Effective and passionate language tutor with rich experience

I have been teaching Mandarin Chinese to non-native speakers for more than three years, most of my students are Americans and I also had students from Korea, Finland, Sweden, Japan, France and Spain. I worked well with them from different culture and language backgrounds, and also designed unique teaching and learning plans for individuals based on their first language differences with Chinese. With ESL teaching experience since I was in high school, I have my unique way of instruction and teaching methods.

The students are the central of education is my teaching philosophy.

I taught college elementary level Chinese course in State University of New York at Binghamton from September, 2010 to May, 2012. I was responsible for classroom instruction, course preparation, grading and TA supervision. During the last semester(Spring, 2012) I was teaching in SUNY Binghamton, I was the course coordinator, coordinating the elementary Chinese courses, organizing and chairing weekly teachers and TAs meetings.
