Certified teacher with 7 years teaching experience in China and the US
I am a life long learner who enjoys learning all sorts of different things, right now I am learning to play the piano and Gu Zheng(a traditional Chinese musical instrument). I like to combine music on teaching in fun and enjoyable ways. I would love to learn from you at the same time while we are learning mandarin together! I have three years Chinese teaching experience at a high school in North Carolina, US and three years ESL teaching experience in Guangdong, China. When I was in the United States, I occasionally gave tutoring lessons to Army personnel to prepare them for the OPI. I also had experiences tutoring adults HSK. Currently, I am doing my graduate study at the University of Washington, United States. Throughout my career, I’ve taught students ranging from Pre K to 49 years of age! Everyone is different, and different age groups present different learning needs. I personally take the time and effort to develop and customize lessons that meet students’ learning needs. Feel free to message me if you have any questions, looking forward to hearing from you!

100% worth my time best mandarin tutor I've had whether it's learning about the culture or learning new terms.
Erin is excellent. A very patient teacher and highly qualified. Although I cannot afford as many lessons as I would like, she inspires me to continue as best I can when I'm on my own, learning the traditional Chinese characters that I've asked to study and practicing Chinese. She and I also play the guzheng. So that is fun to talk about with her.
I really love her teaching style! At first I was very overwhelmed with learning a new language especially one that isn’t phonetic, but she really helped break down the material so it is more manageable. She prioritizes speaking the language whenever possible which I have found extremely helpful to get used to it. She is also very patient and adaptable. Overall, she is a great teacher and I am excited to continue to learn with her!
