Cheng-Wei has gathered broad experience teaching Chinese in tertiary institutions. He holds a PhD in Applied Linguistics from UNSW, specialising in the field of Second Language Acquisition. He also possesses a Master’s degree in Cognitive Psychology from the U.S.

As a person loving teaching, I completed my Bachelor Degree of Education in Beijing in 1997. After that I practised teaching in a selective school in Beijing for about 4 years.

In February 2002, I came to Sydney, Australia and have been teaching Mandarin since then. For personal growth, I also studied Diploma in Education and Master of Education with the University of New South Wales.

Active and easy-going, I enjoy meeting people of different backgrounds and who are interested in China and its splendid culture. Teaching a range of levels, such as beginner, intermediate or advanced, I tailor my teaching materials, vary teaching strategies and scaffold my students to reach their different learning goals. From time to time, I take my students to restaurant or shops to practise their Mandarin.

I believe teaching is one the most rewarding and enjoyable jobs, especially when I see my students can benefit from China’s magnificent cultural and linguistic resources.
