Hi! I' m Clara.I'm from China, a native speaker of mandarin.
I majored in English and have passed Mandarin Test during my college days.
I had 1 year of English teaching experience in a training institute, which had taught me patience and how to communicate effectively with students. Besides, I have given Chinese lessons to foreign language learners for more than 400 classes on italki which has given me chance to make friends with people from other countries.
In my spare time, I love travelling, photographing, playing the ukulele, hunting, and sharing ideas with people from different cultures~
Me as a Teacher
I am very passionate about teaching and sharing ideas with people from different cultural backgrounds, and I'd like to create a comfortable environment to encourage my students to speak as much as possible. My class is always interesting and fun. I often use a variety of interesting games, body language, engaging stories, and creative activities to help my students. Do not be afraid to make mistakes, just speak it out! I am always here for your questions and to help you make progress.
My lessons & teaching style
The course on my class can be customized to your needs: Oral practice / Pronunciation Correction / Grammar Correction /Chinese slang and idioms/ Traditional Chinese Culture/ Business Chinese. My classes will always be fun and enjoyable!I'd like to be your friend rather than your teacher. You can share your life and culture with me or talk about any topic that you are interested in. Book my class now and let's learn together!

Clara is always well prepared before our lesson, she has created easy to understand presentations based on the HSK curriculum. I highly recommend her for anyone who would like to learn mandarin in a structured way. We have finished HSK level 1 in a period of 7 months and now we have started level 2. She is very professional and reliable.

Great introductory class! Clara gave me a lot of useful tips for pronunciation and provided a number of helpful guides. I really appreciated that Clara outlined the structure of the class from the beginning and broke the lesson into clear sections with a review at the end. Thank you Clara! :-)
