For the past semester I’ve been tutoring a small group of children every Monday night. It has been a rewarding challenge some evenings to say the least.

Last semester I taught a group of teachers children twice a week. This semester Mrs. Li Qing approached me asking if I’d be willing to teach again. I had declined the larger tutoring group but agreed to a smaller group here at the apartment.

The children this semester were different as their parents were not teachers but family friends of Mrs. Li. Emily was my only returning student.

 Although I’m happy to have my Monday nights free I’ll miss the energy they bring.

Mrs. Li Qing has been my parent liaison for both my tutoring classes, this semester and last. Her English is limited but compared to my Chinese she’s fluent. I’ve appreciated all her help. She is a teacher her at the college.

Emily & Addison

They had the best English by far. I wish I could continue tutoring Addison as I know he will go far with his fluency if he keeps up his hard work.
