My name is Yuxiao Du (杜宇潇). I also go by Landon. I am a Preceptor in Chinese in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University. I am currently the course head for Pre-Advanced Modern Chinese. Previously, I have taught Elementary and Intermediate Chinese courses for heritage and non-heritage speakers under both regular and intensive settings. I also taught at Harvard Taipei Academy for three summers, leading the teaching team of second-year Chinese.
Before joining the Harvard Chinese Language Program, I completed my Master's studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and my undergraduate studies at Fudan University. I grew up in Wuhan, China. (Yes, it's that Wuhan! :)
