My name is Dana. You can call me Dana or Zhang laoshi.
I'm a native Chinese speaker from Sichuan Chengdu, where is the hometown of hotpot and panda.
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Chinese for about six years now. I taught foreigners one on one in Chengdu at beginning. Later I came to America teaching kids there for about a year and a half, so I had developed experience in teaching Chinese. I have been teaching Chinese at italki for three years now.
My lessons & teaching style
In my class, we will learn the Daily Chinese conversation, such as go to the hospital, traveling, and shopping. I can also teach kids Chinese. I have materials in Teaching Chinese. You can tell me what you want to learn. I will help you improve your oral Chinese.

Excellent teacher! Took the time to really understand my goals and challenges, and craft an individualized curriculum to help me achieve and overcome them! 张老师很棒!她彻底分析了我中文的漏洞,然后,用着她又热情又严肃的态度,开始帮我攻克我的难关。
