Thanks for checking my profile. I'm Chiu from Guangdong China. I'm glad to be here and meet you guys. My major was Chinese language and Literature, and I've been teaching foreigners Chinese since 2017. (I joined Italki in 2020) To me, teaching Chinese is not just a job, it also helps me make more friends.
Note‼️ Please follow italki's rules on rescheduling and canceling lessons after you book a class. The class will be marked as completed if you are absent. And please do not reschedule more than twice, since it would conflict with other students' bookings.
大家好,我是秋! 我平常喜欢看看书,练练毛笔字。很高兴在这里跟大家见面,希望通过italki这个平台来帮助大家学习汉语,要是能跟大家交上朋友就再好不过了!

Me as a Teacher
I can speak English fluently, so English will be our medium language during the course if necessary. Please leave me a message about what you wish to learn and for how long you have been learning before the class begins.
I have been teaching Chinese Mandarin and Cantonese for 6 years. I have helped students of various age groups and countries learn the languages. With thousands of teaching hours, I'm sure I will be able to help you find the best way to learn.
My lessons & teaching style
1. Beginners: we will start from Pinyin and simple grammar that will be useful in every day situations. Also I will focus on your pronunciation, especially tones as Chinese is a tonal language.
2. Advanced learners: I would like to be strict and correct grammar mistakes. Furthermore, I will help you lead our conversation during the class, which will help you be more confident.
3. Short time users: I will offer you survival Chinese before you go on vacation, a business trip, meeting Chinese friends,or other needs.
4. If you are not sure about your level, I will help you find out and prepare a suitable study plan for you, so that you will have a clear idea of what you're going to learn.

Me and Chill 老师 have found the perfect learning technique for me. The first half of the lesson we chat, talk and catch up about our week. We talk about video’s I’ve watched and Chinese tv shows. I provide screenshots of subtitles of grammar structures/ characters I’m not familiar with and Chill will translate and give other example sentences of how to use the specific character. My listening and conversational Mandarin has improved drastically. I find I can eavesdrop on Chinese conversations outdoors now and understand the majority!
Second half of the lesson we open the HSK books and go through the lessons in there. It keeps up with my reading and every HSK lesson we learn a new grammar structure. I’ve even tried a couple other Mandarin teachers on italki but for me Chill 老师 is the best. I’m so grateful I found Chill at the start of my Mandarin journey. Thank you Chill for your patience and kindness towards your teaching! Let’s keep going! 🇨🇳

I've been taking Cantonese lessons with Chill, on average once every 1-2 weeks for two years, and have gone from novice to being able to carry on conversations about daily life, all thanks to Chill! She is very friendly, organized, and tailors the lesson and materials to your interests and background. We worked our way through one textbook, it took about a year to learn commonly used vocabulary, and now we're working our way through a second textbook with a focus on more advanced grammar. Along the way, Chill has supplemented and reinforced the textbook lessons with lots of additional vocabulary, colloquialisms, and current events topics. I am really happy with my progress, Chill makes learning Cantonese super fun and relatively easy. I look forward to my lessons, the hour just flies by! It also helps to practice speaking at home and review flashcards regularly, but the bestestest help has been the one-on-one tutoring with Chill :)

This was my very first lesson, and I felt safe to take risks and make mistakes, which is essential when learning a new language. I also was provided with some audio materials to practice before our next lesson. Thanks for a fun start!

Very clear and organized!! Excellent lesson, though Cantonese has TOO MANY VOWELS AND TONES 🤣. But that is not Teacher Chiu's fault!

Chill is a great teacher for a beginner in Cantonese. I am learning Cantonese after learning Mandarin and I appreciate being able to learn using the "ladder" technique. I recommend her!
