I am a 28 year old Chinese woman living in Beijing. I am a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese.

I graduated from ZhengZhou University with a degree in Chinese literature in 2007. I currently work in the field of education in a joint venture Chinese/European school. I am enthusiastic about meeting new people and learning about new cultures as well as sharing my culture with others. I have lived in China, Malaysia and the Philippines.

I am confident I will excel at online teaching because I have a good sense of humor and am able to use humor and a good rapport with students so that they can learn Chinese regardless of their current language level.

My previous teaching experience lets me refine my skills and techniques to keep students both motivated and energetic to study Chinese.

2007...Bachelor Degree in Chinese Linterature ZhengZhou University

2011-2012...Saint Paul American Christian School (Manilla, Phlippines)

2012.......Johor Bahru，Malaysia: I taught small groups of Persian immigrants Chinese because this language is commonly spoken in Malaysia. This was 3 month intensive course.

Online teaching is a 1 to 1 teaching environment. Each student requires a different method of teaching. A teaching approach that is successful with one student may not be effective with another student.

My teaching approach is a highly interactive learning environment with each lesson providing the student with a beginning and end within the time frame of the lesson. My approach is not simply chatting with the student in English and teaching them a few useless Chinese phrases or proverbs. I know what students need and I plan my lessons around this.

I build my lessons for each individual student because everyone has their own interests, needs and expectations. Some Chinese teachers focus on pronunciation and make their students perform endless drills to improve and make the pronunciation perfect. This is not my approach. My approach is to build the student's ability to become conversational in Mandarin.

Regardless of the student's level I am able to improve their Mandarin ability by using well planned lessons, positive reinforcement and humor during the teaching time.

全世界会说汉语的人不止13亿，可是会教汉语的人不到百分之一，而能把汉语教好的人不到千分之一，而我，来自中国北京的、有着6年对外汉语教学经验的Monica，会说汉语，会教汉语，更重要的，把你的汉语教的非常好。

我非常幽默开朗，具有西方幽默。我的学生，说我是他们最好的老师，也是他们最好的朋友。他们喜欢认同我这样的老师。

2007年毕业于郑州大学，毕业后一直在从事对外汉语教学，2011年远赴菲律宾圣保罗美国基督中学任教，2012年游历马来，并任教于新山一所私立小学3个月。

网络教学是1对1教学，它并不是简单的聊天，对话，而是针对每个学生的个性特点设计不同的教学目标，教学思路和方法。同样，我会把我的幽默，创造性的思维淋淋尽致的用在我的教学中，语言的学习也是一种文化的传递。
