Hello, my name is Jia Nan or my English name Alex. I am a Chinese teacher from Zhengzhou, China.I am very good at teaching beginners. I can speak Mandarin and the Henan dialect.I can also speak English. I love music, especially the songs of Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, and JJ Lin. I also enjoy traveling, hiking, and playing badminton. I like making friends with people from different countries.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have three years of teaching experience and have taught students from various countries and backgrounds. With over 2,000 hours of teaching under my belt, I’ve learned that each student has their own unique learning style and needs. That’s why I focus on personalizing lessons to fit each individual, ensuring the curriculum is both practical and engaging. My goal is to help students improve their Chinese skills gradually, in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

Alex will likely be my first and last instructor with Italki. He has made such a wonderful impression. He is also very thorough and supportive in my academic pursuit of learning Mandarin Chinese. I am so privileged to have him as my tutor.

Alex is a very friendly and helpful teacher! His outgoing personality creates a relaxing environment where I feel comfortable speaking Chinese. I also really appreciate the detailed notes he sends after class. He is definitely the best Chinese teacher I’ve had! If you want to take your Chinese to the next level, you should definitely book a class with him
