Hi, I'm Em! I specialize in immersion based English teaching. Especially, for people who are at a beginner/early intermediate level and want to increase their fluency quickly while enjoying the process. Classes are kept small, at 2-6 people. My method of teaching is immersion heavy and fun. I focus on providing as much comprehensible input as possible in a short amount of time, correcting errors, and helping you stay accountable during your language learning journey. I make it a point that all mistakes are quickly corrected. I also provide private lessons at a higher cost! Feel free to ask about those too.

If you would like to improve your conversational English, I can provide you with valuable opportunities to do so. I will correct your grammar, pronunciation and word choice mistakes. You can benefit from developing a routine, which involves speaking and receiving constructive feedback. I have over ten years experience tutoring UW visiting scholars, IELP and graduate students and Fred Hutch researchers from 27 countries, many of which I have visited. You are welcome to take a free trial lesson. Please contact me at (206) 595-3077 or willctutor@gmail.com

I am a master’s student at the UW and I teach Mandarin Chinese using simplified characters. I have experience teaching Chinese and math to children aged 4–14, as well as teaching Chinese to adults who are passionate about learning the language.

I am a passionate language learner offering tutoring in Chinese, French, and English. I’m a native Chinese speaker. I have completed six French courses at UW, earning a 4.0 in all classes. I believe language learning should be practical, engaging, and confidence-building. My goal is to help students not only understand grammar and vocabulary, but also understand the culture and develop real-world communication skills.

Chinese is my mother language and I worked as a part-time English teacher about 3 years, mostly adults and teenagers,which means that I know deeply about students and can targetedly make plans.

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.

I have been a teacher and tutor of Norwegian since 1994. I grew up bilingual English/Norwegian. I have helped people apply for spots at the University of Oslo Summer School as well as study for tests for work visas and community college student visas.

I am originally Vietnamese and want teach my language (and culture) to other students and makes new friends too. I’m still a freshman so my schedule might need to change a lot throughout the work.

Xin chào! My name is Ellie, and I’m currently a sophomore studying Education, Communities and Organizations with a minor in Informatics. I was born and raised in Vietnam before moving abroad to Seattle to continue my studies. Since I’m a native Vietnamese speaker, have two years of teaching experience, and study pedagogy as an education major, we could explore many different aspects of Vietnamese, all depending on your preference! Together, we can work on everything from phrasing and pronunciation to everyday and professional Vietnamese. We can also explore Vietnamese culture, traditions, and the little details that make the language unique. I always encourage my students to feel relaxed and comfortable during our learning sessions. Please ask questions or share your opinions so we can learn together and have a conversation like friends!
