Bio

The greatest teacher is a learner and the greatest thing one can teach is to learn. I became a teacher because of my own passion for learning. This passion is contagious and makes learning with me fun and interesting. I have 15 years of experience teaching students of nearly all ages in both the US and China. I specialize in language, history and mastering fundamentals. I graduated with honors in Religious Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and spent 7 years of my adult life in...

The greatest teacher is a learner and the greatest thing one can teach is to learn. I became a teacher because of my own passion for learning. This passion is contagious and makes learning with me fun and interesting. I have 15 years of experience teaching students of nearly all ages in both the US and China. I specialize in language, history and mastering fundamentals. I graduated with honors in Religious Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and spent 7 years of my adult life in Asia. I speak Mandarin at a near-native level and also some Spanish.

Classes are customized to the individual. I am adaptable to and interested in the passions and needs of my students. My focus is the basics. Mastering fundamental knowledge/concepts is the key to learning. Whether it's English or Math, I endeavor to teach students how to fish rather than to catch fish for them--to develop a mindset and study habits that make them an independent learner.

The student and the teacher together grow the teaching. Let's have a chat and see if we can learn together!

15 years of experience teaching non-native speakers. Have developed a systematic approach to mastering English pronunciation and phonics as well as a step by step approach to mastering word structure, vocabulary and grammar. My classes place a lot of emphasis not only on practical content for the individual learner to master but also on language learning techniques and principles that help a student to learn how to effectively self-study. My classes also include a lot of knowledge about culture, history and regionalisms that are an essential part of the language learning process.

Developed a comprehensive system for learning phonics and spelling patterns.

I take an individualized and practical approach, and always exceed my student’s expectations. I have taught children, celebrities/actors, adults from all sorts of backgrounds. As long as the student is willing to learn, I am highly adaptable.
Religion

Religion

In 2006, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in Religious Studies. My cumulative GPA in Religious Studies was 3.7 and I took over 40 credits thus graduating with Honors in the major. I have taken classes and studied deeply most of the major world religions with a special emphasis on Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism. I also traveled, studied and lived in Asia for a total of 7 years (mostly in China but also in India) visited and stayed in several monasteries and obtained extensive on the ground knowledge about the varieties of religious experience. Religious Studies has been an ongoing study since 2002 when I first attended university and I have accumulated extensive knowledge and communication/teaching abilities related to the subject.

Social Studies

Expert on World History and Global Studies. BA with honors in Religious Studies from UW-Madison. 6 years of international work experience in China, speak fluent Mandarin, well versed in global affairs related to the US, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.
World History

World History

As both a student and teacher of history, I focus on watershed moments and events that defined major changes and movements in culture and society. My goal is to understand how these events and movements of the past shaped the future, even up to the present. I have a particular specialty with Modern World History from the 1800s to the present and Ancient History. I also specialize in US History and Chinese History. I have a BA with Honors in Religious Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and my course work included many historical courses. But my personal study of religion goes much deeper than that coursework. As a writer and actor, to me, history is alive and living, and I make it come alive for my students.

George gave me a lesson about Religion on Buddhism which I found extremely fascinating. He blew my expectations away by coming well prepared with a lesson plan of what he wanted to teach me. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and extremely likable. I strongly recommend George as a tutor for anyone wanting to learn more about Religion. Thanks George!
