Mandarin Chinese

As a certified online Mandarin instructor, I possess a significant amount of teaching experience with adult learners, professionals, as well as school students.
 
My past work includes serving as a language trainer for a college in the USA and a multinational company. Currently, I am conducting online sessions for a European consulate and a USA E-learning platform, and I aspire to expand my horizons further. 
My proficiency in time and energy management allows me to balance multiple responsibilities effectively.

My teaching repertoire encompasses Conversational Chinese, Business Chinese, and Cultural Insight. I employ a friendly, interactive, and captivating approach to my classes. 

I excel in providing visual and contextual explanations of grammar and vocabulary, making it easy and enjoyable for learners. 

Furthermore, I specialize in developing stimulating assignments that encourage students to practice their communication and speaking skills.

Teaching genuine Chinese, infused with cultural content, is my passion. My methodology is rooted in Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Task-based Integrated Chinese instruction.

I’m now teaching a full year language course (24 sessions) for high school credit required students with my visualized class material and speaking & writing sync method to cover daily topics and useful grammar structures suits their level, also help their Chinese characters reading and presentation skills through some small language projects by can-do assessment.
