About Me
italki teacher since Dec 4, 2014Interest topicHistorySports & FitnessFilms & TV Series
I have many interests and hobbies , such as playing basketball , playing ping-pong , traveling , watching NBA . I am a super fan of NBA . I went to America in March 2017 ,and stayed there for half a year. During this half a year , I visited many places in America , like Texas, Utah, Los Angeles , Las Vegas, Yellow Stone National Park , Grand Canyon . I like to talk about many different topics , such as travel , sports , movies , food , festivals and so on .Me as a Teacher
I have been working as a Chinese mandarin teacher for more than 10 years . I like this job very much because it broadened my horizons . I have got the chance to listen to interesting stories of different countries and share my stories with my students . That is really an amazing thing. The more classes I have , the more I love my job . Even though Chinese is a very hard language , most of my students did really well with my help. I have helped many students pass HSK tests and some of them have passed HSK6 test. I have been working as an HSK material writer in www.thechairmansbao.com since 2020. I am very familar with the HSK tests.My lessons & teaching style
1. For beginner students , I usually prepare PDF textbooks for them . We will learn the new words and the texts . After my students already understand the texts , we will make spoken practice . Make sure all of them can speak out that we have learnt .
2. For intermediate and advanced students , we can either use textbooks or just practice different topics.
3. I prefer to use zoom to have classes because it is more stable and it also has a whiteboard on which I can white the new words for my students .
4. I can share all the notes of during the lesson with my students, I can even share google docs.My teaching material

I have been learning Chinese with Teacher Dan for almost eight months now. Today is my 50th lessons and we have finished HSK 6. His classes are always efficient, as he focuses on the key points without wasting any time, and I always feel that I get my money's worth from each lesson. I couldn't be happier with the progress I've made with my pronunciation. Thanks to his great instruction and guidance, my pronunciation has improved greatly.
Even after class, He takes the time to review my homework and is always available to answer any questions that I may have. He is always quick to respond and never makes me feel like I am bothering him. Teacher Dan is truly the best teachers on italki, and I feel so lucky to be his student, and I cannot thank him enough for all he has done for me. I will continue to improve my Chinese skills with him for years!
With his dedication, patience, and expertise, I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their Chinese language skills.

Haven't written a review for a while. We are going through an HSK 5 textbook, almost done, focusing on vocabulary, text and exercises. Everything is good as usually.
