I grew up in Shanghai, China where I got my undergraduate degree and started tutoring elementary and middle school students in Math. After that, I studied Library and Information Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. When I studied there, I tutored a high school student in Mandarin. I enjoy using stories in Chinese history and folklore while tutoring Mandarin. Because I believe that practice using a foreign language should be fun, I like designing dialogues with different scenarios for the class.
