About Rowan
I'm a native Chinese speaker who is always enthusiasm for Chinese language. I gained Master's Degree in Nanjing University— a university ranked top 10 in China. Years of study has built solid foundation for me.
Furthermore I have abundant experience of teaching. I have taught students of diverse levels-- from beginners and elementary ones to college students and adults, whose ages ranged from 5 to 60. Each of my students enjoyed studying with me. Along my teaching, I kept learning new knowledge and skills. That was the way I kept my lessons valuable.
I began to tutor international students in Chinese during my graduate studies. Busy as I was, I managed to handle study and tutor work efficiently. Coming from other countries of Asia, America and Europe, my students had diverse cultures and languages, different hobbies and personalities. I cherished such experience because not only did I teach them, also I learnt from them. I learnt how different native languages influenced their learning of Chinese; I learnt to accommodate their different cultural backgrounds and needs.
During employment as an editor after graduation, I gained Teaching Certificate and Spoken Chinese Certificate. Besides edit, I gave lessons to students on writing. Writing was one of my favorites, and teaching writing has greatly benefited me in thinking out of the box.
Afterwards I worked as a teacher at Torrance Chinese School in LA. Based on my experience, I have developed a methodology of teaching young beginners—
To arouse their interest, I inserted drawing, role-playing and games amid lessons. To help them boost self confidence, I explained Chinese words bilingually and then decreased English as they made progress. To broaden their horizons, I combined historical and cultural stories with language learning. With all these features, my lessons became great enjoyment to students.
I stress the importance of bases, yet encourage imagination and creation. I am strict yet patient and considerate. I'm here to help you improve your Chinese! Contact me and enjoy learning Chinese with me!

I'd know about the status and goals of the student first. Then I make a specific syllabus of my lessons. During lessons, I make adjustment according to how the student masters knowledge and how she/ he wants the lesson to be. I also make estimate through assignments and tests.
Pose questions to see how the teacher can help you. Communicate with the teacher on your needs and goals.
