Hello! My name is Cheng, and I’m from Xi'an, a city rich in history in China. I have a deep love for football, music, and movies. Ever since I was a child, I've had a keen interest in Chinese literature, and I enjoy writing prose in Chinese to capture the moments of life.
As a crazy football fan, I built a football fan club here in Xi'an with other people just like me. I often play football with international students and have formed lasting friendships with them. I also enjoy helping them learn Chinese.

My teaching style encourages interaction and engagement. Through practice exercises, I will help students improve their pronunciation and develop their critical thinking and language skills. I will also share information about Chinese culture, history, and customs so that students can learn more about China as they learn the language.
I’m excited to share more about China and its vibrant culture. I look forward to connecting, learning from each other, and growing together. I can't wait to embark on this journey with you!

I had a really engaging Chinese lesson with Cheng. He asked lots of thoughtful questions to understand my level and guide the class, which made the lesson feel very personalized. He taught me new idioms and explained them clearly, which was very helpful.
We also talked about football, music, and culture, and Cheng shared some new bands for me to listen to. This made the lesson fun and interesting while still being very useful for learning Chinese. He is patient and encouraging, which helped me feel comfortable speaking.
After the lesson, Cheng provided clear notes from the class, which I really appreciated for reviewing later. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend Cheng as a teacher.

Today I had a blast talking about food, soccer games and our plans for Chinese New year. I learned a lot of new vocab and near the end of the less really felt I was talking smooth (for me anyway) which is a great feeling. As always Cheng did a great job helping me along and I'm ready for my next lesson.
