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.

Super Welcoming for Chinese Beginners 😊 Over the past years, I've taught Chinese and English to thousands of students. Teaching Chinese to an American CEO was my most memorable teaching experiences. He was a beginner to Chinese when we started, but now he can communicate effectively with Chinese companies without needing a translator. I also taught English to middle school students. They were very engaged and excited in my class because they always paid a lot attention to either win a game or complete a task. I really enjoy teaching because I can see my students improvements with my help. As a languege learner myself, I believe that having fun in the learning process is very important to keep the motivation up and up.

𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤/𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐃 ✅ I like learning languages and I can speak 2 languages. I like tech stuff and sometimes I like to write something. I like to go for a walk every morning. I watch YouTube every time in bed before I close my eyes, haha. 我喜欢学习语言,会说普通话和英语,我也会说下关话(方言)。我平常喜欢研究科技,会修一点电脑,对编程也有涉猎;有空闲也会写写文章;运动对我来说是必要的,如果不下雨的话,每天都要出去走一圈;对了,看网络视频和阅读也算是我的爱好吧。 I can provide a list of unfamiliar words for every lesson. If you like, homework will also be available. I'm patient, so whenever you don't understand a word or a phrase, I'll try my best to explain it to you. 在Italki上教了2年多了,接触过不少的学生。如果你刚入门学习汉语的话,建议先看书,了解一些基本单词,有一定基础,我们才能更好地学习。在教学中,我比较有耐心,对于学生不懂的地方,我也会详细解释。每节课后,我会提供一份单词表,里面包含了课程中你遇到的生词和例句(作业也可以提供)。 My lesson will cater to your needs. The lesson types are flexible, such as 1) Guiding you when reading out loud, 2) Sharing thoughts and discussing what we've read, 3) Having a casual chat.... I'll leave as much opportunity as possible for you to speak and give you immediate feedback in class if you like. 我的课程比较灵活,可以根据学生的不同需求来定制课程,比如1)朗读课文,让我来纠正发音;2)提前阅读好内容,课上讨论,3)轻松地聊天……我会尽可能地把说话机会留给学生,会提醒你有什么地方说错了。

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.
