Hi guys. My name is Anthony and my Chinese name is Kang kang. Thank you for reading my profile. I have been taking lessons as a student on italki since 2016 with more than 500 lessons finished. So I know exactly what it feels like to learn another language and what makes a good teacher.
I like to act as a facilitator, providing opportunities for the student to talk, and offering regular corrections, if that's what the student needs. I enjoy listening as much as possible, to allow the student to gain confidence in speaking skills. Meeting students is an honor and pleasure.
Me as a Teacher
I worked in a private language school for 2 years as a teaching assistant which gives me lots of real-world experience teaching kids as well.
As a Language teacher myself, I really love Anthony’s interactive and fun approach to giving classes. With him I really learn how to express myself and speak speak speak!! He is super attentive, motivating, patient and fun. There’s not a single boring moment in class and he gives a lot of feedback regarding grammar and speaking!

Anthony has really helped me feel more confident in my speaking and listening skills. He is a kind, flexible teacher who works to find interesting conversation topics and activities that make speaking practice fun.
He always takes notes during lessons so you can reference any new words you learned that day. And if you're interested in taking the HSK, he also has materials to review HSK vocabulary and grammar.
I'd highly recommend Anthony if you're looking for a supportive teacher to help grow your listening and speaking abilities.

Anthony is a great teacher for my 9-year-old daughter. He uses fun games to keep her engaged, and his choice of Mandarin cartoons and songs are age-appropriate and fun. She has tried many Mandarin teachers on italki, and Anthony is the best at making my shy daughter talk. Thank you Anthony! We are grateful!

Just finished my first lesson with Anthony and it went great! We introduced ourselves, and started talking about my goals for learning. I felt relaxed and welcomed to talk freely so I could practice straight away. Anthony is very good at encouraging you to talk, providing guidance or correction only when needed. Looking forward to more lessons!
