Teach: Mandarin |
Fee: $19/hr
I am intrinsically motivated to teach and am deeply passionate about Mandarin Chinese, both as a profession and as a personal interest. I can speak and understand English at a functional level. I studied most of my English in college and also completed a summer study program in the United States. I have taught students from diverse linguistic backgrounds with a variety of English accents. In my teaching practice, I prefer to use Mandarin as much as possible, even with beginners, by employing simple vocabulary to promote comprehension and build confidence. For advanced learners, I incorporate slang to help them speak more authentically. I encourage students to speak freely, even when their language production is grammatically inaccurate, and I provide constructive feedback to support their progress. For younger learners, I use visual aids, toys, and puppets to capture their attention. My lessons are highly interactive and participatory, while also allowing students time to become comfortable before actively contributing. I strongly believe that learners become effective communicators through active communication with both teachers and peers. I have been teaching Chinese for just under five years, beginning during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was born and raised in a country where Chinese is an official language and grew up in a predominantly Chinese-speaking environment. Most importantly, I have passed the written examination for the CTCSOL (Certificate for Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages) and am applying for an interview. I also have a strong background in Chinese literature, poetry, and linguistics. I am a patient teacher and understand the challenges involved in acquiring a second language.

I am the president of the Han Chinese Culture Association at the University of Washington, with a strong background in Chinese literature. I can support students who wish to gain a systematic introductory understanding of traditional Chinese culture and the Chinese language. I excel at analyzing the structure and origins of the Chinese language and complement this with explanations of its cultural connotations, making it easier for students to remember and understand.
