Hobbies

Hi, 你好！ My name is Peter Braden and I'd like to be your tutor. Since graduating from college, I've lived in mainland China and Taiwan for more than five years. I'm passionate about the Chinese language and culture-- everything from ancient history and poetry to Buddhism to modern politics. One day I will be a professor of Chinese history. Today, I hope to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with you or your child. No matter how old you are, or how long you've studied Chinese, I can help you see big gains in this fascinating language. I am happy to customize lessons to suit your needs (listening, reading, etc.) or provide comprehensive study plans that cover all aspects of modern Chinese. Incidentally, I also enjoy playing the guitar, running and weight training, and gardening. A Chinese proverb says, 千里之行始於足下-- a journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step. Make the first step toward improving your Chinese, and contact me today!
