Hi there! I’m Dennis, a passionate and certified professional Chinese teacher with over 5 years of experience teaching students from 7 years old to adults across the globe! I love sharing the beauty of the Chinese language while exploring creative, interactive ways to make learning fun. I hold a CTCSOL certificate (Certificate for Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages), which validates my professional teaching skills. I also have a Mandarin Proficiency Test Grade A certificate, ensuring my pronunciation is accurate and standard.Me as a Teacher
Over the years, I have taught more than 100 students from countries like the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and France. I currently teach HSK standard courses to middle school students at a European international school. In addition, I teach Mandarin to teenagers in an American online language school. I have much experience teaching adults of different levels and ages. My experience as a management consultant and government officer responsible for investment promotion makes me competent at teaching business Chinese and have insight into the Chinese market and business norms. Passing CFA level 1 equipped me with sufficient knowledge of finance and economics.My lessons & teaching style
Student-Centered: My classes use a blend of communicative, project-based, scene and task-based approaches, and Total Physical Response (TPR) techniques. This dynamic mix ensures that every lesson is engaging, interactive, and tailored to your learning style. I incorporate the communicative approach and project-based learning to align with ACTFL standards, ensuring that students can use Chinese in real-life situations.
Bilingual Support: Smooth transitions between English and Chinese for absolute beginners.
Customized lessons: Tailor lessons to your needs, whether it’s mastering pronunciation, preparing exams, communicating for family/business, refining your skills, exploring Chinese culture.My teaching material

Excellent teacher! Excellent class! Dennis was very prepared for the lesson and had interesting teaching material. He was very patient and did an excellent job making corrections and explaining different grammar points. He was able to assess the current level and make a learning plan for future progress. I highly recommend this teacher!
