...attending the Beijing Foreign Studies University and Taiwan University. What I love most about tutoring is the unique opportunity that the one-on-one setting provides to ensure that you or your student really masters the content in the lesson in all four aspects of language learning (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing).

Similarly, if you never learned about the Revolutionary War and the creation of the Constitution, then you can't properly learn about US Politics and Government.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, biking, kayaking, racquetball, all Pittsburgh sports, and spending...

Teaching is about taking my own energy, positivity and excitement and sharing it with students. I have taught in high schools, summits from Boston to Beijing and have always found that students are able to learn and grow when they are challenged and excited by those teaching them. I believe that any student who finds a course boring, or impenetrable, simply hasn't found the right teacher yet!
