Hello everyone! I am a native Chinese speaker with a friendly and patient personality, and I am very happy to help friends who want to learn Chinese. Unlike many teachers, I don't have students mechanically memorize; I value speaking and expression more, helping you to relieve the psychological burden of being afraid of making mistakes.
My courses will be designed entirely around your personal goals. If you are a complete beginner, we will start with pinyin, tones, and basic vocabulary; if you want to improve your daily communication skills, we will do more situational dialogue exercises in class; if you are preparing to take the HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test) levels one to four, we will focus on specific exercises in vocabulary, listening, reading, and speaking.
I prepare briefly for each lesson beforehand. In class, we can talk about life, culture, and interesting social topics, accumulating language through real-life interactions rather than simply memorizing textbooks. I understand that learning a foreign language can be stressful, and making mistakes is perfectly normal. My classes are free of blame, only encouragement. Even if your foundation is weak, don't worry about falling behind; I will adjust the pace and guide you step by step to build your language confidence.
Although I don't yet have formal full-time teaching experience, I'm good at putting myself in the shoes of beginners and understand the difficulties they encounter. I excel at explaining complex grammar points in a simple and easy-to-understand way, making learning easier. Whether you're learning Chinese out of interest, for travel, or for exam preparation, I hope to accompany you on your steady progress, helping you see your progress little by little. I look forward to seeing you in the classroom!
