About
Hi! My name is Sisi, and I'm a Mandarin tutor. In fact, I speak Mandarin, Japanese, and English because I, too, love to learn foreign languages; so if you want to take a break and pick up some side sk... ills, you're welcome to talk in other languages with me too!
I started to love teaching when I first volunteered in Thailand as a Chinese mentor. How my students developed an interest in a foreign language amazed me. After that, I taught language courses in Cambodia and took an Education class in college. My tutoring philosophy is that I believe in all students' potential. I'm open to diverse opinions and value teamwork. And I look forward to learn something from you too!read more
