Olá! Tudo bem? Hello! My name is Shuo. I am a Beijinger (北京人儿) and a bilingual homeschool mom. I love to swim, watch movies, bake, cook, drink tea or coffee, and spend time with my husband and our daughters.

I worked at a courthouse for almost 10 years before I studied abroad. When I was in China, I met my first Mandarin student, assisted foreign English teachers with classroom teaching for teenagers, and passed the Putonghua Proficiency Test (Level 1-B). During my master’s degree studies in the United States, I worked on campus as a student ambassador, student worker, graduate assistant, and English tutor/instructor for international students.

I believe that language is one of the most powerful tools to encourage you to see the world. I understand that multiple factors can influence your learning journey. Together, we will practice comprehensive language skills based on your interests—not only learning the language itself but also exploring cultures, behaviors, phenomena, and much more.
