About Me

When I lived in Taiwan I had to teach English to students and the thought that kept occurring to me is that: English is way harder than Mandarin! I mean sure ,they have tones and characters. but their grammar NEVER CHANGES (Sooooo nice) In Mandarin there is no "i before e exept after c" nonsense. That's one of the many beauties of the Chinese language it's much more direct than English. You're probably thinking . yeahh....but tones and characters is why mandarin is hard. What if I told you there are little hacks that make learning the material way easier. If we work together I will for sure let you know about them! So much easier than rote memorization! But what if school isn't your thing? That you are a slow learner? Here's the great part, That's what I thought about myself!s I barely graduated high school and now I'm studying to be a Professor of Asian languages at the hardest school in my home state ( a school that happens to have one of the top language programs in the United States.) What Changed? I started to learn on my own terms. So let me help you break your labels if that's the case! Let me and help you get a good score on the quiz if that's all you care about. WHATEVER it is, I want to hit YOUR goals! Because I know I can help you do that with Chinese! Can't wait to work with you!ps I hope you don't mind getting a Taiwanese accent because that's what I have .

Q&A with Adam

That everyone is smart, period! The trick to success is that they learn according to the style that best fits them. How can you help a student become an independent learner? Find out what their own personal goals are, and make detailed doable systematic plans that can help them hit those goals. The more they hit the goals with me, the more they will want to hit goals on their own. How would you help a student stay motivated?
