"Two years experience teaching ESL classes in China. I speak HSK 3 level Chinese. 1 year experience at Boys & Girls Club assisting kids with homework. I love walking alongside students as they try it on their own, helping them discover the answer for themselves. I'm an avid ultimate frisbee player who can't wait to get back on the field (post-covid). I love art, writing, and solving puzzles.

My experience at Boys & Girls Club in Seattle, Washington has taught me what kids need in terms of guidance and direction. I love to see when a child finally gets it! There was a boy that I worked with who had a great imagination, but was in the 5th grade and still didn't know how to read. He was very stubborn about it, so I made a deal with him 15 minutes of play in exchange for him reading a 10 page book. We haggled a bit and then he agreed!

I am a certified TESOL teacher with two years of experiences living and teaching in Zhengzhou, China. I am a published poet and aspiring author, who won a writing county-wide writing competition in high school and studied creative writing in college.

In light of all that is happening with COVID-19, I know that many families are under extra stress. I hope that my tutoring services can provide some assistance to struggling families and can help fill in the gap where online group learning just isn't cutting it. Send me a message and let's arrange for a chat!" less...
