1. I went to Cambodia to be a Chinese teacher in 2016 and 2017. I worked as a Chinese teacher in a Chinese school, I taught speaking and listening, then I gradually realized that I still needed more things in teaching, so I went back to university to study for a master's degree now.
2. I am learned modern and contemporary Chinese literature, so I am also familiar with Chinese literature, history, and philosophy, I can also help you with these if you need.
3. I lived in Shanghai, I worked for a mandarin school, I taught HSK1235 and conversation class.
4. Now I am living in New Zealand, I teach Mandarin to intermediate school students.My lessons & teaching style
I love teaching languages, making videos and photography. I'd like to give professional language lessons such as speaking, listening, and writing. I also can provide course audios or videos after class. If your language level is high, we will talk about some topics, like society, history or our life. I will write down the points you don't know and always repeat them to make you remember. I am friendly, engaging, and supportive. I totally understand what do language learners need.My teaching material

Teaching Chinese as Second Language - Dalian University of Foreign Languages - 2016During my undergraduate studies from 2012 to 2016, I received comprehensive training in HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) teaching methods. Since beginning my teaching career in 2017, I have successfully guided hundreds of students in passing the HSK exams. My familiarity with the HSK examination process leads me to believe that I am well-equipped to handle this course.

Teaching experience
2022 - 2024
Mandarin TeacherDuring my 15 months in New Zealand, I served as a Chinese teaching assistant at a high school and a Chinese teacher at an elementary school. I was responsible for designing and teaching Chinese language and cultural courses to 22 elementary school classes. I guided students aged 11-13 to understand the basics of the Chinese language and to gain insights into Chinese national culture. This experience has been immensely beneficial to my teaching of Chinese to children.
2024 - Current
Mandarin TeacherI am currently a Chinese language instructor at Dalian University of Foreign Languages, where I teach courses in Elementary Chinese Listening, Advanced Chinese Speaking, and Advanced Chinese Writing. My teaching spans from beginner levels to academic writing. The teaching materials are in accordance with university regulations, utilizing textbooks such as "Developing Chinese." The content and design of my lessons are tailored to meet the needs of the students.
Education
2020 - 2022
Bachelor’s - Teaching Chinese as Second Language
2018 - 2021
Master's - Contemporary and Modern Chinese LiteratureDuring my graduate studies, I delved into subjects such as Chinese history, modern and contemporary literature, literary theory, Chinese philosophy, and Western philosophy. I believe that this academic background has been instrumental in enhancing the fluency and eloquence of advanced-level Chinese language learners.

Cherry 老师 is the best!! I started lessons with her three years ago and we're still going strong <3 So warm, thoughtful, understanding, supportive, and creative!
She easily matches my level of understanding and corrects me in such an open and kind way that I am never afraid to just speak regardless of the mistakes I will make. With good prompts, topics specialised to my interest and situation, it was easy to speak and she would supply vocabulary and structures to help me tell my story. Learning always feels almost effortless with Cherry 老师.
老师, 你真的很好！ ❤️

车厘子会清楚地解释很难的词语和语法。比如：我应该说哪个confused的词，怎么用。她会给你写你的笔记，所以可以复习你刚才学什么。我开始上她的课，虽然我感觉很紧张说中文，但是她让我放松，所以可以练习我的口语与听力。我建议你上她的课。Cherry can clearly explain hard words and grammar. For example, which “confused” should I use. She will write some notes for you so you can revise what you have just learnt. When I started attending her class I was nervous to speak Chinese, however she allowed me to relax and practice my speaking and listening. I recommend you to attend her class.

Cherry is patient, knowledgeable, and a great conversationalist. I felt very comfortable chatting with her. She gently corrected me when I made mistakes and took notes for me to review. She explained her plan for me and I'm so excited for the next lesson! 谢谢您！
