305 Mandarin LLC

Introduction: Hi everyone, my name is Yi (It pronounces like the letter “E”, and means “Art” in Chinese). I am a native mandarin speaker born and raised in China, as well as a proud first generation immigrant to the USA. I came to Miami 7 years and 11 days ago with a scholarship. After graduating with a Master’s degree in Engineering, I worked my way up in male dominated industries: Supply Chain and IT. From elementary school through college, I have placed first in several speech and writing competitions. In 2012, I was awarded the China National Scholarship, which is only awarded to the top 0.2% students in the nation. During my time in school, I had been voluntarily tutoring friends and family members. Even though I pursued a different career path, I always possessed a passion for teaching. Helping my students realize their potential and achieve their goals makes me so happy! I learned English in the US, and I have been learning Spanish to be able to communicate with my mother-in-law. Being a students myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. To me, the most important things are to make the learning experience applicable, rewarding, and most important, fun! I firmly believe that everyone's learning style is different. I personally assess each student, and create unique materials and content tailored for them. When I am not working, I enjoy singing, dancing, shooting my recurve bow, and playing instruments. I love integrating art into my classes.
