Iris
About
I am a native Mandarin and Cantonese speaker with 8 years tutor experience. I tailor my lesson to each student’s need and enjoying sharing Chinese culture with my students.
I grew up in China and moved to the United States when I was 15 years old. I went to local high school and university in Washington so I understand both cultures very well.
I teach students at all levels. Whether you are just starting out or want to practice your Mandarin skill, I am here to guide you. My teaching style focus on the practical language skills and my goal is to help you lean conversational Chinese so that you can communicate with native speakers some day. I often include songs, movies, videos, memes in my teaching.
In my spare time, I have also helped translating movies, videos and papers, from Chinese to English and from English to Chinese.
