Pro & unconventional University Mandarin Chinese teacher from rural China, Badan village; 10+ years of online and in-person teaching experience with a Master's Degree in Teaching Chinese;

Teaching is like building bridges to connect people of different backgrounds. Come and have fun learning!

Fluent in English, conversational in Spanish, and learning Arabic. I know how difficult it can be to learn a foreign language, and how important it is to find a teacher that understands your needs and give you the support you need.

What is my teaching style&method?

Students say my classes and I:

" fun and professional, divertida, warm and welcoming, teach grammar, culture and colloquial speech in a fun way, apt, patient, encouraging, and able to measure students skill level effectively, organized and knowledgeable, with a good laugh, delivers a safe and comfortable speaking environment, down to earth, genuinely care about my learning, supportive......"

Crazie says:

" You know what make me proud? That you are making progress and I am part of that process. "

I believe that we learn the best when we are happy and having fun so I deliver content that is appropriate to your level, use language that you can understand, and create opportunities for you to experiment with the language and provide instant feedback in a safe and fun environment. In this way, you can relax, keep practicing, and improve without worrying about your performance.

Big words for teaching style:

Communicative Approach, Comprehensible Input, TPRS,

Task-based Instruction, i+1 Scaffolding,

Positive Emotions on Leaning

My own words on teaching style: My core methods now are the communicative approach with comprehensible input using stories appropriate to your level.

I spent 2 years in graduate school reading hundreds if not thousands of papers, journals, and books on foreign language acquisition and my teaching style is always evolving, from those foundations together with my real-world teaching experience.

I want to improve my teaching while you improve your learning!
