I work full time and have been living in St. Louis in the state of Missouri since 2014. Before that, I'd lived in Illinois, New Jersey, and New York for years due to school and work. Although my current last name is German due to my marriage, I never forget where I'm from originally and what my heritage means to me. My native language is Mandarin Chinese and I have a strong passion in helping people improve their Chinese language skills. I always believe being able to speak and understand another language opens another door for a person. When I was in graduate school, I worked part-time as a tutor for a US professor who studied Chinese during his spare time. I was delighted to see him improve his Chinese skills! I also tutored several elementary school students in the past. I'd like to help more people improve their Chinese language skills.
