My name is Ken and I'm Chinese. I'm eager to help you improve your Chinese and understanding of Chinese culture, via Italki.
I have a degree in Chinese language and literature. I have a keen interest in classical Chinese culture, especially pre-Qin culture. I also like Tang poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu and novels from the Ming and Qing dynasties very much. If you like Chinese culture as much as I do, I'm sure we'll find many topics of common interest to have a conversation about. It would be my honor to have the opportunity to help you with your Chinese studies.

Me as a Teacher
Chinese is a very attractive language, it has a good rhythm, beautiful handwriting, what's more, there is a story behind every Chinese character. The evolution of Chinese characters is the history of China. Therefore, if you want to learn Chinese fully, you must understand The history and culture of China.
My Mandarin level is grade 1 b. This level is second only to that of a professional broadcaster . So if you want to practice pronunciation and dialogue training, I would be your best candidate.
My lessons & teaching style
Learning a new language is a long-term process, and you can only see results if you stick with it. If you need someone to help you improve your Chinese level and conversational ability, I'm ready to be patient and enthusiastic, you are always welcome to my class, thank you!

Exceptional lesson! Not only provided useful feedback and review of my Chinese, helped educate me about Chinese history and culture, and learn things I wouldn’t find in one of my learning Chinese textbooks

Thank you Ken, it’s always a great pleasure to talk with you. The time flies past in the lessons. I am remembering more vocabulary and my confidence in listening and speaking has improved a lot.
I highly recommend Ken as an excellent and encouraging teacher. He speaks slowly and clearly and motivates you to talk about interesting topics and share ideas. I have learned so much about Chinese history and culture.

Ken is an excellent tutor, I highly recommend him. He is always on time, patient and good humoured. His Chinese accent is also very standard and clear. It's rare to find such a good male teacher. 5 stars!
