About Me
italki teacher since Oct 24, 2019
I grew up in Beijing, China and am now living in the UK. Mandarin is my mother tongue and I speak fluent English. I enjoy reading, listening to music, watching movies, and bouldering. I’m a flexible teacher. I believe it is important to understand your students' goals and interests to better serve their needs. I do not believe in learning a language through translation because finding an equivalent for every word is impossible. I am an easygoing person hence my class is relatively relaxing. I try my best to make my class interesting and useful, and I expect my students to put their time into learning too. I’m a flexible teacher. I believe as a teacher, it is important to understand your students' goals and interests to better serve their needs. Besides, I do not believe in learning a language through translation, because finding an equivalent in the learner's L1 for every word in his or her L2 is impossible. I also hold the view that it is crucial for language learners to be able to use the target language in their daily life. I am a very easygoing person hence my class is relatively relaxing. However, that doesn't mean I will tolerate procrastination and laziness. I will try my best to make my class interesting and useful at the same time, and I expect my students to put their time into learning too.

I have been studying Mandarin with Anastasia for almost five years. We’ve used my textbooks, podcasts, graded readers, and videos, and sometimes just chat about language, culture, or life. She has helped me with my writing. She will work to accommodate her students’ needs and interests. Anastasia’s training in linguistics and her fluency in English besides her native language enable her clearly to explain nuances in syntax and meaning that help to illuminate Mandarin for me. A minute or two after your lesson, she will send you the notes about new vocabulary or ideas you have covered that you can then work with more on your own. Anastasia is smart, personable, funny, and—so important—patient! Highly recommended!
