Experience
Thank you for stopping by my site! My name is Michelle Beckinsale. I am now teaching Chinese part-time in a Middle school in Rocklin, CA. I grew up in Shanghai, China. In 2008, I came to the United States and later received my BS in Kinesiology from Indiana University. Then couple years later I got my Masters Degree in Chinese literature, which is a specialized track for k-12 teaching. I have been teaching and tutoring since 2008 in USA. I have taught in large classrooms as well as one-on-one and small group sessions. I have experience working with students of various ages, and backgrounds. For example I have been volunteering teaching 3-10 year old children Chinese through fun and educational activities in local church for three years. I was also a professional Chinese tutor for an undergraduate program in Indiana University Bloomington from 2008-2013. From 2013-2014, I taught in a Mandarin immersion program in Zhejiang University, one of the top 3 universities in China. I taught foreign graduates written and spoken, formal and conversational Chinese. I had students from the USA, France, England, Congo, Germany, Korea, Austria etc. I had so much fun for teaching Chinese these years that I will always keep my passion to help others learning Chinese. My goal is to bring a free-form, practical and enjoyable Mandarin learning experience to my students.
