I am Chinese, but i live in New York for over 15 years. Mandarin is my mother tongue. But, I am fluent in English. I am a Jazz guitarist and composer. I worked with Carnegie Hall for 7 years. With the experience that I had in America, I have deeper understanding of the importance of cultural diversity.
Me as a Teacher
I have been working as a community tutor for the Chinese community for over 15 years. I enjoy spending time and working with my students. Due to my personal experience, I can understand the problems that English as second language speakers would have. It'd be easier for me to have the connection with the students and make the classes comfortable and effective.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to understand before advise. Knowing exactly what my students need and meet them at where they are have made my classes very efficient and well received by the students. The information I provide is practical and interesting since I have a long time of experience of teaching. I have designed different tools for the students to memorize the information as much as they can while we are in the classes. There are friendly quiz and interesting homework for them so that the students could be positively assured and find out where need to be worked on at the same time.
