About Kathleen
Hello, my name is Kathleen, and I am a Mandarin Chinese tutor.
I have over 18 years of experience learning, studying, and teaching Mandarin. I have a bachelor's degree in Chinese Language and Anthropology. I am currently in graduate school (Ph.D.). I have lived, worked, and studied throughout China, Taiwan, Mongolia, and Central Asia. I have worked as a Chinese language tutor and a conversational Chinese teacher for over 2 years. I have advanced proficiency in English, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Russian, and Mongolian. I also have working proficiency in Spanish. I speak standard Mandarin and Northeastern Mandarin.
I love to engage students with fun and interactive language lessons filled with cultural immersion and knowledge. My studies and research in anthropology taught me the importance of interacting with culture and philosophy while learning a foreign language.

As a non-native speaker of Chinese, I understand what my students are going through as they learn and progress in Chinese. Through my 18+ years of studying Chinese, I have become very familiar with how to unpack the Chinese language clearly and concisely, as well as the cultural and linguistic idiosyncrasies of the language.
I have also created a fun system for learning Chinese characters through radicals (the building blocks of a character) that I will incorporate into the lessons.
