My name is Dennis and I am originally from Beijing. I am currently living in San Francisco and have been tutoring students to speak Chinese for the past 5 years. I have introduced more than 200 students to the art of speaking conversational and formal Mandarin and would like to help you do the same.

My background is originally in Mechanically Engineering where I was an instructor and Director of the Physics Department at a technical school in Beijing. Thereafter I moved to Germany where I was an editor that oversaw the Chinese print for a German government publication. During that time I also became a private tutor for students at Hamburg University.

I have been living in the United States for the past 17 years and have been a tutor for employees at Apple, Rosetta Stone, Daly City Senior Center, and Guy Carpenter Reinsurance. I am also hired by private language institutes as a freelance instructor.

  I am a native of Beijing, China. I was a physics instructor after completing my degree in Mechanical Engineering. After one year of teaching, I became the director at Beijing Real Estate Technical School. Since then, I have continued to enjoy my role as a teacher. In 1987, I went to Hamburg, Germany to work as an assistant for Professor Kuan. The job duties included helping him type settings and lay out the materials in Chinese on the computer, assisting students' with conversational Mandarin, providing instruction on pronunciation, and editing German magazine in Chinese. I also organized Chinese projects as well and Chinese painting exhibitions. In 1990, I have had a chance to live and work in this United States and I am now an US citizen. After working more than ten years on various jobs, I realized that I missed my role as a Mandarin instructor. I believe I am an excellent Mandarin instructor and am very proud of my students. They come from well known universities such as Stanford, UC Berkeley, Harvard, UCSF, Cambridge, and Duke as well as great companies such as IBM, Google, and IDEO. I also teached Mandarin classes at Apple computer for 12 Ipod engineers, as well as Open TV, YMCA, UCSF, Guy Carpenter Re-Insurance Company.
