About Me
italki teacher since Apr 7, 2020
你好!(nǐ hǎo)- Hello!
Thanks for watching my clip and welcome to my profile!
I’m Will, a professional Mandarin teacher from China. Now I live in Scotland UK, the land of haggis and bagpipes! I had my bachelor, master, and PhD degrees here in Glasgow, the city of dunch and fish & chips.
In my free time, I like to cook different kinds of food and play some sports. I'm passionate about travel, photography, languages, and meeting people from all over the world. I love teaching. Seeing that people learn a language, a culture, and achieve their goals at the same time makes me feel that I have some impact on the world, even if I'm teaching only one person.
你呢?(nǐ ne)- How about you?
Me as a Teacher
If you use English to a Chinese, your voice will reach their ears; however, if you use Mandarin, you can easily reach the heart of those we talk.
Vice versa. I’ve seen how learning a language can change my life, and I want my students to have all kinds possibilities they want and go beyond their boundaries by learning a language.
About me:
✓Over 3 years Mandarin teaching experience in different organisations: a language school, a private school,and the Confucius Institute from 2016 to 2020.
✓Taught Mandarin to adults and children in both private classes and group classes of up to 20 students.
✓A trained formal course teaching assistant/tutor/demonstrator in the university
My lessons & teaching style
Having taught quite a few international students in different types of organizations, I found my students’ motivation for learning Mandarin usually falls into 3 categories: interest, work and relationship. Thus, I craft my lessons tailored to each individual student in terms of what material to use and how much time to put on speaking/reading/writing(typing)/listening practice.
To make it simple - I teach two types of class with two different teaching styles:
• Mandarin Beginners to Advanced • Immersive Mandarin
*Please have a look at the description of each class
*Leave me a message if you cannot find an appropriate time for your class

Will really does a great job, making the lessons stimulating and the learning process effective. He chooses interesting, real-life content (finally there’s hope after learning on so many outdated textbooks without pictures!). He introduces the right amount of vocabs, explains them well, helps you memorize them and gives you plenty of chances to practice and review them. You’re challenged and pushed to do better in a comfortable environment. Highly recommended.

Will is absolutely fantastic! Not only is he punctual and highly responsive but he is really kind and patient as well. I felt very comfortable in our class and I am very confident that I am going to make great progress now that I have such a good teacher. If you are looking for a fun, structured and lively learning environment Will is the way to go. 老师,谢谢!

Will es una de las personas más amables y comprensivas que he conocido. Desde el principio él siempre ha sido muy atento en mi aprendizaje y en mi avance con el idioma, lo cual aprecio bastante. A pesar de que confunda ocasionalmente el idioma inglés con el alemán cuando hablo y tengamos diferencias culturales de vez en cuando, pienso que hemos podido entablar una muy bonita relación.
Will, me dará mucho gusto ser testigo de tu avance en el idioma español y japonés. ¡Tú me motivas mucho a seguir aprendiendo tu idioma y tu cultura! 谢谢您的支持!你真是个大好人!地震了!!
