Hi there, I'm Rae, a dedicated Chinese language teacher and an education development coach with a strong academic background and extensive teaching experience.
I was born and raised in China and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration from a top 10 Chinese university. I furthered my education by earning a Master of Public Administration from Columbia University.
I have substantial one-on-one tutoring experience with international students in China, where I have successfully helped them achieve their language goals. Additionally, I served as a part-time instructor at Tsinghua International School, teaching Chinese to elementary school students in a 20-student classroom setting. My teaching philosophy centers on creating personalized learning plans tailored to each student's background and objectives. I encourage students to come to class with prepared questions, which we address and practice together, fostering a collaborative and interactive learning environment.
Beyond Chinese language instruction, I offer comprehensive admissions counseling for prospective students aiming for top colleges and graduate schools, especially in fields like Political Science, International Relations, and Social Sciences. Having received 4 offers from four Ivy League schools and recently graduated from Columbia University, I understand the nuances of the application process and am passionate about helping students craft compelling applications. I strive to create personalized plans that highlight each student's unique story and aspirations.
I welcome students of all ages, from children and teenagers to college students and professionals, at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of Chinese proficiency. Additionally, I provide guidance for students eager to join competitive and top-tier colleges and graduate schools in the U.S. and other countries. Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions! I look forward to starting this educational journey with you.
