Hello to All, I am the one of the ninth and tenth grade ELS instructors. My job is to help all students become more proficient with all parts of the English language. For enjoyment, I fish, read several different types of books, enjoy many types of music, and I am starting to learn how to play the harmonica; it is difficult, but fun.I like to walk stairs for exercise, and I love the beauty of nature and what it has to offer. I have lived in Beijing for five months, and I believe I will make Beijing my home for many years to come. I have never met nicer people than the people of the People's Republic of China. Tsinghua is a fantastic place to work, and it is my hope to be here for many years, and help as many students as possible. I look forward to speaking with you, and if any students, parents or guardians have any questions, please contact me , and I will get back with you promptly. Mr. Athan
