Hello, my real name is Akerke, but it's hard to pronounce it for a lot of foreign people, so they call me Ako. I'm Mandarin and Kazakh teacher. I graduated from Nanjing University of the Arts, major in theatre and film in Chinese language, played in Chinese theatre, so I really know how to learn and improve foreign languages. I speak in Kazakh, Russian, Chinese , English languages fluently. I have 4 years of teaching experience.
I’m a Mandarin tutor helping students travel to Hainan, Shanghai, Beijing and more. I guide them to ace HSK exams and confidently chat with friends, family, loved ones in Mandarin. Join me to start speaking Mandarin and Kazakh languages and explore the world!

I took some lessons with Ako before my trip to China and she was very patient and helped me a lot.
She was also very flexible and adapted our lesson based on my request.
Great teacher, I can absolutely recommend her.
Thanks Ako and hopefully see you soon again :)

Great teacher with a good understanding of how to teach, classes are structured and include homework, I can make simple sentences after just three hours of lessons. Highly recommended!

Ako always puts in a lot of effort, but makes it all easy and graceful. She’s one of the best italki tutors I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!
