About Me
italki teacher since Jun 2, 2020InterestsReadingSports & FitnessTravelHistory
Hello, everyone! I am Elena. I am from Guangzhou, a city in south China.
My Chinese name is Jiaxian; I am a native speaker of Mandarin and Cantonese.
I have been working as a language school teacher in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English for over five years. I mainly teach international students. In the classroom, I teach the language and share cultural and historical knowledge.Me as a Teacher
I already have 7 years of experience in online teaching, with certification to teach Chinese and English to adults and children. Also, I have completed IELTS teacher training courses with a certificate.
When I was in New Zealand for a working holiday a few years ago, I realized that learning their language is always the best way to know more about different cultures. That's why I want to help people who learn about the Chinese language and culture. At the same time, I am committed to supporting Chinese students in improving their spoken English and preparing them for studying and working in an English language environment.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is patient, kind, and friendly. We can discuss whatever you need help with, whether reading, writing, listening, or speaking. I like to personalize the content to suit better topics that you are interested in and keep you engaged.
I used to work in the retail and management industry and enjoy communicating with people. We would have many topics for our conversation, such as travel, business, daily life, etc. I hope my class can make you feel comfortable practicing as much as possible.
Materials such as PPT files, website articles, or language videos are provided. In addition, after class, there will have homework to guide your study if you like.My teaching material

We reviewed the lesson from last week as well as new material on the same topic. Was very thorough in explaining things I wasn't sure of. She also asked my questions to back up what we just talked about, and went through exercises.

In class we started by introducing ourselves. Then she checked to see where I was at, asked how long i’ve been doing Chinese, and went straight into the lesson. At the end she asked what other languages I did, and what we’d be going over next class. Overall, I did enjoy the class, I would say for me it was a bit awkward because I’m not the most social person, but I definitely enjoyed the lesson!

We talked about our day and weekends as usual, which I was able to talk a lot about. She's very approachable, easy to talk to. After talking about our weekends and other things, we moved the reading materials, which opened up more questions regarding the topics in them. When I wanted to know a word and ask my teacher about it, she would let me know which to use, how to say it, and write it down for me to review. Her way of teaching is great!
