Me as a Teacher
Hi guys, I am Clover. I have taught Chinese and English for years in China and overseas. I once worked in a private high school in Australia for one year, and I graduated from the University of Queensland.
My students have different levels and are from around the world. My class covers a wide range of topics such as daily conversation, travelling, education, economics, global issues, etc. You can also learn Chinese idioms and literature with me. When you book your lesson, please let me know your level of Chinese and what you would like to learn. Thank you!
My lessons & teaching style
1. HSK/Test Preparation
2. Target Sopken Chinese/Free Talk
3. Advanced Chinese Lessons (Including Chinese literature, idioms, mythologies, etc.)
My class focus on improving students' speaking skills, as the aim of most students to learn Chinese is to communicate with people. I will use CLT and TBLT methods to conduct our lessons.

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!

Clover is a fantastic teacher, she's always well prepared and extremely helpful. She provides helpful guidance and structures learning content at a level of difficulty
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

She is very well prepared with extensive professional resources that have helped me a lot with different aspects of my Chinese learning, such as conversation, reading, and teaching me more idioms.
