About Me
italki teacher since Feb 27, 2017InterestsWritingSports & FitnessTechBusiness & FinanceFilms & TV Series
你好！我是Jason（邹皓易，发音类似‘Joe Howiee’），拥有汉语言文学学士学位，并专注跨文化沟通教学近5年。作为iTalki的资深中文/英文教师，我擅长用媒体、时事和幽默对话打破语言障碍——就像在悉尼大学研究政治传播时一样，让学习充满活力！
Currently pursuing my Master’s in Digital Communication at USyd, I blend academic rigor with real-world flair (fitness talks, camping stories, or corgi memes included!). Let’s turn language into your passport—respectful, insightful, and *never* boring. 很高兴认识你！
Me as a Teacher
Most of my experience has motivated me to become ‘cultural ambassador’ - testing methods, challenge stereotypes, reaching consensus. My ultimate goal is being able to gallivant among thought bubbles through my works and learn, listen, respect others. And I hope this would benefit you to talk in any language, with anyone anywhere. It'd my pleasure to be your guide on this journey. We decided to learn a second language not to 'feel content', but because we are never settled within comfort zone. This is what I wanted to achieve through teaching, hope you'd like it, too!My lessons & teaching style

The lessons with Jason are much more than just going through the Chinese, you also learn a lot about Chinese culture and history, even if it's recent history. Definitely one of the best teachers for those more intellectually inclined.

Jason is a very helpful teacher. He writes down new words and sentences in a Google sheet so I can study later, which is very helpful. This is my first lesson with him, and he's a keeper.

Every lesson with Jason is usefull and prepared. I took lessons with four or five teachers on italki.com and lessons with Jason are the best. On the lessons we are studying grammar, practice speaking and writing. I have my special student's plan and receive homeworks. All of these allows me to see improving of my level of language. Jason thank you for your time and lessons!
