You can find my YouTube channel “learn Chinese with Rushan” to see a little bit of my teaching. I specialized in tackling HSK exams , improving your Chinese listening and speaking skills.
I have started teaching Chinese since 2015, when I tutored foreign teaching assistants in university on 1 to 1 base, then in classroom to little kids in Sunday School in UK, and later teaching in private school in Thailand.
And I have already extensively taught online one to one since 2018 part time.
I am attentive, patient, always ready to help, responsible. Other than a language teacher, I also a big language learners, French, Spanish, Korean, also Greek.Me as a Teacher
1. I believe that teaching is to provide you a good way to learn more by yourself. My goal is to train you to be an independent learner.
2. I like to ask questions a lot during the lessons to make it a bit more challenging for you, "i+1" input.
3. I believe in task-based learning and acquiring a language through reading. My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is to teach with multiple examples, is to guide you to think and make sense of the language and logic behind.
I tailor every single lessons for student with different needs and different learning styles and methods.
The lessons will be interesting and practical as I always use everyday life things as example and materials. The materials will be the most authentic one as I write my own materials from everyday counters and inspirations.My teaching material

Rushan is an interesting and creative teacher, and she has fun ideas on how to learn material and to discuss many different topics. I always enjoy our lessons!

Rushan was very supportive and immediately understood my expectation. She provides good explanations and real-life examples which makes it easy to build the bridge between learning and doing.

Rushan was a little unprepared for the lesson which started a couple of minutes after the scheduled time. Unfortunately there was no plan nor clear direction. I did appreciate her patience with me as a beginner and also interesting direction through Hanzi but a formal plan would have been better as well as some organisation. I do think Rushan would be better with more experienced students who prefer to just exercise their vocabulary rather than learn.
