Hello, everyone! My name is Cathy. I live in Shanghai and I am a native Mandarin speaker.
I have the certificate of qualification as a senior Chinese language teacher from IPA. I also hold a BA in Communication and Marketing from The University of Hebei in China, and an MA in Sociology from The University of Essex in the UK.
I have been working with different countries people and communicated people from different cultures. We can talk about different topics and share our opinions to each other.
I love teaching. I have been working in Chinese language and culture area for 12 years. I have taught some students from all over the world. I would like to share my experience to you and help you improve your Chinese abilities.
I am good at teaching Business Chinese, HSK, Practical Chinese, Oral Chinese, etc.
My Chinese class is fun and effective. I am very patient with everyone. Every student in my class is relaxed and confident to study. Every one will free to talk and ask any questions about China.

Great :) Cathy prepares materials for each class, lessons are well structured. She chooses suitable exercises for my level of Chinese so the class does not get boring. We revise the content from the previous class and learn something new every time. Highly recommend! I've booked a package of 10 classes
