Growing up in a bicultural family and attending high school in Tianjin, China not only allowed me to become fluent in Mandarin but also instilled in me a passion for Chinese language and culture that I am eager to share with my students. My own experiences of learning how to read and write Chinese have given me a valuable perspective and skill set that will greatly contribute to my abilities as a tutor. I received my MS Physiology degree from Georgetown University and my undergraduate degree in Behavioral Neuroscience from Lehigh University, where I was afforded the opportunity to take graduate-level classes in Chinese literature. Having received a score of 5 in AP Chinese, taking advanced language courses, serving as a teacher’s assistant, as well as providing professional translation and interpretation services for a company in Tianjin, I possess the relevant background and experience to teach students of all skill levels and learning goals.
