LIN WEI-CHENG

I have been teaching Mandarin for six years in university & online classrooms, and company boardrooms. Focus on helping students grow in reading and conversation, giving them the tools and inspiring them to explore Taiwanese culture on their own. Once they can experience everything around them with confidence, their learning accelerates on its own.
