Calvin King

My name is Calvin King and I am an American Living overseas. I studied at International school of Beijing for more than 3 years and lived in China for my entire life, and just currently moved to the US. I am a current junior student at pacific academy, who is a native Chinese speaker. In China I studied IB Chinese A: Language and Literature for grade 9-10, this rigorous course strongly enhances my Chinese abilities. Furthermore, I was in a bilingual Montessori school in Beijing from Kinder-garden until the end of 6the grade. Following after I went to International school of Beijing for middle and high school. I am always surrounded by Chinese and English language all my life, so I can communicate well both in English and Chinese. I taught Chinese to my family friends and my own brother for many years, I was also a peer tutor in my school but it was a fairly small landscape, which I want to extent and get more experience from teaching, so I really am thrilled to be part of the community and will dedicate my time afterschool for this job. Outside of school I am Learning Vocal and went on several competitions and am striving to get into Berklee music Or Musician Institute in the future. I like creative things so I enjoy teaching and socializing getting along with people, and making friends. I believe I can be a good teacher and friend to students in the school. I truly hope I can get this job with my passion of teaching and also I want to support my family. My grandparents health status isn't great after contracting COVID, and they have been taking good care of me for my entire childhood as my parents are always gone away for work, so I am always surrounded by my grandparents. Thus, I established a better relation with them, and now I am old enough and I want to help my grandparents, even though its not big but I wanna utilize my meager power to support them and try my best to compensate all their effort they put into me.
