Hi everyone, I'm Sei :) I was born in China and grew up in Japan. I love traveling, learning and teaching languages!
I quit my job as an IT project manager at the end of 2016, and became a world traveler! I've traveled to most of the countries in Southeast Asia and a lot of countries in Europe (teaching online and locally at the same time). Currently I'm living in Germany and learning German.
みなさん、こんにちは!せいです。私は中国で生まれ、日本で育ちました。今はドイツに住んでいて、ドイツ語を勉強しています。母語は中国語と日本語ですが、英語も話せます。なので、この3つの言語を使って、レッスンをすることができます。私のレッスンでは決まった形式はなく、あなたの目標、目的、学習スタイル、それから今のレベル等に応じて、柔軟にレッスンスタイルを変えています。そしてYouTube、新聞記事、面白いウェブサイト等をうまく活用しながら、いかに自然に話すかということに重点をおいて、レッスンを進めています。一緒に楽しくレッスンをしましょう!
Me as a Teacher
I like working one-on-one with students because each lesson is different and dynamic. My lessons are always adapted to the students’ needs, such as building up the foundation for a new language, practicing daily, business conversation, or preparing for job interviews or presentations. After teaching more than a thousand lessons, I feel comfortable and confident to teach all levels, different learning styles and purposes. I’m native in Chinese and Japanese. I also speak English fluently, so I can use each language to teach.
大家好!我叫史茜玉。我在中国出生、在日本长大。我的母语是中文和日语、我也会说英语。所以我可以用这三种语言来上课。我的课会特别轻松愉快(^^)很期待在网上和大家见面!
My lessons & teaching style
In our lessons, we will focus on the language that you need - with LOTS OF SPEAKING practice. I like to use the communicative style of teaching which means I will correct your grammar and pronunciation as you talk. For Japanese learners, I often use Genki textbook. I will also provide different materials (YouTube, newspaper, interesting websites).
If you…
★want to learn a new language from scratch,
★want to have a clear and natural accent and pronunciation,
★want to speak fluently, naturally and confidently in a foreign language,
★want to practice business conversation in a formal manner (including job interview),
★want someone to review or translate your writings,
you are very welcome!

Teacher’s pick
たのしです!i am a super beginner, but sei was able to parse throughout our first hour where exactly i am in a detailed sense. she was very dynamic and adaptable, which is a quality not a lot of teachers have—some need to stick to the lesson plan regardless. already in the first hour i was really challenged & had the opportunity to make a lot of mistakes (and learn from them). she seemed to pick up easily on what to ask about next in order to teach me new grammar & i admired that she assigned homework, because i think i have to work really hard to get to the level of conversational that i want to be at in the time frame that i am hoping for. she wasn't at all afraid to correct me and was patient for me to try and solve things on my own, both of which are skills i appreciate, even though i have to swallow my sense of urgency and power through some embarrassing moments haha. どうもありがとうございました!
For my first introduction into Mandarin, Sei was awesome! She was patient and it was exceptionally informative. I was a little intimidated and apprehensive before the lesson, but Sei eased my mind and made me want to learn more. THAT is the difference between a teacher that merely dictates and a teacher that creates and nurtures an environment which is engaging & entertaining. It's no wonder why Sei has a 5 star rating.

Thanks for today's lesson Sei-san. I've enjoyed practicing te-kureru, te-morau and learning all the different patters.
Looking forward to the next lesson :)
