About Me
italki teacher since Feb 11, 2020
Hi! I’m Brandy. I’m a native Chinese speaker, my major in university is Chinese language and literature. Now I live in Shanghai and work as a Mandarin teacher. I’ve worked in a language learning center for 9 years with over 6000 hours teaching experience. I offer mandarin lessons to the students of all levels such as practical daily conversation, HSK/YCT/BCT test preparation, Chinese characters. But now I'm new on italki, hope you will give me an opportunity to show that I'm a patient, funny teacher. As a teacher, I hope I can help you to build up your confidence in speaking Chinese in a correct way with correct words and grammars. I can help you to improve your reading if you’re learning characters. What the most important is I hope you will know more about China through this language. Please contact me and let me know something about your learning experience before booking a lesson. The information I would like to know are listed below, you can write in Pinyin or Characters if you can. 1. How long have you learnt Mandarin? 2. You learning is based on Pinyin or characters? 3. Have you ever attended to HSK, and which level have you achieved? 4. What is your future learning goal?

Great lesson with teacher Brandie as always. I had regressed a bit after taking a break from studying, but she patiently guided me back on track and helped me recall what I’d forgotten. She’s always thorough, supportive, and makes every class enjoyable.

Very patient teacher who takes the time to clearly explain grammar and pronunciation. After just three classes I already see major progress. Highly recommended!

We had an introduction call to determine my current level of Chinese. We practiced some simple chinese and then made a plan for future lessons. Brandy is very kind and I look forward to more lessons.
