I have over 25 years of experience studying Mandarin and various aspects of Chinese culture. My undergraduate degree is in Chinese Language and Literature and I have a certificate in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. I work with several students each year and have taught many of the most common Chinese texts at the institutional level from elementary to university.

My love of China extends far beyond the language itself, and I believe that to truly become proficient in a language one must also study the culture. Therefore I teach my students many of the subtle cultural nuances that separate a native speaker from someone who has simply memorized vocabulary lists and set phrases. I look forward to helping each of my students achieve fluency in Mandarin and a deep appreciation for Chinese culture.

I have studied Chinese for 17 years and hold a degree in Chinese language and literature and economics. I run a linguistic services company and language school, and I work with students of all levels. I have worked with elementary school students with no prior Chinese language experience and executives at an advanced language level.

I have seven years of experience tutoring elementary aged students in Chinese. During that time I also taught English to elementary school students abroad.

Amazing tutor!!

Quentin is awesome! He’s helping my son with his Mandarin! My son is learning more words and becoming more consistent/confident with speaking. I appreciate Quentins efforts in the lessons and his love for the language.

Knowledgeable and Confident

Quentin is very knowledgeable and patient with my daughter. She felt she learned a lot and was very impressed with the way he spoke Chinese. He reviewed her assignments, asked her questions and help guide her. Very good session!
