My name is Logan, I was born and raised in a small rural community in Texas. From high school through university, I regularly competed in rhetoric and debate competitions across Texas and the Southern United States. I graduated from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. I also hold certifications in teaching English as a second language, and Chinese Language Proficiency. During my last years of University and the years that followed, I tutored students in rhetoric and was an assistant Debate Coach, teaching students from multiple linguistic backgrounds. Since moving to China, I’ve gained experience teaching students of all ages, from Kindergartners to High school students.

My pedagogical method is simple: to teach what I know and learn what I don’t. My lessons are not structured as a lecture, but as a conversation between equals, with each sharing what they know and learning from the rest. This helps to create a more relaxed environment while also reinforcing learning as they use new language/concepts in an authentic conversation.

我叫Logan，出生成長(zhǎng)于德克薩斯州的鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)，畢業(yè)于北德克薩斯大學(xué)，獲有哲學(xué)學(xué)士學(xué)位。高中到大學(xué)期間，我常參加德克薩斯州和美國(guó)南部的修辭辯論賽。我還持有英語(yǔ)作為第二語(yǔ)言的教學(xué)證書(shū)和漢語(yǔ)水平證書(shū)。大學(xué)后期及畢業(yè)后的幾年里，我給很多學(xué)生輔導(dǎo)修辭學(xué)課程，并擔(dān)任助理辯論教練，教授了來(lái)自多種語(yǔ)言背景的學(xué)生。來(lái)到中國(guó)后，我開(kāi)始教授從幼兒園到高中各個(gè)年齡段的學(xué)生。

我的教學(xué)方法很簡(jiǎn)單：教我所知，授我所學(xué)。我的課不是嚴(yán)肅枯燥的講座，而是師生間平行平等的交流，每個(gè)人都可以暢所欲言，分享自己的所知所得，互相學(xué)習(xí)。這一理念有助于創(chuàng)造一個(gè)輕松的學(xué)習(xí)氛圍，也有利于學(xué)生更好地學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)步，畢竟他們是在真實(shí)的對(duì)話場(chǎng)景中使用新語(yǔ)言、新概念。
