I'm an experienced professor offering tutoring services from my office near downtown Greenville, South Carolina or online. I specialize in intermediate and advanced Chinese, English language coaching for speakers of other languages, and writing support. I also tutor students in anthropology and support independent anthropology research projects.
I've taught students of all ages and in all settings, including preschool, elementary, middle and high school, college and adults, and worked with native English speakers and people who have come to the US from other countries.

I quickly assess a student's level, then find ways to challenge them to learn while also making learning fun. I provide crucial, targeted feedback and help motivate students to improve. I also encourage supplemental activities to help students immerse themselves in the topics we explore. The result is engaging sessions that work well for all kinds of learners.

I bring two decades of experiences working with learners who have special needs, including attention issues, executive function challenges, autism, and verbal processing challenges. I use coaching techniques to ensure that students are motivated and rewarded to continue learning, and make sure that learning goals are regularly updated and assessed. I provide feedback at designated intervals so that everyone is aware of progress already made, and feel confident about the process. I look forward to working with you!

Approved Subjects

Anthropology

Anthropology

I have taught Introduction to Anthropology courses, as well as advanced courses like Anthropology of Education, Anthropology of Gender, Anthropology of China, and Visual Anthropology. I have guided over three hundred student research projects. I have also taught students how to apply ethnographic research methods to various topics.
Cooking

Cooking

I specialize in healthy cooking inspired by Middle Eastern, Eastern European and Chinese cuisines. I teach students how to use flavorful ingredients like garlic, ginger, Chinese dark vinegar, and spices to create delicious plant-based meals. Whether cooking for one or cooking for a larger group, I can help you enjoy your own creations! Specialties include roasted vegetables, baked tofu, noodle kugels, and easy weeknight dinners using grains and beans as a canvas. Helping families find healthy meals that all members will enjoy is also a passion of mine.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

One of my favorite ways to support students is to help them prepare for interviews, whether in-person or virtual. I help students develop effective answers to the "Tell me about yourself" question, coach them in Situation-Task-Action-Result responses to situational interviewing techniques, and ask questions that their interviewers are likely to pose. Telling your story in a powerful way is crucial, and practicing with me will help you do that. My clients have successfully gained admission to graduate school, obtained coveted internships, and landed dream jobs after preparing with me.
