Experience
Being a teacher has always been my ideal choice of occupation and what I'm train to become. And it had already proven to be something I'm most good at due to years of tutoring experience. Why do I want to be a tutor? Being a tutor enables me to continue using the knowledge and skills I spent many years acquiring. Being a tutor also enables me to use my subject expertise and creativity to excite enthusiasm and understanding in my students and thus making it an uniquely challenging but immensely rewarding job role. As the very nature of tuition means that you are constantly in dialogue with your students, being a tutor really develops my interpersonal skills. But most importantly, I get to cultivate strong friendship ties with my students which is consistent with my lifelong goal and self-realizing demands-to make friends with people from all over the world and embrace cultural blend. Why do I think I can be a good Mandrin or linguitics teacher? Language-wise, I was born and raised in China and have been a fluent Chinese speaker for 26 years. A full Asian I guess haha. And from learning from me, u don't have to worry about the accuracy of pronunciation, the tone and intonation. I always make sure I give u the most idiomatic presentation of Mandrin. I'm good at dialects and accents too haha. If u r interested I could show u too. Pedagogy-wise, I'm a double major of international Chinese and English education and have acquired solid linguitic and pedagogical skills. Im a certified teacher in China and I'm thinking to reassess my certification in USA. Years of tutoring experience also make me confident in language teaching. Relevant classes I have taken from university include:spoken and written Chinese, crosscultural communication, China paranoma, Traditional Chinese arts and skills, contrasts analysis of Chinese and western culture, Case study of Chinese language class, Chinese literature, Chinese to English translation, general linguitics, second language acquisition theory, teacher's professional development, teacher's teaching concepts, teacher's etiquette.

Hobbies
enjoy singing and definitely a bathroom singer cause of the magic audio-effect of the echoes lol. And I play very good guzheng which as some of u might know one of the most representative traditional music instrument of China. It's really beautiful and I love it so much...thanks for my mom lol she pushed me to learn it since I was 6. Although It doesn't lead me to anywhere, I still have fun playing it and I find myself really attractive when I'm engaged in playing cause u really have to be 100% focused and I think that's what makes a woman beautiful.
