Yen
Chinese-Mandarin Tutor
Hi! I'm Pin! I'm Taiwanese, from the Republic of China. I have more than 14 years of experience teaching Mandarin at the Folsom Chinese School and in-home tutoring in surrounding communities. I taught the Mandarin Enrichment classes at the Loomis Basin Charter School started in 2012 and Oak Hills Elementary School started in 2014. I am also teaching at the Sacramento Mandarin School. I work with children aged 4 and older as well as adults. I can assist with improving fluency in Mandarin speak...

Our 4 year old can be challenging to engage, but she's been great at keeping her involved and adjusting subject matter to keep her attention. Lots of interesting props and methods utilized.

My 4 year old son had 5 lessons with Yen Pin now and he's made amazing progress with his Pinyin. This was one of my requirements because I know Pinyin is the foundation of learning Mandarin Chinese even though he already speaks fairly fluent Chinese...Yen Pin is very patient with young child and she knows very well of their attention spam. She uses all kinds of interactive "games" and self-developed graphical teaching aids to make a 4 year-old actual sitting in a lesson for a hour and learn a lot with fun; she even teach him Chinese culture topics such as the Moon festival which I was so happy that she even thought about it! She is just an excellent teacher! Thank you Yen Pin!

At first we were unsure if our 3 1/2 year old would be too young to learn mandarin. however, we were put quickly and reassuringly at ease by Yen who bonded with our son and made learning fun immediately. we would hear Yen and our son laughing and involved in an excellent instructional session, which he continues to look forward to. she has been a breath of fresh air! we are delighted.

After a few lessons, Yen Pin had a good assessment of my Mandarin level and has been able to construct challenging lessons that leverage what I know and add a manageable mix of new words and concepts each time. She has also helped me greatly with pronunciation, identifying patterns where I tend to make tone errors so I can be conscious and correct them.
