Hobbies
Me in a nutshell: an interesting and interested cat person. I am a veracious reader, but I am also interested in many things: oil painting, sports (esp. water sports like kayaking), gardening, DJ, getting to know new people, traveling, learning and acquiring cat language, playing video games, learning and experiencing different cultures etc.I do believe any attempt in a new domain further completes my life. I feel thrilled at every new and great idea and often have strong will in implementing them. Everyone wants to be a successful person, and I am no exception, except that I aim to be a fun person at the same time! Chinese is a complex language that can be very challenging for non-Chinese-speaker learners who want to reach advanced level. A professional and fun native Chinese teacher who has rich teaching experience and can communicate native-like in English, however, might be a god-sent helper for sincere Chinese learners. Experience tells me one of the most important requirements for a good Chinese teacher is whether they can explain in English accurately and how to continuously keep students focused, Unfortunately, many people might not be able to do it, leaving their students baffled and bored. Love to teach those who have sincere interest in learning Chinese and Chinese culture! Can offer customized classes based on your plan/learning needs so you can take the most advantage of your learning time! You can email me for further and detailed resume. The first class would be $25 for your purpose of interviewing or to see whether you will enjoy my class. Later on, you can decide whether to continue or not by yourself. : ) (fast fact: almost all the potential students who tried my trial lesson continued their learning with me for at least 3 months).
