Teacher/Tutor in Xi'an

the finest of education for their children.  For families living in a foreign country this can be particularly challenging.  Choices may be very limited and not meet the specific needs of their children and tuition can be very costly.  Home schooling may be an attractive alternative for some parents, but may leave a parent worried that they are doing enough in regards to their children's education or find, as their children move up the grades, that the demands of the curriculum are becoming a challenge for them.  Others may choose to enrol their children in a long distance learning program that parallels the curriculum their children would receive if they were attending school in their native country, but this alternative may still leave them with the same concerns as the home schoolers.

For parents living in or around Xi'an, there is another choice.  I have over thirty years of experience in the field of education as teacher, administrator, curriculum developer, private tutor and teacher trainer.  Follow this link to view my Curriculum Vitae  C.V.doc
