I believe Chinese can be learned in an easy and fun way to interact with others.

I have more than 10 years of teaching experience in Chinese Mandarin. I teach in the international Pin Yin system, or Taiwanese system, including speaking, listening, writing, and reading. I use a pragmatic way to help the student learn the language, and practice in different scenarios according to their progress. Plus I introduce culture sessions, including the modern and traditional discussions.

Reviews (3)

It was a pleasant first introduction to the teacher. She has previously supervised a student from the same course. So it's nice that the teacher knows what to work towards for the exam.

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.
