A Little About Me
Hello! I’m Miao, a certified Chinese teacher with a passion for helping learners unlock the beauty of Mandarin. I hold a degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL) from Shanghai International Studies University and am certified in Putonghua (Level II) and English (TEM-8). With two years of teaching experience, I specialize in HSK preparation for adults, focusing on practical communication to ensure students can confidently use Chinese in real-life situations.Me as a Teacher
My Experience
My teaching journey began in college, where I:
- Taught students from Switzerland, Pakistan, and the US in exchange programs.
- Worked as a teaching assistant at a bilingual international school.
- Conducted online classes for Thai children.
These experiences have honed my ability to adapt to diverse learners.My lessons & teaching style
My Teaching Approach
- Customized Lessons: Tailored to your goals - whether for study, work, travel, or personal interest.
- Interactive & Systematic: Emphasis on speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, with scaffolding to make learning natural and effective.
- Flexible Materials: Primarily HSK-based, but I supplement with other resources as needed. The materials I’m using with my students are: HSK, Developing Chinese, New Target Chinese Spoken Language, New Silk Road Business Chinese, videos or contexts from Xiaohongshu, weibo, news and dramas/movies.
- Bilingual Support: English can be used as a bridge language initially.My teaching material
