Still passionate about teaching Mandarin after 20 years — a teacher who truly loves what she does!

Through years of teaching, I have found that many learners:

• tend to underestimate the importance of listening input

• lack enough and optimal input to reinforce what they have learned

• rarely correct their own errors

• often rely on limited learning strategies

Therefore, I will focus on:

• Abundant input through both listening and reading

• Revisiting practice

• Developing self-correction awareness

• Applying Oxford’s language learning strategies

Most importantly,

I know many secrets to mastering Mandarin and I will reveal them in class!
