The class is for those who are interested in Chinese Culture and want to learn Mandarin as a key to understanding more about Chinese Culture. I am a native Mandarin speaker and got the Grade One Level B of the Putonghua Proficiency Test ( 普通話水平測試 一級乙等). I can teach from beginner to advanced level. I can also customize the teaching materials to fit your needs.
Extra information
As I studied my first degree in Japan Women University before immigrating to Hong Kong, I am also a fluent Japanese speaker, can speak pretty good Cantonese and fair English. So I can use these three different languages as the teaching language.

About Me
Hi, this is Freyia. I was born and grow up in mainland China. I am a native Mandarin speaker.

I grew up in Beijing and has been living in Hong Kong for 20 years. I got my Putonghua teaching certificate at Hong Kong Chinese University and has been awarded the first-class grade in the National Putonghua Proficiency Test. I have been teaching Mandarin for over 15 years and have also worked as a Mandarin Chinese curriculum designer and instructor.

My young students are mainly from ISF, CIS, VAS, GSIS, FIS, HKIS, AISHK, Kettett School, Hong Kong Academy, ESF, Hong Kong Japanese School. Besides the IB, I am familiar with IGCSE Chinese, as well as AP Chinese requirements.

My adult courses are carried out in accordance with the HSK levels from Beginner onwards. I am using the good HSK framework, to help students progress milestone by milestone.

I teach any degree of students, so even if you are a beginner, don't worry.

In our first class, I will spend a little time asking about your needs, and what class you want to take, which allows me to find the right materials to make textbooks.

I will design a course according to the needs of the students. Whether it is listening, speaking, or reading, I will make a textbook for you, so you can review it after class, which will make you progress quickly. If you have any questions during class or after class, please feel free to tell me.

In the course of learning, I will use the example sentence instead of the explanation, so that you can clearly know the context in which the sentence can be used.

You will have a textbook for each class, I will also give you homework after class if you want to practice more.

You are also welcome to take a conversation with me. You can talk about any topic you are interested in, which will greatly enhance your conversational skills.

Hey there, I’m Amy, a Chinese teacher with experience teaching Mandarin. I was born and raised in Beijing. My accent is very clear and easy to understand. With the growth of teaching time, I found this work attracts me more and more. In my opinion, language learning is a venture full of fun and of course, sometimes with difficulties. But all your efforts are worthy. I have helped over 100 students whether to get their dream jobs or the big promotion or just to improving their Chinese for their trip.

I will plan your own personal lesson plan. Including daily conversations, business language, job interviews, preparation for exams. My method is conversational and based on real life so you can relate the language to your life and use your own examples.
I can’t wait to share you how beautiful my language is! See you in my class.

Aside from teaching, I like to watch movies and traveling.I have been to UK, Germany, Poland, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia and so on.

大家好!我是Amy,一名经验丰富的中文老师。我在北京长大,口音清晰易懂。我很喜欢教学工作,在我看来,学习语言非常有趣。虽然有时候会遇到困难,但是都是值得的。我帮助过上百名学生找工作,升职,或者旅行。
关于学习方面,我会帮助你制定学习计划,学习日常用语,商务用语,帮助你通过面试,中文考试等。我的学习素材贴近生活,你可以举一反三。
我已经迫不及待跟你分享我的母语了,课堂上见!
除了教学之外,我喜欢看电影,旅行。我去过英国,德国,波兰,马来西亚,印度尼西亚,俄罗斯等,喜欢交来自不同国家的朋友。

Whether you're a trade or finance professional or a language enthusiast captivated by Cantonese culture and cuisine, my lessons are thoughtfully structured to meet your needs. Together, we'll explore everything from speaking and reading to mastering idioms and perfecting pronunciation, all enriched with intriguing cultural and historical insights. Each session blends practical skills with engaging content, carefully tailored to your learning goals—whether you’re just starting or advancing your skills.

For Beginners:
Start with the essentials—about ten characters per class. You'll quickly read simple sentences without feeling overwhelmed. By lesson 10, you'll tackle short Chengyu (proverb) stories. Yes, drills are necessary, but pop quizzes and fun homework keep it engaging and effective.

After 20 Lessons:
You'll know a few hundred characters and handle basic conversations. Practice everyday scenarios, like ordering food or giving directions, to build confidence and real-world skills.

Advanced Learners:
Expect interactive discussions, grammar finesse, and pronunciation tweaks. Explore topics like stories, news, or movie clips, making language alive and authentic. Mistakes? Bring them on—they're key to growth.

I focus on fostering independence so you can continue learning beyond our sessions. Drawing from my multilingual background (Cantonese, English, French), I create connections across languages to enhance your journey.

With materials ranging from textbooks to movies, every lesson is rich, relevant, and fun. Ready to begin your language adventure? Let’s go! 🌟
