My lessons are designed to be engaging, interactive, and tailored to meet each student’s unique goals and learning style. Whether you’re a beginner learning the basics of Chinese or an advanced learner aiming to refine your skills, I will create a personalized learning plan to help you succeed.

Each lesson typically starts with a quick review of previous material to reinforce learning, followed by the introduction of new content. I like to balance structured teaching with dynamic, real-world practice. For example, we might focus on grammar and vocabulary in one part of the lesson, then shift to conversational exercises, role-playing, or discussing real-life scenarios in the other.

The content of the lessons depends on your goals. If you’re preparing for exams like HSK, we’ll focus on reading, writing, listening, and speaking, with plenty of practice questions and mock tests. If your aim is conversational fluency, we’ll prioritize pronunciation, tone accuracy, and cultural nuances to help you sound natural and confident. I also incorporate authentic materials like news articles, videos, and Chinese idioms to give you a deeper understanding of the language and culture.

My lessons are highly interactive. I encourage students to ask questions, participate in discussions, and practice speaking as much as possible. I also provide constructive feedback throughout the process to help you improve and stay motivated.

As a native Chinese speaker from Beijing, I bring a strong command of standard Mandarin, certified with a Grade 2A in Mandarin Proficiency. I also hold a Chinese Language Teacher Qualification Certificate, ensuring professional teaching standards. During my undergraduate years, I worked as a private tutor and volunteered to teach Chinese in underprivileged communities, which gave me valuable experience in working with students of various ages and levels. Additionally, I’ve taught Chinese informally to foreign friends, which helped me understand the challenges non-native speakers often face.

My goal is to create a supportive and enjoyable learning environment where you can build confidence and make steady progress. Learning Chinese might seem daunting at first, but with the right guidance and encouragement, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve!
