Hello! My name is 郭老师. I am originally from Beijing, China, and I am passionate about sharing the beauty of the Chinese language and culture with students around the world.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, as well as both a Master’s degree in Computer Science and an MBA from Johns Hopkins University. My diverse academic background has given me a unique perspective on teaching, blending analytical thinking with creativity and communication.
As a certified 马立平中文三年级 teacher and a certified language instructor on Preply, I am dedicated to making Mandarin learning both engaging and accessible. I especially enjoy creating animated video lessons to help students master Pinyin and build a strong foundation in Chinese. I believe that learning should be effective and enjoyable, and I strive to inspire confidence and curiosity in every student I teach.
Outside the classroom, I am a proud parent of two wonderful children, which gives me firsthand insight into the joys and challenges of language learning for young students.
My experiences as both a teacher and a parent help me create lessons that are fun, practical, and supportive for families.
Thank you for visiting my site—I look forward to supporting your Mandarin learning journey!
