Greetings! My name is Frank, and since 2020, I have been passionately engaged in teaching Chinese through the italki platform. Alongside my teaching endeavors, I serve as the writer for both the Chairman's Bao and RealTime Mandarin. Furthermore, I possess over a decade of extensive experience in marketing, sales, and international purchasing.
My specialization lies in instructing students in general Chinese, business Chinese, and preparing them for the HSK tests. I find immense joy in connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds. italki has provided me with the opportunity to explore a world filled with exciting possibilities and enriching experiences.

Me as a Teacher
I don't rely heavily on textbooks when planning lessons. Instead, the textbook is used as a guide for students, and I write original stories to complement the material.
I offer you my best help to learn pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, colloquial Chinese, reading and writing. The most efficient way to learn a foreign language is to talk to the native speaker. I can use English or Spanish to explain Chinese expressions, grammar points and other complicated concepts to beginner if necessary.
My lessons & teaching style
In the class we focus on the things that will get you the best result to build speaking confidence. Every class will be challenging and fun to keep you motivated. You will be constantly encouraged to speak more when we have Chinese class.
I am looking forward to having class with you on ITALKI.

I've learned English and Chinese for several years and met uncountably many teachers and tutors in my life. To my regret, there were only a few good teachers, so I know how hard and rare to find a good teacher. Frank is, to be honest, one of the best teachers I've ever met. He's kind, patient, and passionate, and always on time. His teaching method is very engaging and interesting to me. He also speaks good English, which comes in handy. (I believe he also speaks a few more languages) I study more with Frank, and I enjoy it. For those who want to improve general Chinese language skills, I highly recommend Frank. You won't regret it!

Frank is an excellent and well prepared teacher who is able to teach highly specialised an niche topics. He usually sends me a short vocabulary list in advance. In class, we discuss a topic in detail. I am very satisfied and will continue to take Frank's class.

I really enjoyed my trial class with Frank Laoshi. Although my fluency in Chinese is still limited, I felt quickly at ease, and our chat flew smoothly. Thanks, Frank Laoshi!
