Professional Information
Hi, my name is Estella Duan. I am teaching middle school and high school Mandarin at Seoul International School this year!
As a native Shanghainese, I graduated from Shanghai Normal University with a Master Degree in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics in 2007. I've been teaching Mandarin as a second language for over 8 years for both children and adults. From 2007-2011, I taught HS Mandarin in Shanghai Community International School. I have three-year teaching experience of IB Mandarin course.
I enjoy teaching very much and I love to work with teenagers. I'm prepared to work hard with my experienced colleagues to improve our students' ability in speaking, listening, writing and reading in Mandarin. I'm so glad to be here and feel SIS offers an excellent teaching environment for the Mandarin program.
