Zhenzi Guo

Studied for BA in Mandarin Chinese TV programme hosting and hold a Level 1B Mandarin certificate. With eleven years of experience in training and consulting, including experience in teaching Mandarin Chinese to children, I am a good communicator for all ages. Through my work and personal interests, I have gained extensive experience in Mandarin Chinese oral and written communication and Chinese writing (business reports or stories).

Learners could learn to read and write, from basic Chinese phonics to advanced business report writing, poetry, and essay recitation. The learning programme is adapted to the different needs of students (e.g. more oral or written). As practice is the best way to master a language, the course will progress in a learning plus practice format. I will use the most up-to-date learning materials of the day and also set up lessons that combine current events of interest to the students, using interest as a motivation for learning. For example, I would use stories to attract children, current events or Chinese traditional culture and history to appeal to adults.

As I used to work in consultancy, I can turn our learning journey into a personalised consulting project. I can plan your in-class and out-of-class learning accordingly to suit your schedule and enable you to maintain your language level as much as possible, even if you don't have time for classes or don't have enough free time.

I have a deep understanding of Chinese history and culture and can also help students interested in Chinese calligraphy to learn introductory-level calligraphy.
