"I never teach my pupils, I only provide the conditions in which they can learn." "Learning is an experience, everything else is just information"
--------Albert Einstein
Teaching is my life. I have been told that I am a “born teacher,” but this is not the case. If anything, I was born a learner, and along the way I learned how to teach.
In fact, my teaching style and techniques evolve daily as I learn through professional development, by listening to my students. To me, a large part of teaching is figuring out how people learn. I am passionate about education because I am a constant learner myself.
I believe that a key element in the foreign language teaching is keeping the students motivated. My personal style of teaching brings enthusiasm, cultural elements, and technology into the classroom to increase learning motivation.
My objective as a teacher is to motivate my students toward a level of independence, where they develop a desire to learn and think for themselves. To reach this end, I rely upon many visual, aural, and kinesthetic activities. I define my approach to teaching foreign language as rationalistic since I encourage critical thinking and a desire among my students to communicate.
I am good at understanding what knowledge my students already have and find a way to tap into that knowledge and build upon it every day. My enthusiastic, cultural-technological approach enables students to acquire learning skills in a manner that keeps them interested and motivated and requires their own critical thinking, which makes their learning independently.
Last but not least, my 10 years of entrepreneurial and business experience in Shanghai have equipped me with comprehensive knowledge and skills in Chinese business practices. This makes teaching Business Mandarin is my unique specialty.
