Exploring China: Language, History, Culture & Politics
How to make the place where you live in China now feel more like home?
The answer is to be both linguistically and culturally closer to the Chinese people!
This course will offer you an immersing experience in Chinese language and culture, history, and even politics. Seperated into three different sections, the class material includes Mandarin tutoring and cultural practices in China, Chinese history, and an introduction to Chinese political system.
Mandarin tutoring and Chinese culture (English and Chinese): Jump into the mandarin-speaking world with native speakers. You will learn about the inner workings of the "unfathomable" characters and the correct use of slangs and daily phrases. You will also attend special activity classes after every three normal lectures, in which you will be brought to a down-to-earth Chinese cultural experience: the best restaurant in town, the most trendy make-up workshop, or even a conversation with a Chinese grandma in the morning market!
Chinese history (Mainly lectured in English. Technical terms are in Chinese): As the sole survivor of the four ancient civilizations, China has a splendid story to offer. The deceased dynasties, the epic wars, the revolutionary inventions, the great philosophies... You will explore the past of China chapter by chapter, diving into the love and hate hidden behind the ashes. However, our course is not limited to the past, but also makes connections with the contemporary events and issues. What happened in the past promotes what is happening now.
Chinese politics (Mainly lectured in English. Technical terms are in Chinese): It is not as forbidden as it seems. Aren't you curious about the voting system? What are the autonomous regions, special regions, and their specialized policies and their relationships with the central government? What are the major policies the Chinese government is adopting at the moment?... Don't let those questions remain mysterious. We combine accurate information from the Chinese politics textbooks and latest news from the Western media to show you an unbiased full picture of the politics in China. Start understanding the Communist party from now.

About Me
你好! Hello! Bonjour! Hola!This is Shixin. I was born and raised in Inner Mongolia, but I moved to Shanghai at the age of 15 to start studying in an international high school on a full scholarship, later to the US for a bachelor degree, and meanwhile traveling around the world as much as my budget and time allow.
Do not underestimate the power of the young generation. I am fluent in Mandarin and English, and at the level of B2 for French and C2 for Spanish. I have so far backpacked to 39 different countries around the world all by myself. The special experience has enabled me to look at the situation in China and many global issues from a unique perspective.
I have always been one of the top students in school. I am particularly interested in history, culture and language. Starting this tutoring was my own idea, but I invited many of my peers, who are young talented and enthusiastic about the same topics, to join the teaching team with me.
The future belongs to the youth, thus it's very important to see the mindset of the young generation. Aiming to be members of the global leaders, we are trying to stand out from the traditional Chinese students and embrace the global community as a whole. One of us has already launched a teaching program in Shanghai for primary school students; now we wish to spread the educational ideas and promote Chinese language, culture and history to the world.
Education
Graduated from a traditional Chinese middle school in Hohhot city, Inner MongoliaAttended WLSA Fudan Academy, one of the best international high schools in Shanghai/China
Graduated from The University of Chicago majoring in Linguistics and Global Studies with summa cum laude on a full financial aid program
Starting a MPhil in Development Studies at Oxford University, UK this year
Average GPA for the past school years: 3.95
Experience / Qualifications
Worked as ESL instructor for 1+ year at Elena’s Light, a US-based NGO for refugee womenPrivate English tutor with 3+ year experience with students from different linguistic backgrounds (Chinese, Mongolian, Spanish, Dari)
Volunteered in teaching English in a local primary school in Shanghai and an educational organization in Jakarta
