Tutoring

Mandarin & Classical Chinese

I have been studying Mandarin for over 20 years and received my Masters of Arts in Chinese Language, Literature, and Culture with a focus in linguistics and pedagogy from the University of Massachusetts.

I am a practiced teacher of both Mandarin Chinese and Classical Chinese. I am comfortable instructing students in either simplified or traditional characters.

Russian

I have been studying Russian for over 20 years, spent time abroad in high school as part of the Amherst-Petrozavodsk exchange program, and have completed the Middlebury Summer of Candidacy for graduate study in the language.

Irish

My study of the Irish language has been is nascent yet deep. I studied in Conamara at the Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge through the University of Galway and at the Gaeltacht an Oileáin Úir in Ontario. While I am not currently able to teach all levels of Irish, I am able to provide beginner and elementary lessons for students wishing to meet A1, A2 or B1 levels. DuoLingo can only take you so far, so if you have dipped your toes in digitally and would like a more solid foundation of Irish to serve as a platform for future more intensive or higher level study, I am here to help.
