💯My lessons & teaching style

🏅(1)Learn Mandarin Systematically(Use textbook)

This course is for students who want to learn Mandarin systematically. In view of the basic and important role of Pinyin in Mandarin, the general knowledge of Pinyin will be taught in the first period, including the pronunciation of initials, finals, different tones, and the most common rules(If you have already know Pinyin, we could jump to the next step). Then you move to the next period, and the HSK textbooks 1 to 3 are recommended as the learning material. You will learn the most common-used words, phrases, sentence patterns, characters, and some interesting knowledge of Chinese culture. Besides, considering Chinese is a tone language, the pronunciation practice is provided throughout the whole learning process. After this period’s learning, you will master about 900 characters and over 1500 words, and your Chinese level will reach to B1, which means that you possess the basic communicative skills to live and travel in China.

🏅(2)Spoken Chinese Course(Use textbook)

This course is for the people who could speak some Chinese and hope to enlarge their Chinese vocabulary or improve their speaking. It is designed to meet the requirements for daily social communication, and focuses on the training of listening and speaking skills.

================================================

Book a trial lesson with me and let’s talk about your goals and ambitions. In this lesson, I'll assess your level and get a better understanding of your needs. You'll also find out about me and my teaching style.

I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Every lesson comes with my custom bilingual notes (Chinese + pinyin + English), so reviewing after class is easy. Lessons are 30–50 minutes, held online via Zoom or Google Meet.

Mandarin Chinese is one of the most influential languages nowadays, and learning how to use Chinese like a native speaker will enable you to work with Chinese speakers, make international friends, and broaden your horizons. However, with its complexity, many people give up on learning Chinese easily. My job is to strengthen your Chinese learning skills and make sure you are accompanied on this long journey.

In this personalized class, you can choose to learn writing, speaking, listening, and reading. You can even choose if you want to learn simplified, traditional characters, or only pinyin. With a certified teacher who once taught at National Taiwan University, you will be learning with efficiency and accuracy.
