IELTS Simon • 专家教师
IELTS - TESOL认证雅思培训师 I have taught over 10,000 lessons on italki, and I am skilled in teaching both kids and adults. Under my approach, many of my students have achieved fluency, and excellent scores in standardized tests like IELTS and HSK. I have also researched and self-created contents for over 500+ daily scenarios, each dialogue is specially designed, so grammar structures are taught naturally through the dialogues, to ensure easy understanding. These topics pretty much cover every possible scenario in life, so you can be sure that you would reach a near native level of vocabulary after learning them.

Patient and supportive teacher with 8+ years of experience teaching Chinese 06/2016 - 09/2018. I used my spare time to teach Chinese to primary school students in China. This experience taught me more about students' psychology and how to get their attention so that they could learn more. 11/2018 - 05/2020, I began to work in an after-school tutoring program. I taught junior high school students Chinese and politics and did some management work. 06/2020, I started working on Italki. I have taken classes with students from more than 20 countries and completed nearly 3,000 classes. In the future, I will continue this work and constantly improve my teaching level to help more people speak Chinese fluently and understand China better.

Angela
Certified Mandarin and Cantonese Teacher with 7+ years of teaching experience Teaching approach: 🌸I prioritize patience while encouraging my students to speak confidently in either Mandarin or Cantonese. 🌸To facilitate learning, I provide books or study materials along with lesson notes after each session. Additionally, being fluent in English allows for effective communication during lessons. Student outcomes: ✅My instruction focuses on developing proficiency across the four language acquisition skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing). ✅By fostering a love for learning Mandarin or Cantonese within my students, they become more confident users of the language.

My lessons& teaching style: 🎯Objective-oriented Set a clear objective and then divide it into several small stage goals. Based on your current level, personalized learning program will be developed. Then all we need to do is to focus on achieving milestones and the completion of your objective in the end. Chinese-learning is a process in which you will gain the coherent and pleasant joy. 📚Student-centered Generally I don’t dominate the conversation or do all the talking. It’s suggested to follow my lead, think actively, raise a question and speak up. Taking a more directive role and increasing the output can definitely build your confidence and improve the communicating skills in Chinese.

Certified Chinese Teacher helping students break the language barrier and gain confidence ☆ I have been helping my students learn Chinese and English for years. ☆ English is a non-tonal language. Thus, it sounds very different from tone languages such as Mandarin Chinese or Cantonese. In tone languages, pitch (the degree of highness or lowness of a tone) is used to distinguish word meaning. So a word said with high pitch may have a different meaning than the same word said with a low pitch. ☆ In English, much information is carried by the use of auxiliaries and by verb inflections: is/are/were, eat/eats/ate/eaten, etc. Chinese, on the other hand, is an uninflected language and conveys meaning through word order, adverbials or shared understanding of the context.

Beginner, Conversation, HSK, Business, Graded reader writer I don't rely heavily on textbooks when planning lessons. Instead, the textbook is used as a guide for students, and I write original stories to complement the material. I offer you my best help to learn pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, colloquial Chinese, reading and writing. The most efficient way to learn a foreign language is to talk to the native speaker. I can use English or Spanish to explain Chinese expressions, grammar points and other complicated concepts to beginner if necessary.
