BIOGRAPHY
My name is Annie Shen. I have an innate enthusiasm and love for language and culture. I started teaching business and general Chinese mandarin early in 2010 and have been warmly welcomed and highly appreciated since then. During the time when I worked in foreign-owned companies, I had been doing Chinese teaching almost at all of my off hours including weekends. I had also been an editor (Chinese & English) for years. My main job duties at that time were to edit the English-Chinese, Chinese-English accounting and business dictionaries and some textbooks in Chinese & English version. I have taught business Chinese to executives and professionals both in speaking and writing on a one-to-one basis and in group class (corporate training and individual instruction) as full-time work on my own later. In addition, special training in Chinese teaching I earlier received from East China Normal University, Taiwan Language Institute and HongKong Baptist College & China Daily International Language College. My students have been business executives, professionals, travelers and students who come from different countries over the world.

EXPERIENCE
I have 8 years experience in teaching. I understand about students’ language learning needs and goals. Instruction is given in the target language as possible but also cared about adapting to the learners’ learning preferences. New language is always presented in context of real-life situations, with extra-targeted practice of grammar, structure or vocabulary etc., where the focus is on motivating students to actively participate in the learning process and practical use of the target language and communication. Praising, encouraging and supporting learners in their efforts to learn and communicate based on different levels and interests.
