Ich als Lehrkraft
I had been a high school teacher teaching Chinese literature and language for 23 years in China.
I taught the Chinese language in a Chinese Christian school every Sunday afternoon for four years in the USA. I taught multi-level students.
I taught Chinese in public schools and a charter school in the USA for two years with multiple level students.
I currently taught the Chinese Immersion class in a public school in the USA.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I focus on the students’ real needs and interests in the real world.
I can flexibly customize the lesson to meet students’ needs.
Excellent, as always! In addition to language teaching, I particularly benefit from her deep understanding of the culture, literature, and philosophy. This is essential for teaching how to express complex ideas in Chinese, as many times direct translation does not communicate the whole meaning.

Really excellent class. I was trying to express some complex ideas, and Skyly 老师 not only helped me with the language, but also with changing the entire phrasing so that it would be more understandable to a native Chinese speaker. Many thanks for a great class!

Absolutely wonderful class. Skyly老师 has a way of not only correcting the language for vocabulary/grammatical mistakes, but also changing the entire way of expressing the idea to better fit Chinese culture. This is especially important when trying to convey complex topics. Very much appreciated--looking forward to next class!!
