Mandarin Chinese and Japanese lessons (all levels, ages)

Àpd 43.78 $ /h

I specialise in teaching Chinese and Japanese to students of all ages and abilities. For both of these languages, my pronunciation, grammar and fluency are at a near native level, and my students benefit from my ability to explain concepts in English.

I am a creative teacher, however I do not shy away from traditional approaches to teaching, and as a teacher of languages, I particularly enjoy teaching grammar and pronunciation and have developed a thorough approach to each of these, along with all other aspects of language-learning. I have considerable experience devising and implementing my own syllabi (something I also greatly enjoy!) to cater for the diverse needs of my students - particularly younger learners.

The exact format for my classes therefore differs from student to student: some prefer to focus solely on speaking and listening; others (schoolchildren for instance) study more writing and translation. A typical syllabus followed could include the following on a weekly or fortnightly basis:

pronunciation training; writing practice; focussed work on grammar and grammatical structures; reading exercises; conversational role-play; vocabulary testing; essays on history and culture

Présentation

I am an experienced teacher across a range of subjects, teaching students of all ages and abilities in a variety of group and one-to-one settings. For the last three years, I have taught students at all levels of the English national curriculum, as well as adult learners, in London.

I am fully qualified as a teacher of EFL, having received the Trinity Cert. TESOL after finishing school. I have taught English as a foreign language in schools in both the UK and abroad. I started teaching privately in my second year at university and currently teach Mandarin and Japanese to primary, secondary and adult-learner students. As of this year, my students have achieved 100% A/A* grades in British GCSE and A Level exams.

I have considerable experience devising and implementing my own syllabi (something I also greatly enjoy!) to cater for the diverse needs of my students - particularly younger learners. I have developed my own games and programmes of study for teaching East Asian languages to young children.

I have very recently moved to Amsterdam and am keen to begin finding new students locally!
