Hi, my name is Zhentan. I was born and raised in Beijing. I currently work as an English teacher. I am a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese and fluent in English. I love badminton, martial arts, motorsports and watching movies etc. I am passionate about language, and I want to pass on that passion to everyone.

Me as a Teacher
I am a CELTA-qualified English teacher. I have worked in various schools, which gave me the experience of teaching both adults and middle school/ high school students. I am comfortable with general English, business English and conversational English. During my teaching time, I have helped many students to improve their English, both for work and general purposes. I find it beneficial to apply different teaching methods for each student, so I will customise lessons to suit your particular needs. Hope we can have a great time working together! :-)
My lessons & teaching style
I appreciate the atmosphere of a communicative and student-centred approach. Instead of just teaching the knowledge, I would involve learners in discovering the language. I think this is a better approach to enable learners to remember and understand the knowledge. I would also design proper lessons according to the different needs of learners. I can help you to practice your reading, listening, and speaking abilities. I can prepare casual discussions and structured lessons, the way you like them.

I am thrilled to continue learning English with Zhentan. First of all, I like his teaching. He will prepare pictures, articles and Q & A etc. to stimulate your enthusiasm for speaking English. Secondly, he is extremely patient. He will listen to your feedback of courses and adjust the way of class in time. I highly recommend you to take his class. Thanks!
