Master Conversational Chinese in No Time with a Native

As a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and a polyglot myself, I am skilled in keeping the interest of my students and helping them speak foreign languages naturally in the shortest amount of time. Learning languages should be fun, and not dull and textbook-based! I advocate the teaching style of simulating practical day-to-day situations.

I can teach you speaking and listening and/or reading and writing based on your needs. I teach both pinyin and zhuyin, and both traditional and simplified characters. I have a very friendly and extroverted personality, so you don't have to worry about being bored or wasting your money. Pick me and you will not be disappointed!

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it. I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature. Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.
