Xiaoli L.

Hello everyone! I'm your Chinese teacher, Xiaoli, from Jingzhou, Hubei Province. Jingzhou is a city rich in history and culture, famous for its ancient city walls. I majored in English Education at university and hold an English proficiency level 8 certificate, a Mandarin certificate, and a Chinese-English interpretation certificate. After graduating, I worked as an English translator for several years, so my Chinese and English skills are top-notch. If you ever find something hard to understand in our Chinese classes, I can communicate with you effortlessly. I have five years of teaching experience. In my classes, I encourage students to speak up confidently and not to shy away from expressing themselves just because of pronunciation issues. We learn vocabulary in the context of sentences and conversations, rather than memorizing isolated words. When it comes to grammar, I won’t just bombard you with boring rules; instead, I’ll relate it to real-life situations, objects, actions, and simple images. My lessons include fun activities like substitution exercises, role-playing, and situational dialogues to make learning enjoyable. I also like to spend the last five minutes of each class sharing interesting Chinese idioms and humorous jokes in English, so you can appreciate the charm of the Chinese language and understand the cultural spirit behind it. After you book a trial lesson, I’ll first assess your language level and learning goals, then choose the right materials and carefully plan each lesson, creating a detailed personalized learning plan. We’ll practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a relaxed atmosphere, step by step, getting closer to your goals. Let’s embark on this Chinese learning journey together!
