Dragon mandarin chinese tutoring

Founder

Jul 2016Jan 2017 · 6 mos · Sandy, Utah

  • Founded this company and employeed 8 tutors to teach various clients Mandarin Chinese.
  • Most of our students are K-12 in Utah's immersion schools. Half of their day is in Chinese and half is in English. However, most of these student's parents don't speak Chiense and can't help them with their homework. That's where we step in. We developed and integrated an online software to have tutors and clients be at any part of the country and they can still communicate and teach via our online whiteboard and video communication devices.
