About Me
italki teacher since Jun 2, 2020InterestsMedical & HealthcareHistoryTravelSports & FitnessReading
Hello, everyone! I am Elena. I am from Guangzhou, a city in south China.
My Chinese name is Jiaxian; I am a native speaker of Mandarin and Cantonese.
I have been working as a language school teacher in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English for over five years. I mainly teach international students. In the classroom, I teach the language and share cultural and historical knowledge.Me as a Teacher
I already have 5years of experience in online teaching, with certification to teach Chinese and English to adults and children. Also, I have completed IELTS teacher training courses with a certificate.
When I was in New Zealand for a working holiday a few years ago, I realized that learning their language is always the best way to know more about different cultures. That's why I want to help people who learn about the Chinese language and culture. At the same time, I am committed to supporting Chinese students in improving their spoken English and preparing them for studying and working in an English language environment.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is patient, kind, and friendly. We can discuss whatever you need help with, whether reading, writing, listening, or speaking. I like to personalize the content to suit better topics that you are interested in and keep you engaged.
I used to work in the retail and management industry and enjoy communicating with people. We would have many topics for our conversation, such as travel, business, daily life, etc. I hope my class can make you feel comfortable practicing as much as possible.
Materials such as PPT files, website articles, or language videos are provided. In addition, after class, there will have homework to guide your study if you like.My teaching material

I had my first lesson with Elena. We focussed on speaking and improving my use of tones. I would recommend her as a teacher.

Elena has been a great conversation partner and teacher. I have studied Cantonese with her for a couple of months. We sometimes use materials from the Learn to Speak Cantonese textbooks, and sometimes we just chat so that I can practice my speaking. She pretty much exclusively speaks in Cantonese during our lessons, which pushes me to ask for clarification or vocabulary. As somebody who is learning the language to improve communication within my own family, I appreciate that Elena is flexible and helps me find vocabulary that is relevant to my own language-learning needs.
