終日忙碌，不如停下來，哪怕就是一小會兒，發發呆也好。我們畢竟是人，不是機器。
Rather than always having to do something, take a moment during the day to simply be. We are human beings after all, not human doings.
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.
