About Mary Ann

Bio

Hi! My name is Mary Ann. I enjoy tutoring young people and adults in math and Cantonese or Mandarin Chinese. I'm a fun and effective tutor, trying to make math and Chinese easy to understand and fun to learn.

Hi! My name is Mary Ann. I enjoy tutoring young people and adults in math and Cantonese or Mandarin Chinese. I'm a fun and effective tutor, trying to make math and Chinese easy to understand and fun to learn.

I'm a native Chinese speaker, and I studied Chinese for fifteen years before I moved to the U.S. When I was a student at the University of Washington for my B.A. degree, I worked part-time in many hospitals as a Certified Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese Medical Interpreter. I was also tutoring young kids and adults in math and Chinese. Sometimes I volunteered in the Chinese elderly center teaching ESL (English as a Second Language).

I've been in the U.S. for over fifteen years, so I'm fluent in English. I'm friendly and patient. Although Chinese is a complicated language to speak and write, I always try to make it fun and easy to learn. I tutor math in the same way, trying to make math interesting. If you don't understand something, I can simplify it until you get it. With my experience in teaching math and Chinese, I believe you will enjoy learning any subject with my help.

Thanks in advance for considering me!

Sincerely,

Mary Ann

Supportive and motivational

Mary Ann is the best tutor my son has worked with. She is well trained, intelligent, and inspirational. Mary Ann knows how to motivate and ask for my son's best effort, but she is also patient and understanding of his learning style and needs, Mary Ann is completely reliable and thoroughly professional, and at the same time she is considerate and friendly. My son and I have the utmost respect for Mary Ann and recommend her to the highest degree possible. I am a former school principal and have worked with and evaluated many teachers; both as an educational professional and as a parent I give Mary Ann the highest rating possible -- 100 out of 100.

I Was Apprehensive; Now I'm Not

Mary Ann understands my Geometry demons. She's comfortable moving backwards in order to better move forward. I look forward to our next lesson, and eventually passing some exams.

Helpful and Knowledgeable

My son needed help to prepare for his math test and Mary Ann was able to meet up with him on short notice. She was wonderful and professional. It’s such a relief to find extra help that I couldn’t provide.

A helpful, practical, and kind tutor

Mary Ann was able to help my daughter identify all of the fundamental knowledge she is missing and began addressing those areas. She has given her a lot of practical help and practice. With continued work, I now have hope that my daughter can learn to master math one day. It's been such a struggle for her and I am relieved. I'm so glad we found Mary Ann!

Danika, 1 lesson with Mary Ann

Fantastic Tutor!

When Mary first came to help me, I was doing pretty poorly in Algebra 2. By the end of the year, with her help, my math grade had gone up by two letter grades. Even when I was seriously struggling with a topic, she was always super patient and helped me understand what I was missing. If I could give 6 stars I would! I highly recommend!

Rex, 24 lessons with Mary Ann

Very helpful Tutor!

Mary Ann is very helpful and takes the time to explain things that you need to know. I did more practice in basic Algebra, than what I expected. I look forward to having her from time to time during my studies with math.

Sanaa, 2 lessons with Mary Ann

No longer a math hater!

Thanks to Mary Ann, my daughter in Honors Algebra no longer hates math. Doesn't love it, but so happy she doesn't hate it! Her confidence is back after just a couple of sessions.

Great Tutor

Mary Ann is great with our daughter. She gives her the tools to learn and then do it on her own. She answers emails right away and is very easy to work with.
