Teaching through understanding!

Jon C.

Over five years, I’ve worked with various education and consulting companies, helping students in China apply to top universities, including Duke, Penn U, Brown, and Yale.

In China, I experienced how my clients thought and worked, allowing me to tailor their applications to their interests, ranging from Computer Science to Architecture and Psychology. Because their needs varied so much, I taught myself how to learn extremely fast, under high pressured time constraints, while mastering how to get the information I needed to satisfy my client’s concerns. The learning never stopped, especially when I educated parents, who often knew nothing about the process, to make the best possible choice. During this time, I studied how clients from different parts of China communicated and behaved (culture varied so much in these regions) and molded my reports to them in ways they best understood.

This year I moved back to the USA where I want to challenge myself and build increasingly valuable skills. The skills I gained — research, communication, high-speed learning, marketing, networking, and teaching — will no doubt add value to your business. Consequently, I’m comfortable in high stressed environments or even casual ones. I’m eager to learn more about advising and pour my all into skills and learning.

I've taught English for 5 years to students who did not know even one word. But over time I helped them master the language and become great, fluent speakers.
