About the tutor

I come from Beijing, and I am a native speaker of Mandarin. I have 1 year of experience in teaching Chinese.


In terms of teaching, whether you are a beginner or someone who wants systematic learning of pinyin pronunciation, improvement in daily conversation, expanding vocabulary, enhancing sentence structure, or learning Chinese character writing, I can provide customized courses tailored to your needs. I aim to make Chinese lessons suitable for everyone. My classes mainly adopt interactive teaching methods because I believe the best way to learn a new language is to speak as much as possible. Also, when learning a new language, don't worry about making mistakes – it's a way to progress. Additionally, I will help you correct pronunciation errors promptly during the class because you will get a more in-depth language learning experience when you do the right thing.


Furthermore, I graduated from Coventry University in the United Kingdom, and I can speak English fluently, using it as a teaching language in our lessons. As someone who has been learning English since childhood, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. I can use my experience in learning English to help you with your Chinese studies. I genuinely hope that my students can not only improve their Chinese proficiency but also gain a deeper understanding of the rich and profound Chinese culture through learning with me.


Regarding my personality, I am an outgoing and optimistic person. Whether it's on the little things in life or challenges at work, I approach everything with a serious attitude. Besides work, I have a strong interest in sports, especially participating in boxing and trampoline exercises of Les Mills. This not only keeps me physically healthy but also helps me relax. Additionally, I love travelling and exploring the cultures and landscapes of different countries. So far, I have visited 16 countries, each leaving a profound impression on me. During my travels, I learned scuba diving and obtained OW&AOW certifications. This experience has broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of the world's diverse cultures.


My Lesson and Teaching Style:


I can provide lessons for beginners, including teaching from the basics, pronunciation correction, pinyin learning, daily conversations, HSK study, travel conversations, business conversations, oral practice, and grammar learning.


In addition, beginners can start by learning Chinese pinyin and basic vocabularies and grammars to establish a fundamental understanding of the Chinese language. For intermediate-level students, we can explore more vocabulary and sentence structures through studying texts, and pronunciation corrections can be made through recitation. For advanced students, we can engage in conversations and discussions. I will give you more time to speak, allowing you to speak Chinese more confidently.


For each student, I will prepare lessons diligently and ask you about your learning preferences before our lesson so that we can make the most of our classroom time.


I will be patient with every student because learning Chinese is a gradual process that requires both the teacher's patience and the student's effort.


Also, I enjoy teaching and meeting new friends. If you want to learn Chinese systematically, start learning Chinese together with me!


As an English language learner, I deeply understand the challenges and expectations that come with acquiring a new language. It is precisely based on this experience and understanding that I have decided to channel my knowledge and passion into teaching Chinese as a foreign language, assisting more students in overcoming language barriers and mastering this beautiful and ancient language. I firmly believe that "practice makes perfect," and with determination and consistent effort, everyone can achieve satisfying results in their language learning journey.


It's worth mentioning that I have lived and studied in the United Kingdom for a valuable period of two years. This experience provided me with a profound understanding and proficient application of English. Consequently, in my Chinese language classes, I will leverage English extensively to aid instruction, ensuring that every student comprehends the course content clearly and accurately. Furthermore, I prioritize the organization and content design of the curriculum, meticulously crafting lesson plans, outlining key concepts, and creating engaging and captivating teaching slides. I believe that a structured and engaging classroom environment can not only heighten students' interest in learning but also facilitate their easier grasp and application of Chinese language knowledge.


Therefore, I sincerely invite you to subscribe to my Chinese as a foreign language course. Here, you will not only acquire a wealth of language knowledge but also experience an energetic and passionate teaching approach. Let's join hands and embark on a pleasant and efficient journey of learning Chinese, collectively pursuing our dreams and objectives in language acquisition.

Specialties

  • Chinese for beginners

    I primarily utilize English for teaching beginners, so rest assured regarding any communication concerns. Additionally, I tend to make language teaching a delightful and engaging experience.

  • Conversational Chinese

    Conversational learning should be grounded in real-life situations. When teaching conversational Chinese, I focus on diverse topics and situations. My approach encourages students to actively engage in speaking and practice actively, fostering a more immersive and dynamic learning experience rather than simply listening passively.

  • Mandarin

    Mandarin is unique because it's a tonal language. From my experience, Pinyin plays a crucial role in the overall Chinese language system. This understanding has motivated me to develop my own straightforward and effective methods, including using personalized slides in an efficient way.

  • Business Chinese

    In the realm of Business Chinese, emphasis should be placed on mastering specific sentences and expressions. I am eager to assist students in gaining a deeper understanding of cultural diversity and guiding them on the precise use of expressions in relevant contexts.

  • HSK

    I specialize in assisting Chinese learners, ranging from HSK1 - 6, in their exam preparation. I offer comprehensive support, including textbooks, exam guidelines, practical exercises, and motivating instructions to facilitate your success in passing the exams effortlessly.
