Mandarin Chinese, Chinese Culture, Speaking Practice
In the recent years, there has been an increased interest in learning Mandarin Chinese because of a rising trend in tourism in China. Although it has been rated one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world, it doesn't have to be for you. If your goal is to learn Mandarin in order to prepare for your next visit to China, please consider taking this lesson with me.
In my lessons, I will discuss basic Chinese characters using pictographs and use every day conversations to teach more practical speaking skills. There will be more emphasis on the exploration of Chinese culture in different regions such as Southern China (Shanghai, Suzhou where I am from) and Northern China (Beijing, Harbin).

Reviews (1)
Excellent first couple of lessons with Yuchen. She made my daughter feel at ease and is helping with understanding of more difficult topics and tasks. Yuchen is very polite and courteous and i will be block booking until exam time.
I am a graduate from Queen Mary University of London with a first class degree with honours in Mathematics and Actuarial Sciences.
Mathematics is an essential subject studied by all students from prep school to GCSE class. Having adequate Maths knowledge also helps students understand science subjects such as Physics and Chemistry. Studying Maths has always been fun for me since I love finding the most efficient way to solve problems. I understand that not all students feel this way and that is why I am here to teach students not only the fundamental methods to solve Maths problems but also how closely related Maths is to our real world.
In my lessons, I will use Key Stage, AQA, and GCE Maths books with sample papers to explain the content thoroughly to my students. I will also offer class notes written by myself specifically for my students to help them grasp the knowledge in a clear layout.
Having completed both my GCSE and A-level studies in the UK, I have firsthand experience of studying and taking these exams and hope to deliver my tips to my students. I am fluent in English although my native language is Mandarin Chinese. Finally, as an older sibling, I have experience assisting my sister the whole way through her GCSE exams. I believe I am patient and eloquent when teaching younger students. I look forward to getting to know my students and helping them ace their upcoming exams.

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare testI 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.
