About me:
My name is Ting. I was born in the U.S. but lived in several different countries when I was a kid. English, Mandarin and Taiwanese are my mother tongues. I can also speak German at a conversational level and understand basic Japanese. I have a degree in Psychology. Some of my hobbies include reading, watching movies and documentaries, baking and traveling. Having discussions about cultures, human rights, psychology and current events is also something I enjoy doing. I'm into anime, manga and video games too;)
Me as a teacher:
I have been working as a freelance translator for 2 years and as a private language tutor for about 4 years. I teach English, Mandarin and Taiwanese. As a teacher, I'm patient, friendly, open-minded and culturally aware. I am also a language learner myself so I can understand the struggle. I always do my best to make my students feel relaxed and confident when speaking in their target language. Questions and mistakes are welcome in my class!
My Lessons:
What I've learned from my experience is that there is no one-size-fits-all in language learning, so I always tailor my lessons to my student's need. All of my lessons are conversation-based, which means there will be a lot of listening and speaking practices. Because these tend to be the areas that learners have the most trouble in. However, we can also work on things like reading comprehension or vocabulary expansion if needed.
*Please book an orientation session with me if this is your first time taking lessons with me. We will get to know each other a bit more and discuss your level and learning goals together.
