Exploring China: Language, History, Culture & Politics

How to make the place where you live in China now feel more like home?

The answer is to be both linguistically and culturally closer to the Chinese people!

This course will offer you an immersing experience in Chinese language and culture, history, and even politics. Seperated into three different sections, the class material includes Mandarin tutoring and cultural practices in China, Chinese history, and an introduction to Chinese political system.

Mandarin tutoring and Chinese culture (English and Chinese): Jump into the mandarin-speaking world with native speakers. You will learn about the inner workings of the "unfathomable" characters and the correct use of slangs and daily phrases. You will also attend special activity classes after every three normal lectures, in which you will be brought to a down-to-earth Chinese cultural experience: the best restaurant in town, the most trendy make-up workshop, or even a conversation with a Chinese grandma in the morning market!

Chinese history (Mainly lectured in English. Technical terms are in Chinese): As the sole survivor of the four ancient civilizations, China has a splendid story to offer. The deceased dynasties, the epic wars, the revolutionary inventions, the great philosophies... You will explore the past of China chapter by chapter, diving into the love and hate hidden behind the ashes. However, our course is not limited to the past, but also makes connections with the contemporary events and issues. What happened in the past promotes what is happening now.

Chinese politics (Mainly lectured in English. Technical terms are in Chinese): It is not as forbidden as it seems. Aren't you curious about the voting system? What are the autonomous regions, special regions, and their specialized policies and their relationships with the central government? What are the major policies the Chinese government is adopting at the moment?... Don't let those questions remain mysterious. We combine accurate information from the Chinese politics textbooks and latest news from the Western media to show you an unbiased full picture of the politics in China. Start understanding the Communist party from now.

Extra information

There is no age limitation for the course. The only thing that you are expected to have is the interest in the content mentioned above and an open mind for political discussions.

About Me

你好! Hello! Bonjour! Hola!

This is Carol. I was born and raised in Inner Mongolia, but I moved to Shanghai at the age of 15 to start studying in an international high school on a full scholarship which I am still continuing now.

Do not underestimate the power of the young generation. I am fluent in Mandarin and English, and at the level of B1 for French and A2 for Spanish. I have so far backpacked to 13 different countries around the world all by myself. The special experience facilitates me to look at the situation in China and many global issues from a unique perspective.
I have always been one of the top students in school. I am particularly interested in history, culture and language. Starting this tutoring was my own idea, but I invited many of my peers, who are young talented and enthusiastic about the same topics, to join the teaching team with me.

The future belongs to the youth, thus it's very important to see the mindset of the young generation. Aiming to be members of the global leaders, we are trying to stand out from the traditional Chinese students and embrace the global community as a whole. One of us has already launched a teaching program in Shanghai for primary school students; now we wish to spread the educational ideas and promote Chinese language, culture and history to the world.

Education

Graducated from a traditional Chinese middle school in Hohhot city, Inner Mongolia

I am now attending WLSA Fudan Academy, one of the best international high schools in Shanghai/China

Average GPA for the past school years: 4.0

Experience / Qualifications

I have volunteered in teaching English in a local primary school in Shanghai and an educational organization in Jakarta

I have been an online tutor on the application Enter teaching English

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it. I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature. Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.

During the lessons I often care about the subject matter that is more interesting to make and we solve exercises together. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his/her test of the exam. However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a bond with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this to solve and improve the problems. Are you interested?
