I would describe myself as a passionate, patient, and flexible tutor. I am a native Chinese speaker with a deep understanding of Chinese culture and literature. Having lived and worked in Singapore and the UK, I am familiar with the cultural backgrounds and language learning needs of British students. I understand the challenges they may face and can adapt my teaching approach to meet their specific requirements.
My lessons are aimed at individuals who are interested in learning Chinese and want to explore the rich aspects of the language and its cultural nuances, whether they are beginners or have some prior knowledge of the Chinese language. As a native speaker, I can provide an authentic learning experience, helping students develop proper pronunciation, fluency, and an understanding of the subtleties of the Chinese language. I believe that each student has their own learning style and needs, so I tailor personalized lesson plans based on their level and interests. By leveraging my cultural knowledge and linguistic expertise, I strive to create an engaging and immersive learning environment. I incorporate elements of Chinese literature, history, and contemporary culture into my lessons, allowing students to develop a deeper appreciation for the language and its context.
Here are some of the teaching approaches I will use:
- Personalized lesson plans: Customizing individualized lesson plans based on students' level, needs, and goals, ensuring that the course content and pace align with their learning progress.
- Interactive and communicative activities: Engaging students in meaningful conversations and interactive activities to improve their speaking and listening skills.
- Reading and writing exercises: Providing reading materials, such as short stories or articles, and guiding students to write compositions or essays to enhance their reading and writing abilities.
- Cultural immersion: Introducing Chinese customs, traditions, and contemporary culture to students, incorporating cultural elements into the lessons to foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Chinese language and culture.
- Regular assessments and feedback: Conducting regular assessments to track students' progress and providing constructive feedback to guide their learning journey.
