I am a Chinese Mandarin and Cantonese native speaker who has lived in China for 36 years. I taught Chinese Mandarin to 4-8th graders and adults in New Jersey from 2007 to 2010. While on active duty, I taught Chinese Mandarin to military service members on multiple military bases. Currently, I live in Maryland and continue to teach the Chinese languages. I love teaching children and/or adults interested in Chinese Mandarin / Cantonese and its cultures. My passion for teaching is not only to focus on helping students improve their grades and pass tests but also to introduce a concept of how a foreign language can affect their futures. I enjoy volunteering for events related to Chinese culture or history in my neighborhood or community. In my spare time, I enjoy practicing Chinese calligraphy and playing the Zither, a Chinese 21-string classic instrument that originated in the Warring States Period in the 5th century BC.

I am a native Chinese Mandarin and Cantonese speaker. I have lived in China for 36 years, and I had a bachelor degree in Business Management in China. I was a Chinese Mandarin teacher in an intermediate school in Margate City, NJ in 2010. I had five individual students (age 5, 12, 13, 16 and 18) in Ocean City, NJ from 2007-2010. I also had three students (age 7, 9 and 28) in Tacoma, WA in 2014. I earned my bachelor degree in Intelligence Operations in AMU. I am working on a master degree in Chinese Immersion Education in PSU. My goal is to teach Chinese languages to all ages who are interested in learning Chinese languages and cultures.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I started to learn math in China when I was 3 years old. Math is my best subject from K to college in China. When I took my undergrad and graduate degrees in a different major in the US, my placement test on math is 100. I would love to share my math skills with underage and elementary students and motivate their interest in learning math.

Dedicated, patient and knowledgeable tutor.

Ms. L is very patient and dedicated to working with her students. I could tell from our initial meeting that she loved teaching Chinese. She is very adept at recognizing her student’s problem areas and developing methods to help them improve. My HS son was struggling with Chinese but now has a clearer understanding of the language and stronger study skills to be successful. Ms. L was very instrumental in helping him achieve his success. I definitely would recommend her to other students.

Thank you for the recommendation. Your son is a diligent young man with a clear objective in learning Chinese. It is my honor to be his tutor.

Kind, engaging, and patient Chinese teacher!

Kitty is very friendly and kind. Our 8-year-old daughter (who is taking Chinese lessons with her) likes her. Kitty is open to questions and clear in her explanations. She gives realistic expectations for learning and makes learning fun and engaging. She helps to build a student’s confidence by practicing many examples. Kitty presents material clearly and provides many resources to use after class to practice at home. Overall, we highly recommend Kitty to anyone who wants a high-quality teacher who provides individualized Chinese lessons!

Well-Organized and Helpful Tutor

Kitty has helped me feel more confident in my Cantonese pronunciation, and is teaching me the vocabulary that I know I will use very often. The lesson plans are clear and well-organized, and ensure that I practice a certain amount by the time of the following lesson. I'm excited to learn even more in Cantonese and improve!

Really Great Lesson

Wonderful lesson. The explanation on pronunciation really helps me understand how to move my mouth and tongue correctly. Look forward to learning Cantonese:)
