My name is Shenping Sun. I was born in a northeast city in China. I speak standard Mandarin. My college major (in China) was English. I taught English to college students from 1982 until I came to the USA in 1991. I got my MA majoring in sociology at UIC in 1994 and studied for two years at Kellogg Graduate School at Northwestern. I worked as a Teaching Assistant at UIC for two years while I was a graduate student. I volunteered in Xilin Chinese School at UIC for years involved in both teaching and management activities. I also gave private lessons (Conversational Chinese) to an English speaking adult for more than a year (1994-1995). I have been working in the US companies for about ten years and my most current job title was Sr. Statistical Analyst.

I always enjoy teaching and am very confident that my students will enjoy my class too.
