现代化的社会日新月异,需要大量勇于创新,不断进取但同时又脚踏实地的人才。 孔子的“文行忠信”与西方的 “EQ/IQ”之争都向我们显示,真正的人才所应具有的性格与特征。我相信每一个人都有属于自己的一片天地,关键在于认识自己,了解社会,把握好人生关键的几步。出国留学就是其中的一步。“读万卷书,行万里路”,我愿尽己之能,帮助每一位学子发掘自己的特长,面对新的环境新的挑战,成就自己,造福社会。

Andrea Bennett

I am originally from Cincinnati, and earned my undergrad from the University Of Cincinnati. From there I went on to become state licensed in both K-6 Elementary, and K-12 ESOL, with certifications in TESOL and CTEYL.
I have previous experience teaching ESL both in public schools and private academies in Seoul, South Korea, along with tutoring of school aged students and business professionals.
When it comes to teaching, I feel that every child needs to be taught more than just the facts; they need to be given the tools to think critically and creatively on their own. I encourage my students to ask questions and to not be afraid of trying new things.
In my personal life, I find it is very important to have a good balance between work and leisure. I thoroughly enjoy traveling and believe it is one of the most valuable and important things a person can do!

Anna Combs

My name is Anna Combs, and I am going to be a junior at the University of Dayton. I am studying Middle Childhood Education with a certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I have had a broad range of cultural experiences, such as hosting an exchange student, attending an international parish, and tutoring in English. I have worked very closely with people of African and European backgrounds, and look forward to this opportunity to learn more about the Chinese culture. I am excited to be working with you on your English skills, and can't wait to start in this cultural experience!

Lee Hunt

Hello! My name is Lee Hunt, and I am very excited to be working with Westar Education this summer. I am 25 years old, and I have a lot of hobbies: reading, playing games, writing, sports, and watching movies are some of my favorite things to do. I especially love Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings!
I am excited to be a teacher this summer because it means I get to interact with students. I think that simply talking with students and carrying out a conversation is a great way to build confidence in using English skills. This is something every student needs in order to master English, and it is something I feel many students have not had an opportunity to do in their formal learning experiences. I look forward to working with students and helping them reach their English goals!

Kara Mancinotti

Hello there! My name is Kara Mancinotti and I am an undergraduate student entering my third year at the University of Dayton. I am an intervention specialist major, with a minor in Spanish. I love reading, traveling, going to parks, and learning about new cultures. This will be my very first time in China and I am looking forward to trying all the new food. From a professional standpoint, I have had experience in four different classrooms among my two years at the university and I had the wonderful opportunity to teach English this previous semester in Spain. I believe that a teacher must be flexible and appeal to all learning styles to have success in the classroom. I will get to know my students personally and use teaching methods and materials best suited to their individual learning needs. I think that this will make my students excited to come to class and enjoy learning.

Kendall Goodman

My name is Kendall Goodman. I am currently a student at the University of South Carolina, and have been studying Chinese for 3 years. This summer will be my third trip to China. The first two trips were focused on learning Mandarin, and now I have the ability to come back and teach. My philosophy of teaching is influenced by my own experiences and reflections on language learning. While studying Mandarin, I have experienced the frustrations of learning a foreign language as well as the feeling of achievement when benchmarks are met. I believe that the success in learning a foreign language is directly linked to motivation.
Continually reminding the students to reflect on why they are learning English is a great way to keep morale high and in turn, improve language progression. I believe in a learner-centered approach to teaching foreign language. It is important to understand the interests of the students and the teaching styles to which the students are the most responsive. With a smaller group of students, it is easier to alter teaching methods in a way to optimize the learning experience for each student. Finally, I believe that an enthusiastic teacher is extremely important. If the students can see my enthusiasm and love for the language, then the students will be able to more fully enjoy their learning experience.
