“三人行，必有我师” — “Three walk together, one must be my teacher” is the saying from Analects. The saying teaches us that learning is happening everywhere. You can always find something to learn if you are paying attention to appreciate others’ strengths, talents, knowledge and skills.
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.
