I am a Mandarin Chinese instructor with a PhD in Cultural Studies and university-level teaching experience. I currently teach Beginning Chinese at Christopher Newport University and have also taught courses in Chinese cinema and literature at liberal arts college.
I received my MA from a top university in China, where I developed a deep appreciation for traditional Chinese arts and aesthetics, including painting, calligraphy, and classical music. This background informs my teaching and helps students connect language with broader cultural meaning.
I focus on clear, structured lessons that build practical communication skills. Students actively use the language through guided practice, dialogues, and real-life scenarios. I adapt each lesson to your level and goals, whether you are a beginner, heritage learner, or preparing for exams.
I am patient, supportive, and focused on helping you gain both skill and confidence. I’d be happy to work with you to create a personalized learning plan that fits your needs.
