Hello! I'm Dr. Janet W., a passionate Chinese educator with over 25 years of teaching experience and nearly two decades teaching at one of the top public high schools in Illinois.
I hold a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics and currently teach AP Chinese and Heritage Chinese. I have served as an AP Chinese Reader for 13 years and as an AP Table Leader for 6 years, helping score thousands of AP exams. This experience gives me unique insight into what students need to succeed on the AP Chinese exam.
Beyond the classroom, I have presented at national and regional language conferences, including ACTFL, ICTFL, and CSCTFL, and I enjoy helping both students and teachers become more confident language learners.
Whether you are preparing for the AP Chinese exam, taking Chinese in high school or college, learning Chinese for work or travel, or simply interested in the language and culture, I tailor each lesson to your goals and learning style.
My lessons emphasize real communication, cultural understanding, and practical strategies that build lasting confidence. I believe learning should be engaging, encouraging, and enjoyable.
I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!
