About Me
italki teacher since Oct 8, 2019
You can find my YouTube channel “learn Chinese with Rushan” to see a little bit of my teaching. I specialized in tackling HSK exams , improving your Chinese listening and speaking skills.
I have started teaching Chinese since 2015, when I tutored foreign teaching assistants in university on 1 to 1 base, then in classroom to little kids in Sunday School in UK, and later teaching in private school in Thailand.
And I have already extensively taught online one to one since 2018 part time.
I am attentive, patient, always ready to help, responsible. Other than a language teacher, I also a big language learners, French, Spanish, Korean, also Greek.
Me as a Teacher
1. I believe that teaching is to provide you a good way to learn more by yourself. My goal is to train you to be an independent learner.
2. I like to ask questions a lot during the lessons to make it a bit more challenging for you, "i+1" input.
3. I believe in task-based learning and acquiring a language through reading.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is to teach with multiple examples, is to guide you to think and make sense of the language and logic behind.
I tailor every single lessons for student with different needs and different learning styles and methods.
The lessons will be interesting and practical as I always use everyday life things as example and materials. The materials will be the most authentic one as I write my own materials from everyday counters and inspirations.

Rushan was very supportive and immediately understood my expectation. She provides good explanations and real-life examples which makes it easy to build the bridge between learning and doing.

Rushan is an interesting and creative teacher, and she has fun ideas on how to learn material and to discuss many different topics. I always enjoy our lessons!

1 Chinese (Mandarin) lesson
I booked a trial lesson with Rushan because of all the nice reviews, and I thought her courses looked interesting, but I guess my expectations were too high. It felt like the teacher wasn't interested in getting a new student. She was late for the trial lesson, unprepared and asked me what I wanted to do in the trial lesson, though I was the one who paid for it and expected the teacher to suggest activities to find out more about my level and demonstrate her teaching approach. I don't have a good first impression, so I will keep looking for a teacher.

It's crazy how much useful information she has been able to put into our first two lessons already! I love having so much to practice and use in my daily life already.

I had a really nice, relaxed, and informative first lesson! She taught me to introduce myself and we made a plan for me to record my intro and send it to her.
