About Me
italki teacher since Feb 27, 2017Interest topicTechWritingHistory
Hi! I’m Jason - graduated in 2016 with B.A in Chinese Language, cultivating transcultural experience with respectful & inspiring conversation has always been my passion.
Currently I’m studying in Australia, researching Political Communication at Sydney Uni(USyd). I love everything about media, fitness, talk shows, camping... and Corgis!
你好！我的名字叫邹皓易（similar to ‘Joe Howiee’）现在居住在澳大利亚，悉尼大学(USyd)数字传播学硕士在读，很高兴认识你！作为汉语言文学专业的2016届毕业生，我在Italki已经有近5年的教学经验。
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.

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!

Jason is a very great teacher. He listens carefully to you and then give proper feedback on your performance later which is very helpful. Besides, he has a very clear and easy-to-follow voice, sound like in the HSK exam audio. Thank you for your lesson today
