I am an experienced Chinese language teacher and a native Mandarin Chinese speaker. I currently teach Mandarin at a private school in Louisiana, working with middle and high school students at different proficiency levels, including AP Chinese. I teach speaking, listening, reading, writing, pronunciation, Chinese characters, and Chinese culture. I have also passed the Praxis Chinese (Mandarin): World Language exam.
I also have experience providing one-on-one Mandarin instruction to both students and adult learners. I tailor my lessons to each student’s goals, whether they want to improve conversation and pronunciation, strengthen reading and writing, prepare for school or AP Chinese, or learn Mandarin for work, travel, family communication, or personal interest.
I hold a master’s degree from Cardiff University in the UK and a bachelor’s degree in engineering from China. Having lived, studied, and worked in both Chinese- and English-speaking environments, I understand the challenges English speakers may face when learning Mandarin. My goal is to make Chinese practical, understandable, and enjoyable while helping students build confidence and make steady progress.
