      Certified tutor, Having experience in teaching HSK level 1, 2, 3 (Mandarin Beginners) My courses cover grammar instruction and skills development in reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Typically, a one-hour session will either focus on grammar for the target language or a combination of reading/listening and speaking. During that time, I taught Mandarin to foreigners at the Mandarin Corner in China.

      Why choose Yangyue L.
      "Yangyue is an amazing tutor! Every class she comes very well prepared, she is patient, and she will try to structure the class to your interests. Learning Mandarin hasn't come easy for me, but having supportive people like Yangyue is such a blessing! She is very laid-back and will most importantly listen to you and try to help you. She doesn't force anything. If you're looking for a tutor, then look no further! I recommend Yangyue!"

    My Chinese has improved so much with 卓辉 柳. He's very attentive to what my needs are as a learner, but still manages to make classes fun and conversational. He's also friendly and he makes it easy to speak. If you're looking to learn Chinese, you should take a lesson with him!

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Chinese in Mountain View, CA and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have 4 main options for learning Chinese interactively in Mountain View, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your second possibility can be local for-profit language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can find a private Chinese tutor in Mountain View, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Mountain View, CA and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it to learn Chinese and how much should Chinese tutors ask?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Chinese course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of 1/2 of a hundred class hours each semester. Language academies and private Chinese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Chinese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience and specialization. Real student rating average for Chinese lessons on Preply is 4.95 out of 5 stars.

    📚 How much Chinese do I need to know to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and exams, so research each program in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so difficult and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

    One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Chinese. Realistically, you can gain basic Chinese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand most phrases, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Chinese. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Chinese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.

    🤷 How long does it take to master Chinese?

    Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Chinese will demand at least 600 hours of practice. The required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of Chinese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write by hand and online using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Chinese out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

    🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Chinese instructor?

    In learning centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, of course! The largest selection of approved Chinese tutors with extensive profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

    🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

    Colleges typically structure classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
