I am one of the nation's top non-native speakers of Mandarin, with extensive experience working for Chinese companies like Alibaba, developing content and features for a top-rated Chinese-learning mobile and desktop app, as well as a master's degree in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language from Middlebury College, arguably the top foreign language school in the USA. I can read and write both traditional and simplified characters, have perfect tones, and have taught students from kindergarten to graduate school age.
As someone with an "English-speaking brain," I am acutely aware of the challenges that Americans face on their Chinese-learning journey, and, most importantly, know how to inspire students to become passionate and autonomous learners, just as my mentor, a fellow non-native speaker and Princeton Ph.D, did for me.
I know that becoming fluent in Mandarin can sometimes feel like an impossible task, but if you believe in yourself and are willing to dedicate a bit of time and hard work I can help take you there!
