I'm a native Chinese speaker, studying in DePaul University, majoring in Chinese teaching of graduate school. I'm a Chinese tutor at Confucius Institute in IN. Also, I have been doing classroom observation at an elementary school. Many reasons of being a would-be educator, i like teaching, like being with children, like environment of school, hope more people know my traditional culture and Chinese.

I love to learn!

1. Experience the joy of making a difference - Through teaching I would get incredible joy in seeing the difference I make as students gain new insights, become more interested in a subject and learn about themselves. Everyday, I mold the future through impacting my students’ views and understandings. I could foster creativity, develop character, give students lenses with which to view the world and provide students with the skills they need to reach their potential and lead productive lives. 2. Have a vocation, not only a job - To the students I interact most during the day of teaching, I am not an employee but a friend, a mentor and a guide to the world. I could make a difference in the world by enabling each of my students to fully maximize their talents, imagination, skills and character. 3. Benefit from variety - Teaching is a job that offers a great deal of variety. Each year, I get to work with a new group of students with unique personalities, experiences and ideas. 4. Be a lifelong learner - I will never learn a topic better than when I start to teach it. Students always ask the most interesting questions, prompting me to dig deeper and learn more about the aspects of different subjects.
