Mandarin Super Fun
About
I took teaching Mandarin as my dream since 2009 when I was in Linguistics grad school. I have been a Chinese test researcher, learning material editor, translator, and Mandarin teacher during these 9 years. I have experience in teaching Mandarin as a foreign language for 3 years. And I taught K-12 students and adults.
As a native speaker of Mandarin, I know both traditional and simplified Chinese. I like to make learning fun and practical, so I cover language grammar and Chinese culture almost every class. We could also customize the class into what you need. I hope you would come and have fun with me.
