CTCSOL certified, Chinese Native, Teaching Chinese & Help exams & Job interviews

From 66 C$ /h

I am native in Cantonese and Mandarin and certified with CTCSOL (Certificate for Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages). I would love to give interactive and fun Chinese tutoring with a student-centred approach and to help students prepare for their exams.
I am also advanced in English (IELTS 7.5), Japanese (N2), and basic Spanish. Regarding my academic background, I finished a B.S. in Applied Psychology at the University of Jinan, China; an M.S. in Cognitive Neuroscience in second language development at the East China Normal University, China; and a 2-year graduate program study in Cognitive Neuroscience in language development with dyslexia at the University of Connecticut, USA. While I was doing my research projects, I had the opportunity to teach Chinese to participants from different countries (UK, USA, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Pakistan, Colombia, Ecuador, and Costa Rica) and the research work was published as “How characters are learned leaves its marks on the neural substrates of Chinese Reading. (2022) eNeuro 9 (6)”.
I have always been passionate about studying and teaching a language, and I did postgraduate programs and academic research in this field. I have studied and worked as a neuroscience researcher in the USA for 2 years and in China for 5 years. Although I have little teaching experience in teaching Chinese, I had various teaching experiences. I am currently taking CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) courses in which I am training to teach English in a student-oriented approach to speakers of other languages (all adults). I was a teaching assistant for university students (ages 18-22) in the MATLAB course. Besides, I also worked as a psychological teacher in primary school (ages 6-12).
In terms of working and living abroad, I have worked abroad for 4 years. I have rich travel experiences in America, Latin America and Asia. I travelled and lived in Europe back in 2019.
I like mixology, reading books, and spending time with the cats in my free time. I am also into running training and am currently training for my second marathon. I like travelling, seeing nature, and meeting interesting people, which also comes along with my current lifestyle as a digital nomad. I have been travelling/studying/working in the U.S., Central America, and South America for the past five years.

I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.

I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.

I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

💯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.
