Hobbies
I am passionate about Americans studying Chinese language and culture, enabling the West to better access and understand the richness and depth of China's history, culture, and modern economic rise. I have several years of experience teaching English-speakers Chinese, as well as Chinese-speakers English. In the 21st century, no skill in more invaluable than speaking a foreign language--and no language is more important for Westerners to study than Mandarin. I take great pleasure in helping students achieve these goals and hope to serve you in beginning or expanding your Mandarin fluency! I have over three years experience living in China, including with a Chinese family for a year, and have lived in multiple cities throughout the country.
