...methods of thinking about or attacking a problem than what the student hears from his/her teacher or professor. Sometimes a different voice is all it takes.

...Activity Head at Brewster Day Camp, I’ve learned that listening is just as important in being a good teacher. Each child has a different relationship with language, and improving that relationship is impossible without first understanding it. English isn’t just a subject taught in school; it’s how we access the people and ideas around us....

Whenever I've worked with students in this manner, we've always had a total blast-- it's like a puzzle in a challenging video game, a newly-discovered leitmotif, or even an unexpected formation shift on the soccer pitch. I firmly believe that every student has the potential...

...their strengths and carry that passion over to the Chinese Language. I focus on teaching in an approachable way that makes a language as challenging as Mandarin easy (and, dare I say, FUN) to learn!
