I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

Hello all,

I'm happy to help you with your journey into Mandarin Chinese and the culture of the country.

I lived in China for 11 years, one year in Xi'an and 10 years in Shanghai. I didn't know any of the language before I arrived in China, but it was my goal with traveling there to work and study. I ended up taking the HSK 3, HSK 4, and HSK 5 tests over the years and I worked as an English teacher teaching business professionals and giving company training. I really value the time I spent there; China is an interesting place.

I am now in the U.S. with my wife, who is Chinese. I look forward to meeting you all and hope to help you navigate the difficulties of the language and the culture. Have a great day.

Hobbies

I like learning about language and culture and how the world works in general. I'm a prolific reader. I like cooking (or trying to cook) all types of food. I also like to exercise and used to play sports for fun when I was younger. We live in Florida, so in our free time we like going to the beach or a forest to enjoy the outdoors.
