"Experienced college Mandarin teacher (Williams, Hamilton, Skidmore) offers tutoring or lessons for small groups. I'm a native English speaker who learned from scratch, so I understand your learning process better than a native Chinese speaker can and have developed tried and true methods that make sense to American learners. My own spoken Mandarin is beautiful; I can help you perfect your pronunciation and improve your tones. I can help you develop reading and writing skills (simplified or traditional). I can provide references from Chinese pedagogy experts and testimonials from students. I have a Ph.D. in Asian Languages and Cultures: Chinese from the University of Michigan

I welcome students of all ages. My classroom experience has been with college students mainly, a few adults. I also happen to be very good with children. For Chinese families in the U.S., if your children have been resisting Chinese school or haven't been eager to learn to read and write Chinese, consider giving me a try. Remote or in person." less...
