Hi, I am a native Mandarin & Cantonese speaker, also has been working as TPRS/ CI Chinese Teacher since a couple years ago.
Me as a Teacher
In 2014 I met my professional TPRS coach and had the opportunity to join a Training Summer Camp in Hawaii two years later. It completely changed my teaching style. It meant a lot to me to observe and practice these skills with other teachers together. Since then, I have been polishing my skills through CI conferences and writing groups.
My lessons & teaching style
I want to teach you using a slow, effective method called TPRS/CI, which allows you to learn and retain what you’ve learned effortlessly without using a boring textbook.And learn all the necessary grammar to speak Chinese without having to do grammar drills or exercises or listen to explanations that you don’t understand in the first place. ( If you love to do those exercises by self-teaching. Good Job. You will find your listening and speaking can catch the exercises easilly after our class)

Teacher’s pick
Mei is a truly excellent teacher. I tried 5 different Cantonese iTalki teachers and liked her best (even though her rate was quite a bit higher). She is patient, engaging, professional and always prepared. She uses the TPRS method, which I was not familiar with until I met her – vocabulary is incorporated into a story, making it easier (and more natural) to learn than doing memorisation, tests or drills. I enjoy learning this way because it is systematic but not boring. It is easy to find teachers to practise informal conversation with, but harder to find ones that teach in a structured way. Mei actually prepares personalised lessons, helps review old content, and sends a vocabulary list after each class. She is flexible (she helped me practice when I needed help with a graduate school interview) and intuitive about adapting to your level. She has experience teaching all ages and profiencies, but I found her especially useful as an intermediate speaker. Enthusiastically recommend her.

Very fun lesson with Mei. From just one class using the TPRS method I was feeling more relaxed speaking. Looking forward to the next classes.

It’s been a while since I’ve taken italki classes but so happy to reconnect with Mei. She has a way of introducing new vocabulary and making sure you use it without even noticing!
