Education
I scored a 6 on my HSK (Mandarin Chinese Proficiency Test) and also hold a Certificate in Advanced Chinese Language from Beijing's Tsinghua University. I earned a bachelor's degree in International Studies (Asian Studies) and Mandarin from the University of New South Wales.
Experience
I have been tutoring Mandarin Chinese and English for the past eight years. My day job requires me to deal with colleagues and clients in China, so my Chinese skills are constantly being reinforced. I also worked for two years in Beijing, allowing me to completely immerse myself in the Chinese language and culture. Learning Chinese can feel daunting if you're a native English speaker. How do tones work? How do you remember all of those characters? What about all of the dialects spoken in China? I grew up in Australia and distinctly remember asking those questions, but now I am fluent in Chinese reading, writing, and listening. The trick is not relying on rote memorization. I will make you a "cheat sheet" of tips, tricks, and hints to help you master the nuances and bones of this complex, diverse language. I have proven experience passing these tips on to students. Whether you are someone studying Mandarin at university to achieve fluency, a student at primary or secondary school, or someone who just wants to learn the nuts and bolts of Mandarin to give you that edge in your business dealings, I am here to help.
