Hi,
I am Dennis from Taiwan who has fruitful experiences in language instructions for various age groups, from preschoolers to adult learners. My teaching philosophy is to seek the best way to meet learners' needs. I can design customized learning plans for each individual learners to accommodate different needs. For example, I have designed an intensive series of lessons for standard exams, such as AP and SAT Chinese. For adult learners, I usually discuss with learners and set an achievable goal, for example, some specific skills that you would like to improve. I also had experiences working with learners who are preparing for HSK and language tests relevant to AAPPL.

Receiving bachelor's degree in teaching Chinese as the second language from National Taiwan Normal University, I have acquired plenty of professional training. In addition, I also participated in a training program for language educators at George Mason University. I am also certified by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan to teaching Chinese as the second language.

As designing a lesson for younger learners, I follow ACTFL (American Committee of Teaching Foreign Language) standards which are also adopted by most of the immersion schools. As for adult learners, I can customize lessons for you to meet your long-term and short-term goals.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Knowledgeable and engaging Mandarin tutor

Ms. Dennis has been tutoring my son in AP Chinese since the beginning of this year. She is a very resourceful and engaging Mandarin tutor who my son enjoys working with within the past few months. She knows the test very well and has created a customized lesson plan for my son to prepare for the AP Chinese exam, and also provided homework assignments after each lesson. Ms. Dennis is responsive and flexible to accommodate our last-minute requests. Overall we had a great experience with Ms. Dennis. We strongly recommend her.

Amazingly dedicated tutor

Crystal tutored my 11th grade daughter in Mandarin and did wonders to improve her speaking and writing abilities, and her overall grades. Crystal was incredibly responsive, communicative, and dedicated. My daughter loved working with her. Thank you, Crystal, so much!

Best AP Chinese tutor!

We couldn’t have asked for a better AP Chinese tutor for my son! We had been through a few others trying to find the right one and were glad we came across Dennis (Crystal). She has been accommodating with schedule changes, requests for additional session, but most importantly has had a great energy and passion for her work. She was able to keep my son interested while improving his preparation for the test. His overall speaking ability has improved while under her watch too. My son went into the test very confident of getting a 5. If you’re looking for a Chinese language tutor or AP Chinese tutor, look no further!

Highly recommend !

Ms. Dennis was a great tutor for AP Chinese. I had to study for about 2 or 3 months before the AP test not being 100% prepared but when we met for the first time, she asked me what I found easiest and hardest. Then we started working on the things I found difficult until i got them down. I felt super prepared walking into the AP test and I would highly recommend her.

Extraordinary!

She super amazing and I would highly recommend her to any students looking to learn Chinese in general or for students who are planning on taking the ap Chinese exam. Honestly, after working just over a month with her, I felt beyond prepared going in and had the tools needed to do well on all sections of exams plus I was also able to access other opportunities beyond ap testing and even partake in events with native speakers across the world in Taiwan!! Couldn’t recommend more!

Exceptional AP Chinese Tutor!!!

Ms. Dennis (aka Ms. Crystal), she is an above par tutor with her plethora of resources and dedicated teaching. She is available to answer questions, she provides plenty of exercises to practice with, and she is very knowledgeable about the format of the AP exam. Ms. Crystal even offered free office hours leading to the AP exam. She truly cares about the student's learning, and she is skilled in ensuring that the student learns. You cannot ask for a better Mandarin teacher!

Kind and well prepared tutor

As soon as my daughter finished her first session, she beamed and thanked me for finding such an amazing tutor! My daughter had a couple of sessions for her AP Chinese exam, and I think her immediate response after the first session says it all. The tutor was kind and well prepared, she connected with my daughter immediately, and my daughter felt comfortable during the entire session receiving valuable information and asking all the questions she had. I feel that her time was spent very efficiently. Thank you so much!!!

BEST AP CHINESE TEACHER OUT THERE, NO REBUTTALS ACCEPTED

she is just a great teacher who knows what to do and understands the test really well. She also has really good energy and that would accompany students really well. TRY HER!

Great tutor

Got into what I needed to work on right away. She provided great feedback and was able to help me figure out words and phrases that I forgotten without telling me them right away. Excellent teacher.
