About myself:
I am a local girl from Shanghai who has lived in the UK for five years. I am a Confucius Institute certified professional Chinese Teacher (CTCSOL Certificate). I have graduated with a Master's degree (with Merit) in Education in University of Glasgow outside my home country. For this reason, I have significant cross-cultural experience.
I have five years of experience in teaching Mandarin. So far I have more than 5000 hours online mandarin teaching experience and all 5 star reviews on other tutoring platforms.
I worked as a teacher, teaching HSK in Glasgow Chinese School Kelvin College, which helped me develop excellent communication and interpersonal skills. 100% of the class was able to pass the HSK3 exam.
I also worked as a Intermediate Oral Class Teacher Mandarin teacher in the Chinese Language School Northern Ireland from 2022 to 2023. I achieved 100% Pass Rate for YCT Oral Examinations.
At the moment, I work full time as an online mandarin tutor.
I've developed my own system of mandarin teaching and I am able to tailor my lessons to the requirements of each students. I am able to turn the classroom into a fun and engaging environment.
I know it's always a bit scary to learn a new language, but my goal is to make sure my students love learning Mandarin! :)
About my lesson:
My lessons are primarily based on HSK textbooks, although I do incorporate elements from other Mandarin textbooks. HSK is the official standard by which non-native Mandarin speakers are judged in China. After taking my lessons, my students will be able to acquire an official HSK certificate which will be recognised by all agencies in China.
I know that Chinese characters have always been the most scary part for students learning Chinese, so I have my own way of using pictures and tracing their origins to help students easily understand these characters.
For children, I will use age-appropriate teaching materials. I will engage them actively in the classroom through games, music, and pictures, to help them love learning Chinese!
I also give homework to my students, but it's not mandatory. It's just to help them review and practice what they've learned. There's no pressure to complete my homework.
