CUSTOMIZED CHINESE LESSONS FOR ACHIEVING GROWTH IN LEARNING LANGUAGE & CULTURE I was born and raised in Shanghai and I graduated from Saint Olaf College in 2010. I have been working as an entrepreneur, Chinese tutor, language and cultural consultant in the Twin Cities for 9 years. I have worked with students ranging in age from 4 year-old beginners to 75-year-old professionals. I have worked with students from all across the states. I have given Chinese language lessons to more than 800 students from various schools in Minnesota including Saint Paul, Academy, The Blake School, Yinghua Academy, St. Paul Academy, Hamline University, Breck School, University of Minnesota, St. Olaf College, Concordia Language Villages, etc. My adult students range from business leaders at the Apple Store of Minneapolis, to a US diplomat in Taiwan, to English teachers currently working in China, to international lawyers, to a multinational newspaper owner from South Carolina. Through my business, I have also provided cultural and language consulting to various organizations including the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2016 and 2017. Over the past few years, I have developed a consistent and effective method to help students who struggle with character memorization, tone recognition, and sentence building. My Mandarin Chinese programs include face-to-face private Chinese lessons both online and in person. FREE YOUTUBE VIDEO LESSONS Since 2017, I design, write, narrate, produce and update my animated Youtube video series “Chinese Grammar Simplified”. By January 2018, the channel has generated over 283,957 total views, over 786,275 minutes of total watch time, and over 10,500 total subscribers. I encourage you to take advantage of these videos and feel free to share them with friends! PRICING: My one-on-one private program starts at $600 for 10 one-hour sessions. I’m happy to offer a discounted trial lesson at $50 for one hour so you can get a sense of my teaching style and I can learn more about you. I provide and share all my class materials, audio recordings, online flashcards, and class notes via Google Drive for every lesson. There is generally no need for note-taking during the class since I type up all the notes needed -- I want you to spend every minute practicing and improving your skills. TESTIMONIALS ​ "I highly recommend Mr. Wang as a Mandarin Chinese tutor. He is an excellent teacher, being very patient in explaining, and as necessary repeating, the difficult nuances of speaking and reading Mandarin. He is a master in integrating technology into his teaching method. Building vocabulary lists that students can easily review when they are on the internet, allowing them to review at their own convenience. He makes learning enjoyable by integrating Chinese language videos, stories, and news items, as appropriate, to allow the student to listen and try to comprehend different speeds of speaking and slightly different accents of a variety of Mandarin speakers.

My son was very resistant to getting support for Chinese. Luke was able to get him to be cooperative and engaged! He had a great experience with Luke and I am grateful

Luke is an experienced teacher who is able to explain the intricacies of Chinese language, drill you until you speak correctly and remain pleasant/friendly while you are fumbling to learn a difficult language. I recommend him very highly.

Luke is a great teacher. He is able to "read" his student at the start of the lesson and change his lesson plan on the fly. His lessons are varied, creative, and interesting. We consider ourselves lucky to have found him.

Luke is a great mentor and facilitator for learning Mandarin, matching your style of learning - allowing you room to learn and giving individualized challenges. He has excellent recommendations for different resources of extra tools that will help you study. He's super flexible, fun, personable and has been a huge help to me learning Mandarin. Just returning from a trip to China, I was able to use a lot of what I learned from my lessons with Luke to speak, read, listen and understand native speakers.
