I have a bachelor's degree of Chinese Language and Literature from Beijing Language and Culture University and a Master degree of Linguistic (Teaching Chinese as Second Language) from Beijing Normal University. I had worked as a language instructor in college for over ten years. My students are from all over the world. If you want to improve your Chinese language skills, speaking, reading or writing from beginning to advanced level, please contact me. I was certified as an advanced level instructor by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China.
I taught AP Chinese & IB Chinese in Oxford High School.
I have tutored students with a wide group aging from 10s to 50s. If you have special needs like assignments, essay writing, HSK test preparation, pronunciation correction, I can help you with that. I had worked with younger kids in Bilingual school for two years as well in the US. If you have couple young kids from 4 to 8, I would like to tutor as well, but I would not do babysitting.
As a professional and experienced teacher, I can tell the students language proficiency and diagnose the language issues immediately. Also I can take various strategies coaching them to improve their language skill efficiently. As a lifelong language leaner and instructor, not only I teach them the language itself, but also I train them self-teaching.
My passion is to helping people achieve their goals. I enjoy sharing interesting experience and ideas with friends and help friends from all over the world. Being an open-minded person and lifelong learner, I believe every dream is unique. Tell me what's yours. Let's work on that and I believe we can make it.

Well trained and very experienced Chinese teacher!

My son had taken AP Chinese prep lessons with Ellen and got 5 on his first try. Ellen tailored her teaching emphasized on my son's weakness, speaking and writing, which is proven as the very efficient way to help my son improve his score. Thank you very much, Ellen!

You're very welcome. Maxwell puts a lot of effort on it, and he deserves a FIVE. I enjoyed the time of working with him.

IB Exam Prep for Chinese

We are well into our third year with Ellen as the tutor for our high school daughter. IB Chinese exam is next week, and then off to college and more Chinese classes and hopefully more help from Ellen! You can’t go wrong with her as your tutor.

IB Exam Prep for Chinese

Ellen is helping my daughter prepare for her oral IB exam We have been working with her closely for two years and she has a strong sense of what my daughter needs to do to succeed, and has helped her gain confidence through lessons, conversations, and practice. We could not recommend more highly. She is an excellent teacher and genuinely nice person. My daughter just had the exam and she was on cloud 9 because she felt so prepared. Thank you Ellen!!!

Ellen is the best Chinese language tutor!

We have referred Ellen to our friends based on our experience having her tutor our daughter in IB Chinese during high school. She is very reliable, patient, and organized in her approach to each lesson. Ellen also creates a good bond with her students that reinforces the desire to learn.

Ellen is an amazing Chinese tutor

Two years of lessons with Ellen and we couldn’t be happier. She is an excellent teacher and good mentor for my high school senior daughter. We are very lucky to have found her to help with IB Chinese classes. She gives that extra push that helps my daughter in a very challenging class.

Back in the saddle

Ellen continues to help my daughter in her Chinese IB class. This is now her senior year of high school and we have been working with Ellen for more than two years. She builds a strong rapport with her students and customizes each lesson to maximize its impact.

Great teacher with a great rapport

My daughter has been learning a lot from Ellen, who helps with her IB Chinese lessons. Ellen does a great job of structuring the lesson, giving feedback, and identifying areas to focus on. She adjusts the lesson to meet her needs, and is flexible in scheduling. We are very thankful to be able to work with her.
