The process of learning Mandarin is a lifelong journey that should be enjoyed every step of the way.
I believe in:
children's natural curiosity and commitment towards learning.
tailored approaches to each child's individual interests.

This service is designed for children enrolled in Mandarin Immersion schools who require additional support to master their schoolwork. It includes both Mandarin language instruction and tutoring tailored to the school curriculum.
Mandarin Instruction for Children Not Enrolled in Mandarin Immersion School:
For children who are not currently attending a Mandarin school, I offer a customized curriculum designed to develop their Mandarin language skills. Typically, students work with me for 1.5 hours per week, with an optional additional 1.5 hours per week dedicated to homework and practice.
