Chinese Consultant

I am a Permanent Member of the Chinese Language Teachers Association of California. I have been teaching Mandarin Chinese at American higher education Institutes for over seven years.

As a Team Leader, I have administered and managed the Mandarin Chinese program for serveral teams. A typical day of mine involves planning and preparing weekly schedules (30 classes) and objectives for my team (normally consists of six teachers and 30 students), performing coordination and quality control of designing supplementary materials and lesson tests, as well as reviewing students performance and counseling them. I have also managed the “special assistance” program for different classes in the past few years.

I would like to share with you my favoriate quotes that have been guiding me in teaching.

• "The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery."
  --Mark Van Doren

• "The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth."
  --Dan Rather

• "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires."
  --William Arthur Ward

• "One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child."
  --Carl Jung
