Hi there! I'm Guyu 👋, an experienced Mandarin tutor specializing in practical, conversational Chinese for overseas teens and adults. I'm currently pursuing CTCSOL certification (written exam completed, awaiting results).
About My Background:
Bachelor's degree in Literature, Mandarin Proficiency Level 2A (PSC), and a Chinese Teacher Qualification Certificate.
CTCSOL candidate — written exam completed, awaiting results.
3 years' teaching experience with overseas teenagers and adult learners, including HSK exam preparation.
Former bilingual tour guide at Chengdu Panda Base — I explain Chinese language and culture clearly in English.
My Teaching Style:
Tired of memorizing HSK word lists but still unable to hold a real conversation? My lessons combine a clear system with real-life practice:
✅ Standard HSK curriculum to build a strong foundation.
✅ Real dialogues for travel, daily life, and social situations.
✅ Pronunciation and tone correction, so textbook phrases become natural speech.
✅ Fun Chinese cultural stories, with clear English explanations whenever needed.
No boring rote drills — just practical Chinese you can actually use.
Who I Teach:
I’m patient and flexible. I work with total beginners, heritage learners who want to improve, HSK candidates, and anyone who wants to speak Chinese more fluently in daily life. Every lesson is tailored to your pace and goals in a relaxed, supportive space.
Let’s get started:
Book a trial lesson with me, and let’s make learning Chinese fun and practical! 😊
