Hello everyone and welcome to my teacher profile! my name is James but most people just know me as Gao and I am living in Nanjing city of china.It has an ancient history . I have been living and working here for many years. I like to meet people and know their cultures from different countries , as a Chinese guy and I would like to share our culture to different people and there’s my YouTube channel for sharing videos with you: https://youtube.com/c/ChineseFun In my free time I love reading, watching movie, bodybuilding and listening.anyway I am approachable.please don't hesitate to call me , see ya~~ I know its important to master a second language for people. I tried many ways to figure out how to learn a new language Since I choose to teach Chinese online.Finally it doesn't work without learning hard.there is no quick way to master a skill.I realized that a teacher plays a key role in helping students feel motivated when learning a second language .I am not a formal teacher but I guess that I can give you some useful tips of learning.I want all my students to like learning with me ! And I will help you like a best friend ! My teaching style focuses on making a topic and talking about it .its can improve your thinking and speaking abilities.I emphasis that students need to try and speak as much as possible .The more you speak the more I can correct and give suggestions on how you can improve .look forward to meeting you all very soon~

James is a very good teacher. Even though I didn’t know a single word in Chinese, he explained everything in a very simple and clear way. The lesson was very informative and entertaining 🙂
