      TESOL&TCSOL Double Certified/Environmental Engineer/Based in Beijing I love helping people reach their goals!
      I have been in engineering specialty training for over 5 years, either formally or informally, tutoring one on one, teaching in front of a class, or having classes online. I also have 15 years of experience in the environmental protection industry as a senior engineer.

      Why choose Hongrong Z.
      "I highly recommend Hongrong! I work with climate change, and for my job I need to have sharp, specific language about engineering topics related to the green transition. I already spoke conversational Chinese before starting lessons with Hongrong, but I’m very excited to have found a teacher who could help me improve my vocabulary in the technical and business topics I need. Hongrong is also very pleasant to take classes with, always in a good mood and with little anecdotes to make the experience enjoyable. She is patient, funny, creative, and always curious about my needs. If there’s a technical topic she doesn’t know about, she looks into it and can then tell me all about it in the next lesson. Your Chinese is in very good hands with Hongrong!"

Language centers and independent Chinese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Chinese tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, availability and languages the tutor can teach in.

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

Studying and getting feedback 5 hours a week you will be able to understand common expressions, be understood when you talk, socialize in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Chinese. After acquiring 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 get better at speaking Chinese?

    Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Chinese will take at least 600 hours of active use. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of Chinese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch television, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Chinese out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

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

    In language centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, of course! The largest selection of approved Chinese tutors with extensive profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

    Colleges as a rule structure classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools make available 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.
