Me as a Teacher
-Having been studying English as my second language since middle school, I can not only empathize with the students for being a second language learner but also be capable of communicating with students in English efficiently.
-Having experience working with both adults and kids from English-spoken countries, I am familiar with the learning traits of a wide range of age groups.
-Having worked in a variety of setups, I am very flexible to deliver lessons in different circumstances.
-Experienced in working with beginners, I can efficiently and effectively help new learners get into the world of Chinese smoothly and confidently.
My lessons & teaching style
-English will be used as the medium language.
-Customized sessions are offered to match your actual level and personal needs.
-Skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing will be fully covered in a balanced way.
-A variety of study tools (digital flashcards, online games, fun videos and quiz) will be utilized.
-Some important features of Chinese culture will be selectively introduced.
-Using the 'immersion method' of language teaching for kids to stimulate their interests and keep them engaged.
-Providing systematic courses for adults to build solid grounding.
'A journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step.'

Not like any other language class! Teresa’s classes are very interactive and entertaining and she always finds a way to keep your interest high and encourages you to get out of your comfort zone. She is a wise and lovely person, and during the classes she would engage in some very interesting conversations about the hottest topics: from history & culture, to fashion & entertainment, business & economy, to modern society and education. Teresa will adapt her class to your style and will give your useful advices and recommendations based on your goals and needs!

Teresa's class always contains a generous helping of culture, history, grammar, usage, and modernisms, mixed together with a dollop of laughter! Gotta' love it!!
