About
Hi, I'm Zilin (Leo)! I tutor Chinese mainly. I was originally born and raised in China and have lived there for 11 years. I currently live in San Francisco as home and Chico for college. My passions a... re becoming a medical worker as a nurse and promoting Chinese culture as a Native Chinese speaker by becoming a tutor! I volunteered in a church for Chinese & English interpretation for a food pantry service that helps many low-income families claim the food they need which I had a wonderful experience of coping with people who have language barriers.
Tutoring is the same as what I want to become as a nurse, a person who is willing to do the best they can to help others overcome difficulties others are facing. Helping others and seeing smiles of happiness is what makes me satisfied and happy deep inside my heart. As a tutor, I would turn my sessions into fun, interesting, and engaging environments for the students to learn. In addition, no matter what background you have doesn't define how you are doing in tutor session and I a tutor will be 100% accepting of anyone that are willing to gain what they want from tutoring.
Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to boost your Chinese level just like a Native speaker!read more
