Online Mandarin Chinese: learn pronunciation from the start (Zhuyin Alphabet)

From 28.29 C$ /h

Bopomofo or Mandarin Phonetic Symbols, also named Zhuyin, is a major Chinese transliteration system for Mandarin Chinese, which is nowadays most commonly used in Taiwanese Mandarin. Although Pinyin system is used worldwild, BUT, it is also confused by Latin alphabet, or even it easily affect the way when we pronounce.

I 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.

Hi! I’m a native Chinese speaker with a degree in English, and I’ve been learning languages for many years through both professional training and real-life, everyday use. Because of this, I understand what language learners find difficult — and how to make the process clearer, easier, and more enjoyable.

My lessons focus on practical Chinese, confidence-building, and learning in a relaxed way. Whether you want to improve speaking, pronunciation, listening, or understand how Chinese is actually used in daily life, I’ll guide you step by step.

Tell me your purpose for learning Chinese — travel, work, exams, daily conversation, or personal interest — and we’ll customise the lessons to match your goals, pace, and learning style.

Let’s make Chinese learning simple and fun 😊

Are you an adult learner aiming to use Chinese in real-life scenarios—whether for HSK exams, work meetings, or business communication? This course is designed to turn your Chinese skills into practical, usable tools.
As a CTCSOL-certified tutor with 2 years of 1-on-1 teaching experience, I focus on:
HSK preparation (Levels 1-5): Targeted practice for listening, reading, and writing (e.g., filling out forms, understanding daily conversations, passing HSK exams efficiently).
Business Chinese: Real workplace scenarios (e.g., introducing yourself in meetings, negotiating prices, writing professional emails, and making business calls).
Conversational fluency: Quick, natural phrases for daily/business interactions (no more memorizing useless vocabulary!).
Lessons are 100% customized to your goals: If you need to prepare for an HSK test next month, we’ll focus on exam skills. If you have a business trip to China, we’ll practice negotiation and small talk.
By the end of each lesson, you’ll walk away with phrases you can use immediately—no vague theory, just practical progress.
Let’s turn your Chinese learning into tangible results!

Chinese is an essential tool for expressing oneself and understanding the world. I offer comprehensive instruction, from basic Pinyin, Zhuyin, and Chinese character writing to advanced reading comprehension and essay writing skills, while also strengthening oral expression and listening comprehension. Learning Chinese not only improves academic performance but also cultivates logical thinking and confidence, laying a solid foundation for future learning of other subjects.

I will impart native speaker learning methods through engaging and relatable cultural sharing.

If you need help to improve your math, physics or Chinese, no matter for daily life or for your academic study from primary school to bachelor, I would be more than happy to help. After years of private teaching during my two master's studies, I learnt how to deliver the information in a light and memorable way. In my class, of course we will go through the theories and practices together, but more importantly, you will exercise on the way of thinking and have a newer view on the subjects, which is even more important than the knowledge in a long way. The class won't be exhausting as your extra chance of learning, but will make you naturally try to understand and remember.

I offer middle school and high school tutoring in Mathematics and Chinese, designed to support students at different academic levels and learning paces. My teaching approach emphasizes building strong foundations, developing logical thinking, and improving language comprehension, rather than short-term memorization.

From a parent’s perspective, I understand the importance of both academic progress and long-term learning habits. Each student receives personalized instruction based on their strengths, challenges, and school curriculum. Lessons focus on clarifying difficult concepts, strengthening problem-solving skills, and improving confidence in both subjects.

For Mathematics, I help students develop structured thinking, accuracy, and exam readiness. For Chinese, instruction includes reading comprehension, writing skills, vocabulary development, and cultural understanding, supporting both native and heritage learners.

Whether the goal is to keep up with school coursework, prepare for exams, or achieve long-term academic growth, I provide patient, consistent, and results-oriented guidance. I maintain clear communication with parents and adjust teaching strategies as students progress, ensuring that learning outcomes are measurable and meaningful.
