My name is Clara and I speak both Mandarin and English fluently. I've been an English & Chinese Tutor for 10+ years, SAT & TOEFL Tutor 7+ years. My students cover from English beginners to college students. I'm glad to see that one of my students improved her SAT reading score by 200 (in the November 2015 test) and a junior girl was enrolled by Linden Hall. High school students made their entry into colleges including Northeastern University, George Washington University, NYU, Rutgers and P...
Chinese
As an English major student in the college, I passed the TME 8 (national test for major of English, grade 8) and also acquired the certificate of Mandarin Chinese level B+. I am the winner of many translation and interpretation competitions, as well as Chinese culture contests. I have 3 years of tutoring experience during college, one for Chinese and two for English. Besides tutoring, I also helped a Mandarin Chinese education institution with marketing and promotion.

I’m so glad to have Clara as my tutor. She is not only good at what she teaches, but also patient and nice enough to be your good friend. I should say her teaching methodology, studying material and supplemental information all fit me well. I find it very easy and comfortable to be in her class and learn how to make progress every day with the tips she provides to succeed. I’m so confident in the coming test and I would go back to her for help in the future when needed.

I was struggling with TOEFL and I found Clara. She is bilingual and can easily recognize my advantage and disadvantage I guess because she took the same tests before and because at a similar age she is able to understand my needs in study. She answers all my questions and explains every detail. Now I'm preparing the test with the study goals we made together and I feel like I'm improving everyday. I'm very happy to have an enthusiastic and knowledgable instructor!

Clara is a very helpful tutor in explaining the different sounds and tones I was having difficulty with, and she is a very pleasant teacher to learn from. Knowledgeable and caring.

My daughter had Clara for a reading lesson preparing for SAT. She has brought attention to vocab needed to know and how to understand certain wording and what to look for in choosing a correct answer. She has given a her a good foundation for the Reading part of the SAT. We look forward to the next lesson.
