...the last seven years and have extensive personal experiences and interests in the culture. My approach to teaching Mandarin Chinese is to start with what most Chinese teachers skip over: fundamentals. I emphasize the need to teach the fundamentals of grammar to allow an easier, clearer, and more natural progression in learning language and building new skills. I also believe that culture and language are inseparable and am especially interested in Chinese folk opera, history,...

...essays for my peers while in high school, shortening them to fit under the word limit and helping with the brainstorming of ideas. Whenever I tutor, I try to make sure that my student fully understands the concept at hand, so I will make as many attempts as possible to explain the concept in different ways if the student has trouble understanding it. As for my hobbies and interests, swimming is definitely on that list...

We all learn differently. As Albert Einstein said, "Study is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." Thomas Edison said only five percent of people think; another 10 percent think they think; and 85 percent would rather die than think. Let me help you be one of the five.... We all learn differently and at our own pace. Also, we often know more than we think we do. We just need to ask the right questions. Tutoring should be about identifying where a student is having problems, and then helping them devise their own strategies to address those problems and find answers on their own.

Based on my learning and tutoring experience, I believe it is critical to learn and understand all of the concepts of the subject, practice and master the knowledge, and then apply it to real world situations.

I am a determined, responsible tutor that will help students succeed academically. As a student myself until not too long ago, I understand the importance of getting clear instructions and having supportive instructors.... I put myself in the student's shoes. I often ask myself, if I'm the student, what will be the most confusing part?... I ask the student what is bothering him and what he knows about the subject.... I teach the student the strategy of learning. It often involves identifying the problem first and figuring out what to look for.
