Bilingual Teaching (English-Chinese)
Bilingual, I teach Chinese privately to a UC Chinese-language student.

Cultural/Communication Facilitator
For businesses in need a language/cultural facilitator to improve business practice and worker/business communications, I can help with English teaching and company policy education.

Tutoring Experience:

I taught English in South Korea between 2006 and 2008 at an Elementary School; I have tutored English; and I hold a teaching diploma and have briefly taught mathematics in a High School.

Tutoring Approach:

* Chinese/English Teaching and Your Employability
As a non-native speaker, I know exactly what it is like to learn from scratch Mandarin Chinese. I know the challenges and I have the skills and knowledge to help you become a confident, fluent Chinese speaker. As for English, I have the background and insight to improve your (or workers') communication skills and employability.

* Business Practice and Policy and Communication Facilitation
During classes I can communicate business policy and need-to-know information to workers in conformity with your business's needs.

* Add Value to Your Business
When dealing with workers who speak English as a second language, where possible I can work in their language (especially Chinese Mandarin) and bridge the language and cultural gap, thus improving your workers understanding, their social integration, and their application of and motivation to adhere to company policy.

Teaching Style
Working one-on-one or in small groups and at times interactively, I will build up the essential parts of your speaking style, writing, and listening skills, and will adapt to your or your business' needs. I will also give you practical Chinese/English that you can use in everyday life and business.
