❤Fun Chinese for Kids now!❤
I’m a native speaker and I have been teaching Chinese for more than nine years. I have taught more than 6,000 sessions at schools and over 7,000 sessions on italki to foreign students from all over the world.
As an experienced Chinese teacher, I know how to use a more scientific method to make your child learn Chinese faster; as a mother, I teach my seven-year-old daughter how to speak Chinese and English fluently as a bilingual (while she is also learning French). Moreover, I have abundant teaching resources to ensure that your child will have a happy learning time and make great progress.Me as a Teacher
I pursued my Master's degree in Guangzhou University, majoring in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL). I also worked as a Chinese teacher at the International Exchange Institute.
After I graduated, I taught at the biggest Chinese tutoring school in Shanghai for three years. In the first year, I taught Comprehensive Chinese, Business Chinese and HSK test preparation, while over the next two years I also worked as a teaching product manager and text book editor; launched a Chinese learning app and published several books about comprehensive Chinese and HSK stimulation tests.My lessons & teaching style
I really love teaching and that's why I have continued to teach Chinese for so many years. I enjoy teaching students from all over the world and I take great satisfaction in seeing them improve in speaking Mandarin!My teaching material

This lesson was very productive and a lot of fun. I learned a lot of very funny and unique phrases. During this lesson, we covered a few grammar structures such as 不仅。。。（也，还，而且），从来，刚 vs 刚才。We also covered some new vocabulary such as 即使，感动，爱情，加班。I will be reviewing the material we went over and I look forward to our next lesson! 谢谢老师！

Li Ying was very patient but challenging enough that I can learn at a good rate without frustration missing this or that in the sentences I say. I am in HSK 2, chapter 11 towards the end now. The speed is good for me and I leave it up to her to decide how fast because I feel she would know best how to maximize learning efficiency.
In addition to pronunciation of book words, sentences and grammar topics, I am repeating sentences to her in Mandarin after she says them in English. This is done to get practice on the new concepts. We worked on comparisons, both positive and negative.
We also discussed new vocabulary words and some other word stress during verbal communication in certain circumstances: for example, hao bu hao, the stress is on the first hao.
Thank you for the lesson, Li Laoshi.
