btrmint learning

I have taught English and Chinese from New York to Taiwan, and I infuse my passion for learning in the materials I create.

My teaching style is full-force, high-grit learning that focuses on comprehending and activating knowledge. I learned Mandarin the way native speakers learn: copy, memorize, repeat, expand, and test -- and it works. But, I appreciate the "fun" side of learning and try to incorporate interesting information, art, and creativity into my materials. Learning isn't always fun, but persevere and you'll have such a more interesting life!

Yet to be added

I majored in English and Children's Literature at the University of Florida (USA) and earned a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics at Macquarie University (Australia). In Taiwan, I attended Feng Chia University's Mandarin language program.

I live on a small farm with my animal friends -- where I spend most of my time chasing my two curious goats out of the veggie garden!
