Certified Chinese Teacher with 8 Years of Experience - Tailored Lessons to Meet Your Needs and Goals Hi, I'm Kai, a Chinese teacher from China living in Minnesota since 2018. I love traveling, and I've visited 25 states. I've also lived in Russia for two years, teaching Chinese and exploring different cities.

I am an experienced certified Chinese teacher with a Master’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language.

I have also taught Chinese at Jilin University and as part of the "Online Chinese Teachers" program. I love creating and planning lessons and helping students achieve their language-learning goals. I'm an experienced Chinese language teacher with a student-centered approach. I use a communicative approach, prioritizi...

I have been taking lessons with Kai twice a week for several months now. I am relatively new to Mandarin, and Kai's support has been indispensable as I have slowly built up my knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. Kai is very patient and takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly. Just as importantly, his encouraging attitude makes it easier to learn, which can only happen if you make (many) mistakes. In short, Kai is a wonderful instructor and I would recommend him highly to anyone, regardless of their proficiency level.
