Me as a Teacher

Practice makes perfect! I taught Mandarin on a part-time basis since 2011. My students are mostly from beginners to intermediate level. Most of them are adults from the UK., Germany, France, etc. I employ different teaching methods and contents based on learners’ levels, interests and progress. I believe the most efficient way to learn Mandarin or any other second language is not to memorize it but to use it in daily communications.

My lessons & teaching style

Before the formal class, we are going to know each other first and discuss class plans, which may fall in one the 4 categories below. (1) Beginners We start with pin-yin first and then move on to daily oral communication. Reading and writing is additional if you are interested, but not required. (2) Free Talks Presentation/discussion on a specific topic. (3) Intermediate Comprehensive listening, reading, writing and speaking in Mandarin. (4) Advanced Speaking and reading like a Chinese. Well, if none of these above meet your needs, I’m happy to personalize class contents based on your interests.
