👩🏫Hello everyone! My students call me Teacher Lian (liàn laoshi). I have advanced proficiency in both Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese. With a deep love and extensive knowledge of Chinese culture, I'm passionate about sharing it with others.
🇨🇳Born and raised in China, I began my teaching career after earning my degree and teacher certification there. Over the years, I've had the privilege of teaching students of all ages and levels.
📖Moving to the United States presented an exciting opportunity to learn how to teach Chinese to non-native speakers. I completed a rigorous one-year Teaching Chinese as a Second Language (TCSOL) program at Columbia University's Teachers College in 2021, earning my TCSOL certificate.
📚A firm believer in lifelong learning, I continuously strive to improve my teaching methods. I create a fun and engaging learning environment, customizing lesson plans to each student's needs and interests. By incorporating real-life scenarios and cultural context, I make learning Chinese meaningful and rewarding.
