About
Hello! My name is Crystal and I am a Mandarin Chinese instructor. I have experience teaching a wide range of students, including preschoolers and adult learners. To ensure that each student's unique needs are met, I create personalized learning plans for everyone. With adult learners, we discuss and set achievable goals, whether that includes developing conversational or professional skills. I have also worked with students preparing for HSK and language tests such as AAPPL. In addition, I have designed lesson plans to prepare for standard exams such as AP and SAT Chinese.

I hold a bachelor's degree in teaching Chinese as a second language from National Taiwan Normal University, and I received professional training through a language educator training program at George Mason University. I am also certified by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan to teach Chinese as a second language.

When designing lessons for younger learners, I follow the ACTFL standards commonly adopted by immersion schools. For adult learners, I can tailor lessons to meet your long-term and short-term goals.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Since February, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Crystal and I can't speak highly enough of her! She is easily one of the finest tutors I've ever had. As I'm relatively inexperienced with Mandarin, she took the time to comprehend my learning style, which has helped me connect with the material. In every session, in addition to teaching the language, she educates me on Chinese culture. I'm eagerly anticipating my ongoing collaboration with her! Thank you, Crystal!
