Certified IPA teacher with over 6 years of teaching experience Hello, future friends! I’m your Chinese teacher, from Xi’an, China. For the past four years on italki, I’ve taught students worldwide, sharing the beauty of Chinese. My own language adventure has taken me from China to teaching in Tanzania, Africa, and now to Japan, where I'm currently working on my Ph.D. in Linguistics. As a language learner myself, I understand the challenges and joys of mastering a new tongue. In our lessons, we’ll move beyond textbooks to master real-world, authentic Chinese. We’ll also explore language logic, cultural stories, and even Chinese calligraphy (my 10-year passion). I aim to be your teacher, guide, and friend. Let's get started! 1.I have an English degree and am currently pursuing a PhD in Linguistics in Japan, I apply scientific methods for efficient Chinese learning. 2.One year as a volunteer teacher in Tanzania, Africa, specializing in cross-cultural student support. 3.Since 2019, I've conducted over 1,500 online classes, teaching students from age 4 to 62. 1. 大学では英語を専攻し、現在は日本の大学院で言語学の博士課程に在籍しています。英語または日本語で、科学的・体系的な方法を用いてあなたの効率的な中国語習得をサポートします。 2.アフリカのタンザニアで1年間ボランティア教師として活動した、実践的な経験があります。 3. 2019年から1500回を超えるオンラインレッスン実績があります。4歳から62歳まで、あらゆる年齢の生徒様への指導経験があり、一人ひとりの学習スタイルに合わせたレッスンが可能です。 1.大学主修英语,现在日本攻读语言学博士学位,可用流利的英语或日语进行教学,用科学系统的方法帮您高效掌握中文。 2.曾在非洲坦桑尼亚担任志愿者教师一年,实地经验丰富。 3.1500+节在线课程经验,成功指导过4岁到62岁的各年龄层学生。 1.Your Goals First: We'll chat about what you want to achieve—talking to friends, traveling, or watching dramas.

It was my first ever speaking lesson and Lucy was incredibly kind and patient in helping me feel less nervous and encouraged me to speak. As a teacher myself, I know how challenging it can be to teach students who are new to the language but Lucy was a complete professional. Will definitely book again.

Lucy老师 is skilled, fun and professional. She tailors the class to my own needs. Always ready to answer questions with examples, she encourages me to speak and teaches grammar points in an easy way. Also, she speaks English very well. I highly recommend her class.
