About Me
italki teacher since Jul 19, 2021
My name is Tao. I was born and raised in Wuhan. I am a native Chinese speaker. After working as an English teacher for beginners in an adult English training institution for 2 years, I had a career shift to securities investment.
I love traveling, history, art, and I am addicted to different cultures. I started my own business as a professional travel planner designing overseas trips for high-net-worth individual 5 years ago. I have already travelled to 23 countries in the past 7 years and made many local friends during the trips.
I think we can enhance mutual understanding and reduce misunderstandings and conflicts by traveling and communicating with people from all over the world.

My lessons & teaching style
By taking the course, you will not only master the skills of speaking Chinese, but also understand Chinese culture, history, and what China and Chinese people are like today. I will also talk about the interesting stories we encountered in our daily lives. And use some interesting designs and methods to combine these stories with the Chinese language points so that you can learn in a relaxing and pleasant way. My expertise is history, art, architecture and private equity. And I am good at PS & PPT.

Li Tao is a well organised teacher with a lot of knowledge on the grammar construct of Mandarin. He also knows how to integrate in the lesson the history of China with the Mandarin language.

Always appreciate how structured and thorough classes are. Li Tao is great at pushing you just far enough out of your comfort zone to truly learn, while making sure everything is comprehensible.
