    A native Mandarin Chinese teacher with 15+ years teaching experience

    I grew up in Beijing and has been living in Hong Kong for 20 years. I got my Putonghua teaching certificate at Hong Kong Chinese University and has been awarded the first-class grade in the National Putonghua Proficiency Test. I have been teaching Mandarin for over 15 years and have also worked as a Mandarin Chinese curriculum designer and instructor.

    My young students are mainly from ISF, CIS, VAS, GSIS, FIS, HKIS, AISHK, Kettett School, Hong Kong Academy, ESF, Hong Kong Japanese School. Besides the IB, I am familiar with IGCSE Chinese, as well as AP Chinese requirements.

    My adult courses are carried out in accordance with the HSK levels from Beginner onwards. I am using the good HSK framework, to help students progress milestone by milestone.

    I teach any degree of students, so even if you are a beginner, don't worry.

    In our first class, I will spend a little time asking about your needs, and what class you want to take, which allows me to find the right materials to make textbooks.

    I will design a course according to the needs of the students. Whether it is listening, speaking, or reading, I will make a textbook for you, so you can review it after class, which will make you progress quickly. If you have any questions during class or after class, please feel free to tell me.

    In the course of learning, I will use the example sentence instead of the explanation, so that you can clearly know the context in which the sentence can be used.

    You will have a textbook for each class, I will also give you homework after class if you want to practice more.

    You are also welcome to take a conversation with me. You can talk about any topic you are interested in, which will greatly enhance your conversational skills.

    Click the Chinese language and Asian culture on/off-line with the help of an articulate and humorous native!
    Hey, I am Yu. Nice to meet you. This lesson can help you set out to learn how to speak Hanyu, read, and write Zhongwen. For this purpose, you will study the Chinese alphabet (Hanyu Pinyin), characters(Hanzi), vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and common words and phrases. If you want to learn the Chinese language, you've found the right class! Course materials can be: -Standard Course HSK (for language ability test) -Experiencing Chinese (for immersive classes) -Learn Chinese with me (for schoolchildren and teenagers) -AP Chinese -....... -any tailor-made materials that interest you This course is designed in three versions for different kinds of participants: 1) A Beginner! - Have little or no prior knowledge of the Chinese language; - Want to learn how to make yourself understood in Chinese when traveling, for example, understanding and speaking common everyday words (and sentences) in different typical scenarios ; - Hope to express 1-10 and some larger numbers in China in speech or by gesture decently. *Some examples at this stage: - Hello! Thank you. How are you? - Sorry. / You're welcome! - I can speak Chinese! What's your name? - What's the date today? What's the time now? - I'd like a cup of coffee. Is this seat free? - (and other current Chinese usages in any scenarios you're interested in! ) **Naturally, pronunciation and the four vowel tones are an important part of the lessons, but participants also learn the principles of Chinese writing and gain an understanding of Chinese culture! 2) An Intermediate Learner - Have upper-intermediate knowledge of Chinese; - Need to increasingly enhance our active language skills, to expand your vocabulary, practice reading without Pinyin, and master more advanced grammar and fixed structures to be able to make longer sentences; - Interest yourself in being able to express your views on common everyday topics, like foods, drinks, gifts, weather, Chinese habits, and common practice. 3) An Advanced Learner - Can speak and understand Chinese reasonably well; - Attempt to deepen your understanding of Chinese culture and learn more advanced grammatical constructs to communicate more specific and complex ideas in Chinese, both verbally and in writing; - Focus on topics dealt with leisure and hobbies, hospitality, culture, arts, poetry, history, dynasties and civilization, of modern and ancient China. ***I have lived in China for over twenty years, traveled to many cites (including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Hongkong, Macau, and so on), and have been educated at respected schools and universities. Currently, I am studying Social Sciences in the Netherlands and I am a fan of Chinese literature/Japanese anime/Marvel films, so it's also welcome that you would like to have an informative and interesting talk in Chinese about these topics. +China captures the imagination with its fascinating contrasts. A modern-day global economic entity that proudly upholds ancient traditions. Definitely, a good way to start learning more about China is by taking Chinese!

    Stephanie
    Mandarin/Cantonese/ESL Language and Culture to Students of all Levels
    My courses offer the following skills training: reading, listening comprehension, speaking, pronunciation spelling, grammar usage, writing, vocabulary building, idiomatic expressions, language registers, culture and history. My lesson is learners-centered and based on students' learning styles, and the curriculum is organized around the interests, actual needs, specific learning goals, abilities, and aspirations of students. I also aim to not only offer structured and engaging course content that propels students for self-practice but also give my students a measurable sense of what can be accomplished, so the whole learning experience becomes relevant, useful, and lasting to you. For beginners, I will first provide you with a basic framework for the language being taught, which is in line with the traditional academic approach. For example, you will learn about 10 Chinese characters in each class (60 minutes). You will also learn to read simple Chinese sentences from the beginning. With a solid foundation laid, you will not feel lost by being overwhelmed with hundreds of different unrelated Chinese characters. In lesson 10, you will start reading short Chengyu stories. Drilling and grinding are the inevitable processes of any language learning, but I also incorporate effective learning methodologies to help students absorb knowledge. I will add in vocab pop quizzes as well as some exercises as homework to help consolidate what you have learned in my class. After about 20 lessons, you will have learned several hundred characters already. By then I will have simple conversations with you to strengthen the memory of the most commonly used sentence patterns so that you are conditioned to the tone and the pace of everyday conversation. Once you got the hang of it, I will gradually increase the practice of dialogue in all kinds of practical scenarios, such as reading the Chinese menu and understanding the characters of each dish, telling the taxi driver where you’re going. The more advanced level of the course will focus on interactive discussion while adding correct grammar usage and pronunciation correction throughout the process. I will also expose you to more intellectually stimulating topics and analyze excerpts from literature, news, movies, music lyrics, etc, and encourage you to express opinions and thoughts. My goal is to make language learning an authentic and fun experience. The use of language needs to be closely related to your real life. By simulating various life scenarios, you get to practice the language you use the most. I also exchange roles with my students, asking them to explain the meaning of a certain word or idiom to me and make them create their own sentences. It's okay if you don't remember a particular expression, find the right word or pronounce it correctly every time. Mistakes actually help with learning and progress. I help my students learn through trial and error and exploration, preparing them to take ownership of their learning and continue progressing in the future without me. I speak multiple languages ​​(Cantonese, English, French), which can facilitate your learning if necessary. My classroom materials are sourced from a whole gamut of study materials, from textbooks newspapers, classic literary stories, to music and movies.
