I'm a certified Chinese teacher.
I'm passionate about teaching language.
I ask questions, repeat and relate to things to ensure your understanding and enhance your learning process.
Before becoming a full-time mandarin teacher, I worked as purchaser, sales, retrofitting engineer (injection moulding machine) for many years.
I will offer you practical and useful lessons in these fields.
I enjoy travelling and the nature, I have been to many interesting places in China.
I also visited Deutschland, France and USA for several times.
We can talk any topics interested you in Chinese.
So ... Set out on the Chinese learning journey with monika right now^_^Me as a Teacher
I have been working in several top mandarin schools located in shanghai for years.
I have rich experience in both online and in-person teaching.
I make learning plan according to each student's specific needs.
Normally I use a structured material for example HSK standard course, Integrated Chinese, New Target Spoken Chinese Spoken Language etc or materiel students designated; I add supplemental expressions & practice which suit for student's needs.
I focus on interaction in class. We will spend plenty of time on practicing, let the student speak based on the sentence structure learnt in class purposely. My lessons & teaching style
My courses focus on:
* HSK 1-6
* Conversational Mandarin
* Business Mandarin
* Free Talk
* Personalized Class with YOUR Interests.My teaching material

Great as always! Even though we did not have time to discuss before the lesson, she came prepared with a lesson. Very organized and professional.
