I obtained a Certificate of Qualification to teach Mandarin Chinese as a foreign language in 2015 issued by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan. I have been teaching Chinese in Taiwan and India to adults and college students from beginners to intermediate levels. I enjoy the interaction with the learners in the class, leading them to creative and independent thinking and working out targeted conversations together. Learning a language is a process of creation that involves not only vocabulary increasing and grammar understanding but also mutually-related cultural elements appreciation.
