I am Tingyu Zhang, and I‘ve been an ENGL 1101& 1102 English instructor at Georgia State University since 2023. I have a Master’s degree in English and I am a 2nd year PhD student in Rhetoric and Composition at GSU.

My teaching experience spans over seven years, during which I have taught English to diverse groups, including high school and university students in China, and freshmen at Georgia State University.
-
I have contributed to the academic community as a Writing Center tutor, helping students enhance their writing skills in different papers, including those with learning disabilities.

I have also presented at international conferences, focusing on inclusive tutoring practices for students with dyslexia and Western feminism's influence on Chinese feminist rhetoric.
