Tailored Chinese courses at all levels, learning while enjoying (one on one and group)

From 56.65 C$ /h

Language is the window to a culture, and at the same time an integral part of a culture.
The overarching learning goal of my classes is for students to:
a) master Chinese/English (speaking, reading, listening, writing) at different levels through various teaching activities which engage, challenge and motivate them at corresponding levels,
b) experience a different culture and acquire a different (new) perspective of looking at the world through the language they are learning.

I will provide customized learning materials and handouts, and share various learning resources.

For beginners, you will be introduced basic daily expressions, the pinyin system and basic grammars.
For advanced learners, you will learn intermediate grammars with the purse of gaining the competence to conduct daily conversations, read simple articles, type, and write in Chinese.

When you are uncertain about your essay or thesis (for instance the structure, argument or format), the opinion of a reader who is experienced in academic writing will be of great help.

The goals of this class are to train your skills in academic writing in the aspects of text structure, logic, coherence, argument and format, and to improve your essays and theses.

If you have a ready text, I will work on it together with you, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph.
