Learning Mandarin here in the States can be a daunting task for any student.

As a native speaker of English myself I know just how difficult learning Mandarin can be."

"In fact, I grew up learning Spanish as my first language in Lima, Peru. After getting my B.A in Elementary education, I moved to the U.S and have been working with babies, kids, teenagers and adults helping them learn Spanish. I currently teach Pre-K - 8th at a private school and I enjoy every minute of it, especially when they speak Spanish spontaneously. I believe that learning a language takes time and practice, as well as self-motivation and commitment."

I use both analytical as well as graphical methods or a combination of the two as needed to cater to each student. Having both an Engineering and Architecture background, I am able to explain difficult concepts to either a left or right-brained student, verbally or with visual representations." ...
