MA Linguistics 語言系研究生學位 Healthcare Interpreter 醫療口譯員 TESOL/TCFL certified 英漢雙語教師執照 🇵🇸 I donate my proceeds earned on this platform to Palestinian families. 🍉 I’m originally from a Muslim neighborhood in southwest Beijing, but I grew up living in multiple countries. Currently I'm in Tkaronto ("Toronto"), Turtle Island.

In addition to teaching on this platform, I also work as a licensed healthcare interpreter. 我是在中外兩地長大的北京回民,畢業於多倫多大學語言系,研究生學位。除了語言教學外,我也是一名醫療口譯員與研究員。歡迎對語言學及語言習得感興趣的同學與我一起探討這些話題。語言學習與教學對我來說是人生的使命。我希望能透過科學有效的教學方法讓大家愛上語言學習,並與大家在學習語言的道路上一起前行。 ♦ Personalization: Each lesson is planned around your needs because second/heritage language acquisition doesn’t have a “one size fits all” approach. ♦ Availability: Learning happens everywhere, not just in the classroom.

As a doctor who routinely interacts with Mandarin-speaking patients, Siyi/Sayeh has been indispensable in building my skills and confidence. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had, a superb and creative instructor with a mastery of the colloquial and formal language of medical interviews. My initial goal was to get more experience role-playing patient encounters, and she went above and beyond to not only do that in a very realistic way, but to throw curveballs that really tested my skills. She is also a seemingly bottomless pit of language resources, both for medical and everyday conversation. Highly recommend for anyone in the medical field who is looking to (dramatically) improve their skills.
