Introduction
I am currently attending New York University (NYU) where I am majoring in Mandarin and Biology. I am also on the Pre-med track. I love wrestling, math, Mandarin, and science. I have a pet chinchilla named Henry Junior and enjoy playing video games and using my camera during my spare time. I'm good with kids, and I'm also enrolled in after-school STEM programs. I have 16 years of Chinese immersion education. Since the age of 2, I have been mastering the skill of speaking the language of Mandarin. I began my immersion journey at the International School of the Peninsula in Palo Alto where I learned how to speak, read, write, and perform in Chinese plays. I went on two foreign exchange trips to Hangzhou, China, and Taichung in Taiwan. There I lived with host families, went to school with them, and enjoyed learning about their everyday life. My experience taught me that learning in a classroom is one lesson, but learning in the real world teaches you even more important skills. My journey with learning math began at around age five, where I enjoyed learning about the fundamentals of time and the number of seconds in one year. I could not tell you why. Fast forward a few years, and I began taking courses at Russian School of Math and in school. I did 8 years of Russian math and took courses up until Calculus AB, and did the same at my high school. I find math to be the most fundamental unit of our everyday lives, and that is exactly why we should understand it together. I hope my story inspired you to learn math or Mandarin, and together we can begin our journeys. 希望我的故事启发了你愿意开始你自己的旅行。希望我能做你的导师! -Weston Tutoring services: * Mandarin language fundamentals * Culture: food, fun, art, music * China or Taiwan trip preparations * Math Tutoring, including: Algebra, Geometry, Algebra-2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus.

Honestly, Weston really helped me develop the fundamentals for Mandarin which is a really important step to learning any language. He teaches in a way that is clear and simple to understand. While I started learning Mandarin only in high school, over the time we have known each other, he has selflessly dedicated countless hours to helping me improve with my character recognition, writing, and reading comprehension. His way of approaching difficult topics are impressive as he employs visual, auditory, and several other ways of teaching. In doing so, he adapts his teaching methods to better match his students difficulties. Overall I would highly recommend Weston as a Mandarin tutor as he helped me pass all three years of high school Mandarin (Mandarin 1-3 honors) with an A. Weston was a great tutor to work with over the many years I knew him l, and hopefully you will find him as helpful, friendly, and responsible as I have.
