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

Thanks very much for the Manderin. I really had fun with the conversation. We talked about colours.

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

I really liked Elena during my trial lesson in Canto! I already came into the lesson knowing elementary-level conversational skills. She gauged my level and interests so that we could have conversations about things I was interested in (e.g. Chinese culture, playing mahjong, hanging out with friends during the week) and she said that in our next lessons she can either teach me more about Chinese culture and/or continue talking about hobbies that bring me closer to my heritage. I’m super excited to continue and I haven’t had this much fun and excitement in a long time! I loved that it wasn’t super structured and it was just conversations (but I think the tutor gauges what you need, so structure can change depending on need and skill level). Planning on taking more lessons from her!
