Enthusiasm is never absent. **Please contact me before sending me the first lesson request, and also please mind that currently I'm only looking for adult students.** ~~ Hi, I'm 赵(Zhào) 蕾(Lěi). If one omits the top part of 蕾, I will become my brother, since 赵雷 would be a name for boys. That's the magic of Chinese! Just call me 赵 then(or ready for a prize)~ ~~ I have taught 10000+(still counting) sessions both on-line and off-line in Beijing since 2012. As you may have seen in my video, I'm more like a *noisy* and enthusiastic machine rather than a serious tutor, so I tend not to consider myself as a teacher, but a partner wishing to make you relaxed and productive with me. ~~ Join me for a journey!

I have been teaching Chinese since 2016 . I Met most students during the time when I Studied in Japan and working in Singapore. Some of my students learn Chinese from Basic pronunciation ,I teach them very patiently. Some of them can not write Chinese ,I teach them write basic Chinese characters . The others ask me to correct HSK homework or working report, not only correct the mistakes but also find the reason why they made this mistake .The most impressed teaching experience is using role-play to do conversation courses. This part could help students improve their Oral Chinese quickly and effectively.

Learning foreign languages: I've tried to learn a few (French, Japanese and German) so I know that, as students, we all need a lot of dedication, time and efforts but, most importantly, the right teacher. I've taught Chinese to children, high school students and adults: in groups (private language school) or one to one. I've also taught Chinese to a group of monks in Laos.

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.
