Prices for a 50 Minute Lesson

Hi! My name is Tina. I grew up in China in Guangzhou. I also lived in Hong Kong and South Korea, but now I live in Taiwan. I graduated from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. My major was international business. I have three years of teaching experience, mainly about tutoring foreign students Chinese, and children English from six to eleven years old.

During the teaching session,I plan and prepare my own teaching materials and use props (such as cards, songs, games, videos, etc.) to engage students in learning (this is especially useful for children). I also design each student’s study plans and learning outcomes. By observing each student's situation, I provide solutions tailored to each student’s problems. In class, I like to discuss the culture and history of my country, and I also encourage students to talk about their own country. It is my teaching philosophy to have a relaxed and light-hearted classroom experience.

After class, I will give students homework and tests to evaluate their progress. I will give feedback to help and encourage students to make more progress. If needed, I can tutor students to take the HSK exam from level 1 to level 6.

When I was at the university, I have studied general economics, as well as management classes including business management, marketing, financial management, so if you want to learn business Mandarin, I have a good theoretical background with business topics. I can also speak and understand some Korean since I lived in Korea for some time.

My previous students had learned Chinese quickly, and they recommended me to other students. If you would like to learn Mandarin or Cantonese, I hope to have the opportunity to become your tutor.

Hi I am Alex, a native Chinese speaker fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese. I am an English teacher in China, with a Teachers Qualification Certificate (China), I've been teaching kids English for five years. Graduated from Wuzhou University, my main subject was International Trading English. I have a background in the export business for more than 10 years.

As an experienced teacher, I am keeping a sense of understanding my students well. By studying my students' pronunciation, mistakes on grammar, or other learning behaviors, I could deduce what problems my students might face, thus helping you to improve your Chinese.

I would include different teaching methods in my class. From students point of view, you would see me showing props, or a short movie, you would see a grammar structure being written on a white board, you would see me replacing flash cards to lead you to say Chinese sentences.

Base on your current level, period time of learning, and your main goal on language skills (some would specially focus on speaking), I could make customized learning program for you, that would include full details including how much time we are spending on sentence structure, vocabulary, listening and speaking. Every time after class, you would receive some materials, showing key points we have covered, along with some homework, so you could consolidate and get ready for a new lesson.

I've been teaching kids English for years, as young as 6 years old. I know kids very well. I would introduce stories and pictures in my class, of course those materials would carry a certain language tasks. I also have a business background related to export industry. I would be happy to discuss some interesting facts about doing business in China. Some interactive scenes like a business meeting, a trade negotiation, or itinerary discussion could be included in our classes.

If you learn with me, you will gain confidence and progress quickly.

As an experienced teacher, I knew the mistakes all students would make, and will explain the hard point in different method like pictures, cards, demonstrations, PinYin practicing methods, gestures, etc.

Though these ways to deepen and make you remember the pronunciation. In my opinion, learning a language needs various interaction methods, communication etc. I will create scenes then let you find what you do, and guide  you to speak Chinese  properly. In the end of class, you will have homework to strengthen what you learn during the lesson.

Hello, my name is Ezio. For anyone who wants to start learning a new language, I totally understand those difficulties you might have, like memorizing new vocabularies and characters, imitating different pronunciations and grammar. Therefore I will teach you to learn a new language just as easy as how you learn your mother tongue.

I would sincerely be your helper in language learning. Here is a few points you could know about my class. For beginners and kids, we will start learning from listening and speaking by imitating some authentic expressions. You could easily learn how to listen and talk in a native way. And of course, I will also use whiteboard to teach you understand Chinese characters and Pinyin (Chinese phonetic alphabet). I can also help you prepare for the HSK exam, level 1 to 5.

I would make customized learning program for you and help you improve your Chinese in whatever levels that you are aiming for. Any kind of learning requires interest and sense of achievement. I would try my best to make you enjoy the class, but it would be necessary for you to practice and reinforce what we have learned in class.

Here is some more information about my experiences. I was born and raised in Guangdong province, China. I grew up by speaking three different dialects including Mandarin, Cantonese and Hakka (I can also teach Hakka). During my time in college I spent 3 years in English training, and also learned business English for 2 years. My English level is CET 6 (College English Test level of 6 in China). I worked in Deutsche Telekom AG, a German telecommunication company, for a year and mostly served for the customers from Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, and etc, in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

你好！My name is Jessica. I am from Guangdong, China, growing up speaking both Cantonese and Mandarin. Throughout the years, I have mastered English to an advanced level with a standard American accent as well(Please check out my video). I've traveled a lot to broaden my horizon, including the United States, Brazil, England, Canada, Mexico, and Europe, and have made many friends from all over the world(as well as teaching, known as "traveling online"). I have spent two years in the US for a cultural exchange program, which allowed me to experience western culture and explore almost half the number of states. I also gained my TOEFL certificate while I was in the US.

Teaching requires a lot of patience, creativity, and a sense of responsibility, especially when facing young learners (I have taught children as young as 3 years old). Because of all the experience that I have, I have both mindsets of English and Chinese. Thus, I know how to interact with my students better. With various materials, I use them accordingly for students that are at different levels and have intentional purposes(Please check out my video). I am flexible, open-minded, imaginative, and willing to devote myself.

Here is a bit more information about me:
I finished college in Zhongshan, China, majoring in Food Science and Engineering at Guangdong Pharmaceutical University. After graduating from college, I worked as a counselor who assisted students with their studying abroad applications. I have also been to England as a group leader of a study abroad tour, and I have established a good relationship with the students and their parents who I am still keeping in contact.

As a native Chinese speaker, I feel privileged to be able to understand Mandarin, Cantonese, and English at the same time. And I can't wait to share my interest and my knowledge with you. Looking forward to meeting you there!

Hello! My name is Maggie. I come from Taiwan, where I was born in Taichung city. I have taught Mandarin to kids as young as 5 yrs old. I am currently teaching my own child who is 2yrs old; by now she already knows initials/finals and is able to speak some words! In Taiwan, we use Zhuyin (ㄅㄆㄇㄈ) and traditional Chinese characters but I can also offer the standard Pinyin (pīnyīn) and simplified characters if you like!

For lessons with children, as a mother, I know how to communicate and interact with kids. I will be using cartoon cards, toys and some songs to focus on my student's listening and speaking skills! I completed a bachelor's degree in business in Taipei city, specializing in Financial Engineering and Mathematics. Aside from that, I have worked as a receptionist, tour guide and barista in Australia; and I also run my own surf brand company. For business learners of Mandarin, through these experiences, I would be happy to guide you on business lessons if needed! I am a traveler and love learning new languages. I even spent a whole year working in Australia and 2 months on exchange in Oxford in the UK. I am open to welcome you, if you would like to learn about Taiwanese culture; we can customize your own Mandarin lessons!

For the trial lesson, I would like to know your current Chinese level and the reason you want to learn Chinese. These are important for our first meeting to achieve your learning goals efficiently. Learning a new language is not hard. Back in 2015, I left my home country without speaking a word of English, and now I am happy to be teaching the Mandarin language to others. All you need is to be confident and to believe in your abilities!

For you to know me better: I have been a surf instructor for 3 years and I am now an aspiring piano teacher as well. I am an adventurous and open-minded person who loves challenges in life. You won't regret starting your lessons with me!

It is my pleasure to be teaching you the Mandarin language. I have experience teaching students from Vietnam, Hong Kong, Russia, Indonesia, Japan, etc.

I am a traveler and love learning new languages. I'm also a student of Japanese so I understand the difficulties that students encounter when trying to learn a new language. I have traveled extensively, including volunteering in the United States and Europe.

I earned my CELT-P certification while working for the school as a teaching assistant. I passed the teaching practice in our school and I gained experience with primary school students.

I worked for the St. Regis Tianjin Hotel as a telephone operator, and for my next job, I worked at a charity to help orphans in China. From a young age, I also fostered a love of writing, and have had articles published in our local Tianjin newspaper "Holiday 100" from middle school to university. I also work for an American telecommunications company, calling operators to make sure lines are working. I think this experience will help me teach business Chinese.

Everyone is different, so I want to know more about you. In particular, why you're learning Mandarin, what your level is, what you struggle with and how I can help you. I find grammar-heavy teaching methods ineffective - there is more to language learning than memorizing grammar rules! My favorite way to learn a language is by conversation and so I would love to chat with students about their interests and hobbies as well as what's going on in the world. Most of my lessons are conversation-based, but we can focus on anything you like. It just depends on your schedules and goals of learning Mandarin.

For advanced students, we can read news articles and real media written for native speakers. Also, I could give you homework if that is something you would like me to do. Besides learning languages, I like East Asian History, especially Chinese poetry and Ming-Qing fiction which may also help you learn Mandarin.
