About Nicholas:

Hello! Ni hao!

My name is Nicholas and I am fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

I studied the language at St. Olaf College for 4 years including an intensive program at the East China Normal University in Shanghai, China for 6 months.

After I graduated in 2007, I immediately moved to China to continue studying Chinese and to teach English to Chinese students. I started to work as a translator as well with one of my projects as a Translator at the Beijing Olympics.

After living throughout Asia for 5 years, I am now back in Los Angeles looking to tutor those with any level in Mandarin Chinese and even English as a Second Language.

With all of my experience, I am confident in my teaching methods and shape my courses to each individual student. I execute effective, creative, and stimulating lessons.
