Me as a Teacher
I know chinese is a difficult language, i am very encouraging and patient with my students. I’m a very flexible teacher. Everybody's learning need is unique, so I tend to have a detailed conversation with my students in advance to get to know them better before I decide on my teaching methods...my teaching strategy is focus on studying real conversation, speak like a native speaker
My lessons & teaching style
The topics I cover vary depending on the interests of the students. Most of the time students opt to discuss daily things as well as current events. Teaching lessons depend on the student's level and include free speech, articles and videos. I definitely emphasize pronunciation and conversational practice. Needless to say my teaching style is very relaxed and takes into account the wants and needs of the students.

I love that I'm learning a lot of useful expressions along the natural flow of the conversation. I never feel rushed, and I feel comfortable going over the same sentence multiple times to familiarize myself with the structure and practice my pronunciation. Carol is also very good at bringing up very relevant synonyms or phrases related to certain words that comes up during the conversation. Thanks always for the pleasant class :)

Carol is a great teacher and I consider myself very lucky to meet her on italki. We have been doing conversation classes for some time now and even though I am a beginner, I see that I am learning, my speaking skills are getting better and better and after each class I feel that I can really learn Chinese. She has great energy, a very passionate and patient teacher, and her vast knowledge of Chinese culture and history is a big plus.

Since I started having classes with Carol I finally felt progress in my speaking skills building up gradually, which never happend before in 2 years of learning Chinese. I was about to give up but decided to give it one more chance and was lucky because Carol is a perfect tutor. She is patient and helpful, very skilled in terms of teaching, has good command of English and can speak about anything you like. In my case, a combination of free speaking and preparation for HSK 4 is a perfect mix. I would recommend Carol 100%!

Carol is super helpful and great at explaining things. I learn so much in these sessions, plus the fun conversations motivate me to learn material beyond what textbooks offer.
