Experienced Chinese mandarin tutor from Taiwan- simplified/traditional

From 63 C$ /h

Nihao! Are you interested in learning Chinese? Have you been looking for an efficient and fun way to grasp it? I can help you!

Chinese is one of the most used languages in the world and a good command of Chinese can open many doors to career, studies and cultural exposure.

I have been teaching Chinese to several English and French native speakers in the past four years. I helped them with speaking, characters recognising, writing, listening, reading and exam preparations. Most of my students were MBA students developing their career in China. Knowing that Chinese is fundamentally different from European languages, I have found way to come around and explain the language in your perspective. And I am very excited to help you in this progress!

I like to teach Chinese in real life settings. Depending on the student’s level, the class can take place in a bookstore, a park, a super market, a Chinese restaurant, where we will have conversations in Chinese. On the other hand, if you are keen to polish your writing and reading, I also have a set of materials to help you. Everything will be tailor made for your level, area of interest and adjustments will be made to motivate your learning.

Are you motivated? Let’s give it a try and make yourself known to the world as a Chinese speaker!

Role plays, debates, language challenges - everything is designed to encourage you to actively participate and develop your language skills in a dynamic way.

Finally, fun! Learning Chinese doesn't have to be boring or monotonous. With me, each class is an adventure full of surprises and discoveries. Games, fun activities, songs and even humorous anecdotes are there to make your learning as fun as it is productive.

Good day, my name is Mike. I come from Shanghai, China. I'm now studying at Shanghai University.
Chinese is the language of the east, connecting people from many nations.

Does Chinese scare you? The tones, the characters, such a different grammar... You might not know where to start.
Good news: With the right method, it's much less intimidating than it seems! So don't hesitate to contact me!

Before you go any further, let me introduce myself.
I come from Shanghai, China. I got 138(A+) out of 150 in English GaoKao.
I have no problem in English communication at all, and thus I ranked top 0.1% in the English contest for senior high school students in Shanghai, surpassing more than 15 contestants from the Top 4 elite high schools, which includes Shanghai High School. Surprised? That's true.
I have been teaching Chinese down-to-earth in offline training institutions for over 3 years as a professional teacher.
Besides, the HSK exam might be helpful to you(e.g. for overseas students in China/for foreigners working in China).
An organized, systematic course for HSK prep is also free to go!

I offer grammar lessons, conversation practice and/or exam preparation through dynamic and practical classes.
Moreover, if you wish to have a firm grip on this language, thinking in Chinese rather than just reciting the grammar rules is quite crucial.
Anyway, if you're looking for a friendly, patient and dedicated teacher, I'd be delighted to help you achieve your goals!

My methodology is as follows(may not all be included, as your needs go first):
1. I can show the examples of certain pronunciations/tones to you and you can read after me if you want.
2. I can provide you with vivid conversations and fulfill your curiosity by Q&A interactions.
3. I can present you the past papers of HSK and analyze them if you wish.
4. Instead of giving you homework, I hope that you can search more interesting videos and passages from the web, based on your own preference.

My approach combines teaching and mentoring, and I take a holistic approach to ensure improvements in all aspects of a student's development, so no worries at all!

It's okay and normal that my students come from all walks of life. As long as you are willing to learn, there is a way.
I believe that interest is the best teacher, so I'll try my best to prepare before classes and make them effective to students.

Through my own experiences of overcoming obstacles and achieving success, I’m passionate about helping others do the same. Let’s work together to ensure you reach your full potential, both academically and personally!

Do you want to learn Chinese for travel, to work with China, to prepare for a professional project, or simply to communicate better in everyday life?

I offer Mandarin Chinese lessons fully adapted to your level, your objectives and your pace. We can work on conversation, pronunciation and tones, vocabulary, grammar, listening and reading comprehension, but also concrete situations: travel, daily life, professional exchanges or intercultural context.

I place great importance on oral expression and the real-world use of the language. For beginners, we build a solid foundation from the outset; for intermediate or advanced students, lessons can focus on fluency, vocabulary enrichment, and topics tailored to your interests or professional activity.

As a native Chinese speaker with training in translation and natural language processing, I have been teaching for several years to students with very diverse profiles and objectives.
