Catherine H.

Hi there! I’ve taught Chinese as a foreign language since 2021, with a background in Education from Lingnan Normal University. From 2021-2023, I worked as a teacher and curriculum specialist at Tang Chinese, and have since accumulated over 400 hours of tutoring experience. I’ve guided students from Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Australia, Iran, the US, South Africa, and Russia — from absolute beginners to HSK 4 level. I teach HSK 1-4 (test prep & skill building), Basic/Intermediate Spoken Chinese, and Beginner Business Chinese, and am familiar with mainstream textbooks. My approach avoids rigid memorization: I use real-life examples and immersive contexts to help students intuitively grasp Chinese. I also proactively point out common mistakes to save time. Students often say my classes are highly effective — they note that while native speakers can communicate, professional teaching makes learning smoother. Whether you’re prepping for HSK or building practical skills, I’m here to support your progress!
