My love for teaching comes from the incredible and inspirational teachers that I had growing up. I have loved teaching all age groups, from children ages 3-18.

We are really happy with the first session and looking forward to working together. Full disclosure: my 6 year old was not going into this with a good attitude. He's really been resistant to the repetitive homework he gets from school. So much so, we were really afraid that learning Mandarin was becoming a completely joyless experience for him, for us. We let him know someone named Connor was going to come help him with Mandarin in a better way than Mommy or Daddy could. He was pretty negative in his attitude. "Mama, I'm going to call Connor stupid!" Yeah.... So, after the first session, he sat down next to me on the sofa and said, "Hey mama! Connor wasn't stupid after all!" Very high praise! We appreciated Connor's candor about the homework and openness to how we can proceed. All in all, we are very optimistic! Thanks Connor!
