Hi, my name is Clover Tao. I'm a native Mandarin speaker and a professional Chinese teacher with a master’s degree in Applied Linguistics. I’ve been teaching for nearly 10 years. Besides teaching, I can also be your personal guide in Shanghai or other parts of China. Youtube: nihaochinesenet

Ich als Lehrkraft
Hi everyone, I'm Clover. I have been teaching Chinese and English for many years, both in China and abroad. I worked at a private high school in Australia for a year, and I graduated from the University of Queensland.
My students come from all over the world and have varying levels of proficiency. My classes cover a wide range of topics, including daily conversation, travel, education, economics, global issues, and more. You can also explore Chinese idioms and literature with me.
When booking a lesson, please let me know your current Chinese level and what you would like to focus on. Thank you!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My classes focus on improving students’ speaking skills, as most learners aim to communicate effectively in Chinese. I use Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) methods to guide our lessons.
Beyond language acquisition, I enjoy discussing a wide range of topics with my students, including Chinese culture, literature, history, and more. If you're looking not only to enhance your Chinese proficiency but also to gain deeper insights into China—such as social etiquette, cultural norms, societal dynamics, and the differences between Chinese and Western cultures—then I would be a great fit for you!
Another great lesson with Clover. This time we talked about food and cooking, which was a really fun topic as we were able to compare cooking styles between different countries. Clover is always patient and friendly, and corrects you gently without disrupting the flow of the conversation. Thank you as always, Clover!

I'm very happy with the progress I've made with my Chinese study over the last year, which has been in large part due to Clover's guidance and patience
