As a professional Mandarin instructor with almost two decades worth of teaching experience in American schools, I came to recognize how language-learning in a school setting is only one step in the long journey of acquiring a foreign language. I felt a need and urge to bring my profession beyond school, and I believe professional teaching should be accessible to anyone at any point in their life. It is with this belief that I founded MAD Mandarin LLC in 2018 with the goal to incorporate the latest teaching methods with my own innovative approach of Mindful-Active-Dynamic to positively achieve the best language-learning results.
“己所不欲，勿施于人”—”Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire” is a famous saying in contemporary China but derived from ancient Confucianism. People think the saying is similar to western Golden Rule, the principle of treating others as you want to be treated.
The saying teaches us that while people are different, humanity is the same because the maxim can be found in many religions and cultures.
