8 years experience. Teaching is my passion. Hi, I’m Sophie. I am a qualified teacher in China. I have my national teacher certification and I have been a teacher in China for several years now teaching English to locals, and teaching Chinese since 2017. I’m very patient with my students. I not only teach Chinese as a language, but also share Chinese culture. I always believe that textbooks aren't always right, I like helping my students learn Chinese naturally. My classes are fun and flexible. Provide a safe and immersive Chinese environment for you to learn in without feeling overwhelmed.

I had a great first lesson with Sophie! She was well-prepared, her teaching style is engaging and encouraging, her materials were excellent, and she was especially helpful in correcting my tones. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to study Mandarin.

TLDR: I'm in the infancy stage of Chinese. She provides an extremely safe and flexible lesson environment, quick and active feedback pronunciation-wise, personalized vocab sheets, and gets you talking a lot in the language! Sophie is a fantastic language teacher! I am within my first month of learning Mandarin Chinese, but have previously attained conversational fluency in French. I have found that the best sign of a language teacher is that both: 1. The lesson time flies by AND 2. You were speaking the target language almost the entire time. The second one is not a given as a beginner, but is so important. Sophie makes sure you're always trying to speak and gives such good feedback anytime you attempt to speak. Her lessons are 100% customized for you, and always sends a list of all the new words with their meanings & pinyin afterwards. Personalized reviews in the beginnings of lessons and she is *always* ready to answer cultural questions as well as random language questions. :)

Sophie is a great and patient teacher. She encouraged me to make sentences and helped me form natural Chinese sentences. Her classes are very fun too, I even didn't realize we already finished our class lol. Guys, I highly recommend to try her lessons!
