About Di
Before moving to Argentina and teaching at an IB school, I was a Senior high school Chinese language and literature teacher in Shanghai with a solid language foundation. The experience of joining the IBDP program in a new language and cultural environment allowed me to integrate my knowledge structure and educational methods into the IB learner profile. I am very familiar with the core content of the course and can give you the most suitable guidance when it comes to your Language learning, Individual Oral (IO), Extended Essay (EE), and IB Chinese Self Taught, and by the way in addition to Chinese and English, I also speak Spanish.

Teaching Style
My methodology and approach to tutoring
What is your teaching philosophy?
In tutoring 1-1, the goal is for my students to make an accurate analysis of questions and apply the skills that they acquired from the 1-1 tutoring classes on their own in preparation for the final IB assessments. I want to instill confidence in my students through teaching simple and easy-to-remember reading, writing, and oral speaking strategies.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In the first class, I am used to knowing the students and their parents and learning their most urgent needs. Through short reading and writing tests, I examine the level of students. Through a series of interactive exercises, I study the students' memory type, learning habits, and hobbies.
