I was born in China and I am a native Chinese speaker. My major was Chinese language and literature when I studied for my bachelor's degree in China. After moved to America, I earned my master's degree from the Chinese program in San Francisco State University. I started teaching Mandarin in California since 2003. Since then, I have taught all ages from elementary to college levels. In my Mandarin classroom, students would find out and tell me that learning Mandarin is not that hard because the teacher (Ms. Bloom) is good at making learning easier and fun. I promise that I will try my best to help you learn Mandarin in my class.
