Hello! My name is Mark, and I am a California teaching credential candidate with a strong background in mathematics and Mandarin Chinese. I hold an undergraduate degree in Information and Computing Science, which included extensive mathematics coursework. I am pursuing California teacher credential preparation in Mandarin and have also completed substantial preparation for secondary mathematics teaching, including the California CSET Mathematics examinations.
I currently have real classroom teaching experience as a student teacher at a public high school, where I teach Mandarin to students with different proficiency levels. As a native Mandarin speaker, I can help students with conversation, pronunciation, reading, writing, AP Chinese preparation, and school coursework. For families who prefer bilingual support, I can also teach mathematics in either English or Mandarin Chinese.
My teaching style is patient, structured, and focused on building both confidence and academic skills. I believe students learn best when concepts are explained clearly and broken into manageable steps. Whether a student needs homework help, test preparation, extra practice, or stronger foundational understanding, I adapt my teaching to meet their individual needs.
