"I hold a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Tongji University and a Master’s in TESOL at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. These qualifications have provided me with a deep understanding of critical thinking, language acquisition, and education. I also hold a Shanghai Advanced Interpretation Certificate and have extensive bilingual translation experience, enriching my ability to teach diverse learners effectively.

Over the past five years, I’ve taught students across various ages and educational levels, including:

University-Level Instruction: Taught advanced English, academic writing, and political philosophy at Shanghai International Studies University.

Test Preparation: Prepared high school students for SAT and AP English Language and Composition, focusing on rhetorical analysis, essay writing, and vocabulary building.

K-12 Education: Designed engaging lessons for younger learners using storytelling, games, and interactive activities.

TESOL Practicum: Taught debate and critical thinking, helping students master paraphrasing, quoting, and argumentation.

My student-centered approach includes personalized instruction, interactive learning, and scaffolding to make complex concepts manageable. As a bilingual educator fluent in Mandarin and English, I bring cultural and linguistic awareness to my teaching, using diverse materials to enrich the learning experience.

I am passionate about empowering students to achieve their goals and fostering a love for learning. Whether strengthening foundational skills, preparing for exams, or refining advanced language abilities, I aim to make learning both effective and enjoyable. Let’s work together to achieve your goals and make the process rewarding!" less...
