I'm a graduate student interested in languages. Whatever your current level of Chinese is, I will try my best to help you.
If you're a beginner, I will introduce you to the language and teach you the basic phrases and sentences that are used in everyday life. When you get more advanced, we will move to more advanced topics. However, we will focus only on the speaking and won't use characters, because I think it's a distraction at the beginning. The goal is to enable you to communicate with people using simple Chinese under certain common scenarios.
If you're an intermediate learner, our learning will be more flexible. We will discuss more general topics and start to learn grammatical patterns. Also in this stage we will begin the learning of characters. What characters represent are the most basic concepts in our mind. They are the building blocks. Accurately speaking, "words" in Chinese should be called "fixed groups of characters". Unlike learning English words, I will present the characters in its natural order. For example, "sneeze", which is not an advanced word, may appear very early, but its written form is "喷嚏", so apparently I can't teach that at an early stage. Instead the most simple characters will be firstly taught, and you will find that the more complicated characters are in fact formed by the simple ones.
Finally, if you're an advanced learner, then we can talk about whatever you like. I can teach you professional terms, poems, commonly used idioms, slangs and so on. We can discuss the subtleties of the language. I can also help you prepare for tests. We will work together to make your Chinese refined.
