"I speak Chinese-Mandarin fluently. I read and write Chinese characters and Pinyin.

I have an M.A. in Chinese language and linguistics. I have been speaking Mandarin and reading and writing Chinese in both social and professional situations for more than fifty years. I have lived in Taiwan and traveled to China.

For the last 15 years I have been tutoring Chinese to all age groups age groups at all levels--beginning, intermediate and advanced--to speak and understand Mandarin and to read and write Chinese characters (simplified or traditional)."
