Multilingual Mandarin teacher|Fun, patient, interactive|Conversational I hold a TEM-8 Certificate (Test for English Majors, Band 8) and have achieved C1 (Advanced) proficiency in Portuguese. To date, I have accumulated over 500 hours of online Chinese teaching experience. I enjoy communicating with students early on to understand their learning needs, language level, personal interests, and learning style, which allows me to tailor my classes accordingly. I focus on teaching practical vocabulary and expressions that students can immediately apply in their daily lives. In my classes, I typically use photos and mindmaps to present content in a clear and structured way. My approach helps students grasp concepts more logically and facilitates easier memorization.

My teaching philosophy is simple: language learning is about understanding and communication, not memorization. In my classes, I: ✅Help beginners build solid foundations in pronunciation and grammar ✅Use situational dialogues to teach vocabulary and sentence patterns ✅Focus on explaining why Chinese works the way it does I’ve developed practical techniques to help students overcome common difficulties in tones, grammar logic, and speaking naturally. I also integrate Chinese culture, traditions, and stories into lessons, helping students understand not only the language, but the people behind it.

Turn “learning Chinese” into “living Chinese” — let’s make it natural and exciting! 我喜欢语言的优美,能够接纳不同的语言。我很愿意帮助学习者学习更加地道的表达,更加标准的发音,当然,也可以帮助他们更加流畅的阅读等等方面。同时,我也是一个第二语言学习者,我知道在学习的过程中哪些地方是难点,很愿意分享与交流经验与想法。 I appreciate the aesthetics of the Chinese language and am also kind to accept different languages. It’s my honor to help you speak Chinese more fluently and standardly. At the same time, I’m glad to teach you how to express yourself naturally and build vocabulary and read coherently, and so on. By the way, I am also a language learner, so I know where are the hardest part of learning and I am willing to communicate with you about experience and thoughts.

Frequently asked questions

What level of Chinese do I need to have before taking conversational Chinese classes?

Before taking conversational Chinese classes, it’s recommended that you have at least a basic understanding of the language, ideally at a beginner (A1) or lower-intermediate (A2) level. This would include being familiar with basic vocabulary, simple sentence structures, and common phrases. While it’s possible to start conversational lessons as a complete beginner, having some foundation in pronunciation (like tones) and basic characters will make the process smoother and more effective.

Conversational Chinese classes are designed to help you improve speaking and listening skills, so knowing some basic grammar and vocabulary will allow you to participate in conversations more easily. If you’re a beginner, your tutor will likely focus on building your confidence and helping you practice simple conversations. If you’re at a more intermediate level, the focus can shift to more complex sentence structures and deeper discussions.

Can I take online conversational Chinese classes?

Yes, you can definitely take online conversational Chinese classes, and italki is a great platform for this! It offers one-on-one lessons with native Chinese-speaking tutors who can help you practice speaking, improve your listening skills, and build your confidence in real-life conversations. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you can find a tutor who tailors lessons to your specific needs, helping you focus on topics that interest you, like daily life, travel, or business Chinese. Online conversational Chinese classes are highly flexible, allowing you to schedule lessons at times that suit you, and you can learn from the comfort of your own home.

How many classes do I need to take to become fluent in Chinese?

The number of classes needed to become fluent in Chinese depends on several factors, including your starting level, learning goals, and how much time you can dedicate to studying. For beginners, fluency can take several years to achieve, with consistent study and practice. On average, it might take around 600 to 1,200 hours of study to reach conversational fluency, which can equate to about 1-2 years of regular lessons.

However, becoming fluent also involves immersion, practice outside of lessons, and exposure to the language in different contexts. The key is consistency – taking lessons regularly, engaging in conversations, and practicing vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. Additionally, actively using the language in real-world situations will significantly speed up your progress.

Setting specific milestones and working closely with a tutor on conversational practice can help accelerate your learning and give you a clearer idea of how many lessons you might need to become fluent.

Who are the tutors that will be teaching the conversational Chinese classes?

The tutors teaching conversational Chinese classes on italki are native speakers or highly proficient speakers of Chinese, with a variety of teaching backgrounds and expertise. Some tutors are professional language instructors with formal teaching qualifications, while others are informal teachers with extensive experience in helping learners improve their conversational skills. These tutors come from diverse regions where Chinese is spoken, offering a range of accents and dialects (Mandarin, Cantonese, etc.).

Many tutors also specialize in different areas, such as business Chinese, travel vocabulary, or preparing for Chinese language exams. You can choose a tutor based on your personal learning goals, preferences, and their teaching style. Tutor profiles on italki include information about their qualifications, experience, teaching methods, and reviews from other students, helping you select the right match for your conversational practice.

How do I sign up for conversational Chinese classes?
