About Me
italki teacher since Dec 31, 2015
My name is CAI Xu.I graduated from Sichuan Agricultural University.
Certification from the Columbia University Teachers College (2019).
I have been engaged in online Chinese teaching for 6 years.
I am also a language learning enthusiast.
To be a good language teacher not only needs to have professional teaching skills, but also must be a patient listener, enthusiastic motivator, and empathetic colleague . These can make students have more enthusiasm and stickiness in learning! Fortunately, my optimistic and energetic personality helps me.
Me as a Teacher
I have helped 300 students, I had nearly 5000 classes.
I have helped students with all kind of learning purpose.
My student age from 7 to 60 year old.
My students have had many successes in Chinese :
Passing the HSK4, 5 and 6 ;
Successfully interviewing for jobs with Chinese enterprises;
Successfully corresponding in Chinese on business matters.
My lessons & teaching style
Students have different learning purposes. After knowing their language levels, learning objectives and personality traits, I tailored their lesson plans and selected teaching materials that were suitable for them .
I have created and participated in the shooting of more than 60 video lessons, established my own teaching website, customized flash cards and videos for reviewing new words, and provided creative incentive learning mechanisms for students.
In my opinion, keep students learning interests is the key of the entire learning journey. That's also what I'm good at, you will always feel comfortable to talk with me.

I honestly think Wendy is one of the best Mandarin teacher's out there. It is clear that teaching is her passion. When I talk to her it's like I'm talking to a friend, that's why it is easier for me to learn. She encourages me to ask many questions and doesn't hesitate to provide great examples and phrases to supplement my curiosity. Before the lesson, she sends me a dialogue with vocabulary to review. This is great for me because there is something prepared beforehand so that I can attempt the new material during the lesson. Wendy has developed a great lesson plan for me and I look forward to improving my Mandarin under her tutelage. Thank you Wendy!!

Wendy is a wonderful tutor and has natural teaching abilities. She is a strong communicator and class is always fun, engaging, and exciting. She's very friendly and outgoing, patient, and understanding. In addition, I'm always surprised by the amount of new material we cover during each class, and through the homework and additional resources that accompany every lesson. I would highly recommend Wendy to students that want to accelerate their learning at any level by pushing their limits in a very comfortable and enjoyable way. Thank you, Wendy!

Wendy is an excellent teacher, and her lesson was interesting and enjoyable. During the lesson, she introduced me to a plethora of new vocabulary as we discussed a wide range of topics from cuisine to US history. I highly recommend he to anyone needing to improve their language skills.
