...weeks on a U.S. Department of State scholarship. My tutoring philosophy is "passion comes first"; I love taking abstract concepts and inspiring students with real-world applications.

...of school. I tutor a range of subjects, but my passion in English and Literature has been the most instrumental in drawing out my students' innate motivation and ambition through the power of storytelling, so I always try to empower my students by giving them greater command of language.

...Madison. Now teaching at a Mandarin Immersion Preschool in Minnetonka. I believe in experiential learning and self-motivation. Thus I individualize each student's learning plan and make learning a fun experience so that the student is motived to learn and explore more.

Hope I can help more children realize how much potential they have once they are pushed a little to be self-motived.

When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy going on long bike rides, sipping tea, watching Chinese movies, and listening to live music.

...method in many ways. For example, I teach first-year Chinese. In my characters (vocabulary) class, I make the characters easy to remember. With the help of CALL, students learned the cultural background of characters, viewed imaginative pictures and identified the original shapes of characters on the power point slides to help them remember those new words in an efficient way while still having fun. When I was teaching non-native students' Chinese culture and grammar, I...
