Mathematics, Economics, Mandarin Chinese and Test Prep Tutoring
Mathematics is a powerful and versatile subject, applicable across numerous fields. For example, calculus and differentiation are crucial in engineering, while statistics plays a vital role in data science and finance. Economics is broadly divided into microeconomics and macroeconomics, both of which form the foundation of economic theory. Different models operate under various assumptions, leading to distinct outcomes. Understanding these models and their real-world applications makes economics an intriguing and valuable subject! Mandarin Chinese is an incredibly useful language, spoken by approximately 13.8% of the world's population—over a billion people. As a native speaker, I am excited to guide you through the learning process. I am patient and dedicated to helping you gain confidence in speaking, writing, and understanding Mandarin. I've designed this tutoring program to be interactive and adaptable to your preferred learning style—whether you learn best through a Q&A-based approach or hands-on practice during class. You are encouraged to ask questions anytime, and I will also be available after class for further clarifications, with responses guaranteed within 12 hours. Mathematics problems often have multiple solutions—let’s explore them together! Throughout this course, you will develop strong problem-solving skills in mathematics and economics by learning different approaches to tackling questions. For Mandarin Chinese, you will not only master the language but also explore cultural insights and practical applications in real-life situations. With consistent practice and guidance, you'll gain fluency and confidence!

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it. I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature. Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.
