About Me
italki teacher since Jan 15, 2021Me as a Teacher
I taught high school English for seven years in a public school in China. Following that, I established my own training center, where I taught English to elementary school students, teenagers, and adults for eight years. Currently, I am working in a public school in the U.S. as a Mandarin aide, assisting classes from kindergarten to 12th grade. I also teach Mandarin online to international learners. Teaching is my passion, and I take pride in tailoring my methods to suit each student’s unique needs. My goal is to help you achieve success in learning Chinese. Trust me—you’ll be pleasantly surprised by your progress!My lessons & teaching style

Shi Laoshi is professional and kind. She is great at explaining things. The lessons are well-tailored to my level. I always learn a few great new words to use from our Oral Chinese Practice lessons.

Ivy was very helpful. She quickly identified which language domains I needed more improvement on, and focused in on those. I will definitely be ordering more lessons in the future!

Ivy Shi is an excellent teacher, and her lesson was challenging, interesting and enjoyable. During the lesson she asked me a plethora of questions pertaining to a particular topic that I selected, and corrected my enunciation of certain words. I highly recommend Ivy to anyone wanting to improve their speaking and listening skills.

Ivy has been a great teacher. We are working from a textbook and review new vocabulary and sentences every week with listening and speaking skills. She is very professional. I would highly recommend her as a teacher.
