I have four years' experience as TA and instructor when lived in Shanghai. I also taught SAT Chinese for many years. Plus, I taught Chinese online with Mandarin pronunciation which had received intense professional training.
Being one of the youngest members of Shanghai Film Critics Society, I have published numerous articles in newspapers and journals. Since 2013, I have been working every year as a curator in LA Art Show which is one of the biggest art events of USA. Moreover, I was also a media producer and business planer.
Years of working experience in a multinational environment entitles me to help you not only learn Chinese, but also, and more importantly, understand the Chinese mindset. Language itself is a key, while the mindset is the spirit to working, doing business and/or living with the Chinese. Weather you are a beginner or experienced with this language, I will CUSTOMIZE my teaching method to help you enjoy the learning process and appreciate Chinese culture.
Each of the following class series includes a series of 7 (1+6) classes. The first class gives me insight about you, your needs and allows me to customize following classes accordingly. On the other hand, you may decide weather to enroll for the rest six classes after the first one. In case you have other needs other than the following, please feel free to talk to me.
