Learn Chinese with real-world applications

Su-Jane Chen brings decades of teaching experience, travel, and study to deliver the best Chinese education.

 

I believe in integrating the Chinese language with immediate applications and cultural anecdotes.

It is important for foreign language learners to both continuously practice a language and have the motivation to pursue their study. Having real-world applications and opportunities to engage with the culture helps inspire and entice learners to stick with their study.

That said, I recognize that Chinese characters come from symbolic and pictographic roots. So, those characters tell stories and have inherent meaning. While applying the language, I do not forsake the fundamental skills and narratives that would benefit long-term study.

This unique approach to Chinese helps students learn quickly, stay motivate, and retain their learnings.

 
 

Decades of enhanced teaching experience.

Including Laurel School, University School, Cuyahoga Community College, and Magnificat High School, I bring decades of teaching, curriculum design, and cultural activity design to your tutoring.

From creating standards for Chinese study for the Ohio Department of Education to creating full-experience, multi-week tours and study-abroad programs for students, I have cultivated many unique programs for people of all ages and backgrounds.

 
 

Consulting for schools and curriculum design.

Does your school need to revamp it’s Chinese curriculum or program, launch your very first Chinese program, or even launch an exchange program, pen pal program, or winter vacation program to China? I’ve done it all, and I’m more than eager to help you enhance your school’s offerings and opportunities.
