🎯Chinese for Beginners | 💼Business Chinese | 📊Pro Economic Background | ✨Experienced Tutor Hi there! I'm Di, and you can call me Joy too. I graduated from one of the top finance and economics universities in China, majoring in Economic-oriented English. I gained years of experience in finance roles at multinational corporations after graduation, and now I’m a language tutor. I have a range of hobbies, including traveling, photography, watching movies, reading, writing, and playing the violin/ukulele. My passion for teaching grew from a core belief: language is more than a communication tool—it’s a cultural bridge. As a culture lover, I’m eager to share Chinese culture and learn about yours. As an experienced language tutor, I excel at creating a relaxed, interactive learning atmosphere, and integrate diverse teaching tools to deliver immersive lessons. With well-designed engaging activities, I help students learn with joy and build confidence in oral expression. What am I good at? 📚 Linguistic Insight & Support. As an English major, I know where non-native learners struggle and their common mistakes. Therefore, I can create focused strategies to tackle these specific challenges. 💼 Business-Focused Expertise. With a professional economics background, I help business learners master economic terms, communicate fluently in commercial scenarios, and gain insights into Chinese economic contexts and cultural norms. 🌱 Beginner-Friendly Guidance. For Chinese newcomers, I use English when needed to help you get started quickly and feel comfortable.

The classes are really fun and humorous. I have over 10 years of experience in teaching Chinese. Hello everyone, I'm AJ. I'm from Northeast China. I've been an online Chinese teacher for more than ten years. I've taught many students from the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand. My students include both the elderly and children. My classes are mainly conversation-based, helping students enjoy the fun of learning Chinese through chatting. I believe language should be used in daily conversations, and we can learn new words through talking. For kids, I have teaching materials and can start from the very basics. I’ve also taught many children from Hong Kong, so I’m very experienced. If you want to make your Chinese learning really fun, feel free to contact me anytime.

Learn Chinese Easily with Xianshun First of all, I’m a certified Mandarin teacher who has been teaching Mandarin for 6 yrs . I obtained my CTCSOL (Certificate for Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages) from the Confucius Institute — it’s the only certificate that officially qualifies someone to teach Mandarin. I also hold a PSC certificate, which means I speak very standard Chinese with no regional accent. I’m a very patient teacher — that’s why I’ve been teaching Chinese for over six years and I’m still as passionate about it as ever. I treat my students as friends. I’m always curious about them as individuals from different parts of the world, and I love hearing their stories and feelings expressed in Chinese.

I'm here to help all level learners to improve their Chinese faster. ✍️For beginners, my English is fluent, so I can use that as a medium language to explain the grammar points and new vocabulary to help you understand better and solve your questions more efficiently; ✍️For intermediate and advanced learners, I think the fastest way to scale new heights is to practice with a native, learning common phrases and colloquial sayings that you can't find in any textbooks.

a digital nomad traveling around the world My name is Xia Li,Shelly, a digital nomad traveling around the world. I especially enjoy chatting with people from different places, and I love sharing my language with those who are interested in Chinese. This is one of the greatest joys of my travels! I can talk about all kinds of topics, from light to deep, from ants to the universe. I’m very open to making friends, and you can share anything you want with me. I’m genuinely curious about how people who are different from me think, how they live, and what kinds of worries they have. I believe that when learning any language, the most important thing is not thinking too much but speaking as much as possible. Gradually, it becomes somethi I have previously tutored the following students: 1. Chinese primary school students (as a private tutor) 2. An Italian friend who had already been learning Mandarin for several years and wanted to improve his pronunciation I tend to keep conversations with students relaxed and encourage them to speak more. I provide corrections appropriately based on each student’s language-learning goals.

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.
