About Me

I’m Dawn from China. With over 10 years of teaching experience, dual Master's degrees in China and the UK, and a gentle, encouraging teaching style, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing students from all walks of life and all age groups succeed in learning Chinese, with a 100% success rate in passing the HSK Level 5 exam.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of teaching a diverse range of students—from overseas university students in China to high school students in South Korea, and GCSE students, diplomats, company employees, and retirees in the UK. I’ve also enjoyed teaching very young children, making learning fun for even two-year-olds. Teaching has truly been a passion of mine, and I find it incredibly rewarding.

Master’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language from Nanjing University provided me with a solid foundation in Chinese language teaching while Master’s degree in Education and Professional Studies from King’s College London equipped me with more international teaching methodologies.

My students often appreciate how I naturally guide them to speak, gently correcting their mistakes while constantly encouraging them. I also design targeted questions in class to help them grasp the knowledge more effectively.

I am a native speaker of Mandarin from PRC with high level teaching certification. I'm teaching new begginers how to learn quickly and pass kinds of exams both in China and UK. Also an expert for high level students or reachers to write modern Chinese essays well.

I am a native Mandrine Chinese speaker and aslo a student who is currently undertaking a Masters course in university. I was schooled in China for more than eighteen years before coming to UK, therefore I have a very good understanding of Chinese culture as well as the language. I had years experience in teaching Chinese and English in my spare time when I was in China and after I moved here.

I would like to help someone who already has some basic knowledge in Mandarin and would like to focus on certain aspects (i.e speaking, grammar, writing), or if they need help with understanding Chinese novels, or you just need someone to practice speaking with, I can be a good help for that. As I said above, I am a student myself so I completely understand the difficulty of learning a new language, I am flexible in the ways of teaching, just let me know your goals and I am sure we can work out how we can do this so it will benefit you the most.

Please don't be hesitate to contact me if you are interested or if you want to know more about myself and how I can help with learning Mandarine Chinese.

Thanks.

This is a place where we exchange languages. Please feel free to make mistakes while learning! If you’re looking for someone to chat in Mandarin/ Japanese, you're at the right place! We can even sing and play some easy games. My aim is for you to enjoy the language, not just studying with textbooks or dictionaries. Of course, if you prefer to do it in more of a serious way, which involves a lot of listening, speaking, reading and writing, that’s also fine.

I'm from Rome but I have a clean articulated Italian accent and clean diction. If you need to work on your conversation skills, I can help you reduce your accent, improve fluency and also use the Italian hand gestures!

I’m from Rome and am fluent in Italian, English and Mandarin Chinese. Previously studied in Italy for 5 years, I improved my Chinese translation skills while taking a double BA in Mandarin Chinese and Art History at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (SOAS). Due to my interest in Chinese language and culture, I had the opportunity to live and study in Beijing for several years. I passed the Chinese Proficiency Test HSK5, and now self-studying for HSK6 (top level).

Don't worry if you are a total beginner, an expert or in the middle, my teaching method is based on active conversation supported by grammar exercises, quizzes and everyday phrases to help you get the most out from the first lesson. The post-session exercises will be tailor made according to your level and needs. You will be followed both online and offline: I will be always open for questions before and after the lesson and actively helping with the most suitable study method for you.

My students are mainly English native speakers, but I'm able to teach Italian also to Mandarin Chinese speakers.

Cantonese is the spoken Chinese language used in Hong Kong and several provinces in China. It is not an easy language but it is very useful especially for those of you who are looking to further your career or development in Hong Kong, a glamorous international city.

Born and bred in Hong Kong, I am native in this language and I will be able to teach my beginner students basic words, strokes if needs be, the 9 tonalities, and the pronunciation of every new word. We'll start with words, and then vocabularies, and further, grammar, sentence structure to formulate simple sentences.

My teaching style is casual. I believe that practicing is the key to perfecting any skills not least languages, and I am passionate about having intriguing conversations with people from a variety of diverse backgrounds.

This is a class for everyone who is interested to learn Mandarin Chinese. The tutor is a Chinese postgraduate student at King's College London, offering bilingual tutoring, which will make you learn faster and more efficiently. Just step in and learn Chinese with a whole lot of fun!

This course begins with daily conversations and gradually progresses to learning about traditional Chinese culture, while also offering Chinese writing lessons. We not only help students master practical Mandarin, but also immerse them in cultural experiences such as calligraphy, and traditional festivals. Through interactive online learning, including role-playing, and fun games, students will practice Mandarin and writing skills in real-life scenarios. The course is suitable for beginners and those who wish to improve their language skills while deepening their understanding of Chinese culture. With a flexible online format, students can efficiently learn at their own pace.

As a passionate native Mandarin speaker with 5+ years of teaching experience in this language, I will offer you an authentic and immersive learning experience through my carefully crafted lessons with patience and enthusiasm.
