Celina

I'm Liang and I'm in Shanghai. My hometown is Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, which is often called the "Paradise on Earth". I'm a native Chinese, so Mandarin is surely my mother tongue. English is my university major. I once had a teaching experience, which was to be the English teacher for grades 4 to 6 in a primary school. I taught the children English happily on the playground and the lawn instead of having them sit in the classroom and read from books. My classes were recognized by the principal and many parents, and the children regarded me as their member. After graduating from university, I came to Shanghai to engage in import and export trade, and have been doing this for over 20 years. During this period, I have worked with business partners and clients from all over the world. Although I don't have formal teaching experience as a professional Chinese language teacher, I have trained and taught more than ten interns in my previous company, including Indian and Uzbek students. My students' Chinese proficiency reached HSK level 6, and we often interacted and shared learning experiences and life pleasures, almost becoming close friends. I am quite approachable and patient. I speak at a moderate pace and am always willing to share my knowledge with students. I especially like curious students. I believe that students who ask questions are thinking actively, have their own ideas and personalities, which is wonderful! I have many hobbies in my spare time, such as learning languages like Spanish; studying psychology and traditional Chinese medicine; and loving Chinese traditional culture. So if you come to my class, you will find that apart from learning Chinese language, you will also learn some health tips from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, understand elegant things in intangible cultural heritage, learn a piece of Chinese Kungfu, get to know Chinese opera and face-changing art, and acquire some interesting knowledge about Chinese history, culture and famous works. I like my classes to be unique and distinctive; I like my classes to be full of laughter and enable students to have a lot of gains; I like to teach students according to their aptitudes and tailor learning methods based on their acceptance and understanding abilities. I look forward to your coming to my class to learn Chinese and understand Chinese culture. It will be my honor to be your Chinese language teacher!
