WHAT IS OUR BRAND STORY?

Our brand is inspired by the characteristics of the olive plant. This becomes a tree that always stays green. In addition, it bears a fruit and this, even if it is small, becomes useful in a great variety of aspects. To achieve its ultimate goal as a product, the olive goes through various processes. For example, to become an oil it goes through a lot of pressure and time.

Apart from these characteristics, the tree is known to be a tree that is inside the temple of God and that always praises him. In this same way, the brand is inspired by these processes and praise, where God works in our lives with small steps, as in the olive tree.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

My name is Kei Lin, I’m a lover of education, I believe that teaching can expand the world and change one's life, that’s why I am a Mandarin teacher with more than 10 years of experience in the education of this language. I have had students of different ages, from 4-year-olds to retired adults. In my journey I have seen that for Costa Ricans, China is a distant and mysterious country. In class, students always have thousands of questions with curious faces. As a teacher, after preparation, what I want is for the lessons to be as enriching as possible. In Mandarin classes I become an ambassador of China. I explain the order of the characters, tell the story of the letters and words, and share the customs.

 

At the beginning of my journey, I experienced a challenge in the limited amount of materials and lack of teaching systems. Today, I see that many teachers who are starting this career, still face the same challenge. Based on my teaching experience and knowledge of both cultures, I identified the need for standardized material to help systematize Mandarin classes, reduce the burden on teachers, and provide the best follow-up to each student. This is how I started the Textos Olivo project to bring Mandarin textbooks from well-known publishers specialized in teaching Mandarin. Currently, Textos Olivo is the authorized distributor of the Beijing Language and Culture University publishing house.
