In today's increasingly global society, the ability to communicate efficiently is more important than ever. Mandarin is the single most spoken language in the world, not only among China's 1.6 billion people, but can be found in even the small corners of the world via Chinese who have left home to open businesses in other nations. Chinese restaurants are ubiquitous in every nation on earth, and there are Chinese-speaking people in every profession. To be able to speak Mandarin understandably is a skill that can benefit any individual in too many areas to list.Speaking Mandarin is not as simple as taking Chinese language courses. Written Mandarin is 'formal', and a stilted way of talking. As a single syllable language, where all words are differentiated by 'tones', incorrect pronunciation of those tones can lead to small, and large, communication misunderstandings.Conversational Mandarin is different from written Mandarin. The only way to learn, is to actually do it. Not one word at a time, but one sentence, one paragraph at a time. This not only provides the words and the correct grammatical structure, it is also easier to remember, because you have a context for those random sounds. Using a language makes you more confident of your speaking skills, and makes further learning that much easier.I am a native Chinese speaker, with no accent in either English or Chinese. I learned both languages simultaneously. I continually spoke/speak Mandarin at home, and of course, English everywhere else. This ensures that my ability to speak, as vocabulary and pronunciation do not change over time. To this day, my mom reinforces my language skills by enforcing the rule that if I want to communicate with her, I will speak in Mandarin only! I love talking to my mom, and we talk every single day. My mom was a journalist in Taiwan before moving to the US, her Mandarin diction is the standard which newscasters in China and Taiwan still follow.My degree is from Georgetown University, School of Foreign Service. My Major was International Politics, Law and Organization (the same degree as Bill Clinton's). This gives me a foundation in understanding not only language, but its usage and application in context. I am well aware of the difference between 'learning' a language, and 'communicating' in a language. I took 5 years of German in High School, scored a 90 on my AATG Language Proficiency test, which is 'native speaker' level German. It was painful for me to have a casual conversation with a German speaker, because I had insufficient practical and casual speaking practice. Over the years, this early deficiency made me hesitant to practice and I eventually lost motivation to keep up with it. We typically learn languages out of context for their common usage, and this is where a tutor can help. Use it or lose it. The more comfortable you are using it, the more likely you will.Currently, I am a licensed Florida real estate agent. I enjoy helping students with mandarin because I believe that better communication with other cultures benefits everyone, and my own children are now college aged. If you took the time to learn mandarin, I can probably help you reinforce it enough that you will always have a functional base to expand on.I will first evaluate what the student wants to accomplish. Do you wish to learn Mandarin for travel? For negotiating business deals? To understand the culture better, or work with colleagues in the medical, archeological, scientific, engineering professions? (for this, I will need a list of specific terminology used in your profession to review). I can work up a tutoring plan that is tailored for that specific students and their needs, after evaluating in a few sessions exactly where your specific deficiencies are.After every session, my student should walk away with more language confidence, and a very specific verbal response set for a particular purpose.I do not teach written Chinese characters. I only cover verbal pronunciation, correct conversational form, both formal and informal. The only written form I would go over is the Hanyu Pinyin system (roman alphabetized written form). In many major cities in China and Taiwan, many street signs and businesses use pinyin spelled out, so learning pinyin can be more than just a helpful phonetic/memory exercise.I request that all students have already taken some Chinese, so it is not entirely new, and we are working on being able to converse understandably for your specific needs. How long this process takes is up to you, based on how quickly you learn, your focus and dedication, and how much effort you spend reviewing and practicing what you have learned. I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm an undergraduate student at Cornell University. I'm currently home for the summer, so I will be in the DMV area until September 2017. I have two years of experience in private tutoring, and have tutored elementary, middle and high schoolers, as well as adults. I have tutored algebra, geometry, Common Core, and French. I truly believe that each student's learning style is unique and rest assured that I will cater to your learning needs and get you the best results.

During my time in Binghamton University, I decided to get involved with the campus community and joined PUGS (Program for Undergraduate Guidance). I was paired up with underclassmen who were in the same major (Computer Science) or had similar career goals. This program aimed to be professional while creating a friendly relationship between the mentors and students. I provided answers and guidance to the students who shared my major or career goals. I also liked to help my fellow classmates whenever they had questions about their work or projects. I like to help out as much as possible because I enjoy helping others and I too receive experience.

Master's in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language from Yunnan University, China. Native Chinese speaker currently living in the U.S.I have been teaching Mandarin Chinese since 2011, and have had students from all ages and levels. I am familiar with different approaches and I will always adjust my teaching methods according to your level, pace and style so that you will be able to have perfect pronunciation and grammar. I hope to share my passion with you!

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.In terms of tutoring style, I like use examples and explanations, practice problems, short-term and long-term scheduling, and positive feedback to achieve results with my students. I find real-world examples are often useful in explaining difficult concepts and restoring interest in a subject. At times I too struggled with science and know how important it is to stay motivated in order to succeed.In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering, listening to and performing music (jazz and classical/choral), swimming, and hip-hop dance.

I am a student at Rutgers College of Engineering in 2023. My major is Computer Engineering. The current GPA is 4.0/4.0 with 3 AP course credits.I have 3 years of face-to-face tutoring experience. I have worked as an after-school tutor and teaching assistant in school. I also worked as a student tutor and volunteer in the library during college. I am good at learning to use new software technology and new media such as Zoom or WebEx. I am also a person who likes to help others and communicate with others. I have participated in the robotic club and won the team award as a member of the group. I also won awards in my orchestra.For after-school tutoring, I think I have a solid grasp of knowledge, and I like to analyze experiences and I have my own examination skills. The students that I tutored have at least one letter grade improvement.Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.

I have obtained my BA degree from Johns Hopkins University with a major in public health and minor in psychology. I am currently working towards my master's degree in Environmental Health and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health and anticipate to graduate in May, 2024. I have had a lot of tutoring experiences since 2017 and have tutored at Kumon, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore city Schools, and Varsity Tutors. I tutor various subjects such as Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, Geometry, ACT, SAT, and many more. I also have experience working with various age groups ranging from 5-18. I believe in an active learning style and think that the best way to learn is through hands-on experience.

My aim as a tutor is to help students to achieve their personal potential so that they feel confident with the subject material and learn skills that help them to learn independently through their future studies.

No subject, no test, and no question is bigger than you. By the end of our time together, I hope to make you see that my only job was really just to make you see--you really had it in you, all along.If there's any subject in which you truly believe you suck--that you're just the worst, and that nothing will ever help you improve--then don't you dare give up until you've given me a call! I'm a writer, but I love numbers, and nothing makes me more proud than helping students overcome their biggest challenges. I've scored near-perfect on both standardized tests, and I've been helping students understand how to improve their own scores ever since. I'm also capable of tutoring advanced Music Theory topics, as well as Spanish and Mandarin Chinese

I enjoy watching movies, horseback riding, traveling and reading. I have tutored people in English and Mandarin Chinese. For me, language is not just a string of words but behind it is a group of people who share similar mindset and values. I am fluent in both Chinese and English. I look forward to teaching people who are interested in learning about this beautiful language and the profound culture behind it.
