neighborhood and have also been babysitting and taught Mandarin in public school for their afterschool program. Right now I'm a dedicated Mandarin tutor and also teaching Mandarin in several preschools through out Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. When teaching a new language to a non-native speaker it is important to bring joy in the class to help inspire and encourage learning by being patient, supportive, and positive. Not only I focus on academics, I plan learning cultural activities to develop the creative skills as well. I hope to make this class an educational and fun filled experience for you.
