Make the world understand your Chinese!
Hi, I’m a professional tutor with 10 years of expertise in teaching Chinese pronunciation, holding a master’s degree in Chinese language education.
I specialize in using lively materials such as movie lines and pop songs to help you master the most practical daily expressions in a relaxed atmosphere. I have created a unique method that quickly solves the most troublesome tone issues for foreign learners, making your Chinese sound authentic and native！
Whether you're a professional, an exam candidate, or a culture enthusiast, my classes will give you the great sense of achievement of being praised for your excellent pronunciation as soon as you speak!Me as a Teacher
I can help you with:
-Pronunciation, Listening Speaking, Reading and Writing
-Exam Preparation: HSK, YCT, other exams/application and Interviews
-Conversation Practice: Topics like life skills, movies, arts, jobs, series, musics, videos, delicious food, job, travelling and so on.
-Confidence, Motivation, and Empowerment: I will create a pure linguistic environment and desire multiple activities to better your emotional experience
-China Life and Culture
-Vocabulary, Essay, and Document Checking
-Survival Chinese
I’ll also help you practice independently with daily exercises and written tasks to keep improving outside our lessons. My lessons & teaching style
Every student learns differently, some prefer conversation, others want clear grammar guidance. I tailor each lesson to your goals, helping you develop stronger vocabulary, expression, and confidence. I use custom materials to make your fluency smooth and natural.
My main goals are:
1.To make sure you get all your questions answered, whatever they may be.
2.To make you're comfortable conversing with any Chinese speaker you come across.
3. To use my English language-learning journey as a means of encouragement for you.
We all have moments of frustration and difficulty so I want you to know you are not alone, and with the help of italki, you can meet your goals!My teaching material

Joanna is a lovely teacher. She has perfectly adapted the lessons to my level and goals. I have been very nervous to speak Chinese, but in her lessons she is very inviting and makes me more confident to speak Chinese. When I make mistakes, she gracefully corrects them. I am also thankful she follows my request of conducting the lesson fully in Chinese. Thank you!

I've taken quite a few lessons with Johanna Qin, and I always appreciate how the lesson starts off with conversational Chinese and how her teaching style is flexible, allowing me to study and learn texts I'm interested in. In addition, she clearly explains differences between similar grammar points in Chinese and, if necessary, in English. The conversational practice has markedly improved my speaking ability in Chinese. For context I study Chinese at university, and my teachers complemented my increase in conversational fluency, which I attribute to taking these lessons. Overall, I enjoy the flexibility with what I study, the clear explanation of grammar points, and the conversational (and listening) practice.
