Hello, As a student, I like writing, design and thought experiments. Though I am learning Chinese now, later, for personal reasons, I would like to learn German, Japanese, Tagalog, and Spanish, and for academic reasons, French, Arabic and Italian. While I studied Chinese in high school and live in China pursuing a graduate degree, my grasp of Chinese is fragmentary. However, I would love to improve my ability to read and write, and to practice conversing. Since I don't like talking, even though I tend to talk a lot, I do not listen very well. By Dec 2019, I hope to pass HSK5 or 6, if possible. I can tutor others, though I would prefer to get a better grasp on being part of the iTalki service first. In terms of qualifications, I taught English for two years here in China as a public school teacher to seventh and tenth graders, a tutor for adults and teaching both one-on-one and group sessions in after-school learning centers. I also taught English pronunciation for a year. Thank you.
