About the teacher

Hi, I'm Aileen, a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese, from Shanghai, China. I have a Bachelor's degree in linguistics and anthropology from McGill University. Thanks to my training, I understand the common difficulties in learning a new language; therefore, I am very patient. It has been a pleasure helping my students build confidence in every aspect of learning Chinese language. I have been teaching Mandarin for six years.


Bonjour, je suis Aileen et je suis originaire de Chine. Le mandarin est ma langue maternelle. J'ai terminé le lycée en Chine et je suis venue à Montréal pour poursuivre et terminer mon baccalauréat en linguistique et anthropologie à l'Université McGill. Grâce à cette formation, je comprends bien les difficultés liées à l'apprentissage d'une nouvelle langue. J'ai donc appris aussi la patience et le courage. Ce fut pour moi un grand plaisir d'aider mes élèves à développer la confiance face à tous les aspects de la langue chinoise. J'enseigne le mandarin depuis six ans.
