bilingual teacher with two M.A.s in English from top universities

Mengnan S.

Hello there, I'm originally from China.
Got my B.A. and M.A. in English both from top Chinese colleges (Sun Yat-Sen University and Peking University).
Came to the United States 4 years ago (2021) for PhD studies at Washington University in St. Louis.
Quit PhD after 4 years (but did get another M.A.!) and became a middle and high school English teacher in St. Louis.
Had to quit teaching job after 1 year because work permit was expiring.
Have just obtained a new work permit, but as the new school year has already started it's hard for me to find another teaching job. So, I'm here!

My teaching experience:
1 year of teaching middle and high school English (student age 13-18) (American students) (secondary school small classroom setting; 6-13 students in a classroom)
1 year of teaching College Writing (student age: 18-19) (American students) (Higher-ed small classroom setting; 13-14 students in a class)
1 year of teaching TOEFL and TOEFL Junior (student age: 14-18) (Chinese students) (one-on-one or in a small classroom of up to 3 students)
1-1.5 years all combined of Chinese tutoring: tutored a Korean professor and a French student (both intermediary level and using a textbook; each for one semester); taught 11 UCLA students beginner-level Chinese for 2 months (1 hour per week; classroom setting)

My professional experience:
3 years of college counselor experience. If you need help with your college application, esp. on essay revision, I'm here to help!
