Hi, everyone! My name is Sun Hongbo. Sun is my last name. You can call me April. I'm a Chinese native and I'm also a Beijinger, so if you are interested in Beijing accent, I will be very glad to help! I studied my master degree of Education in the University of Edinburgh. And I'm holding the English teaching qualification certificate and Mandarin certificate. For the past few years, I've worked as an assistant manager in a bank, a translator in a psychological consultant company and now I'm working in a school as an English teacher. Engaged in education industry for many years, understand the connection and difference between Chinese and English.I love talking to different people with different background, which is why I met many people from foreign countries who is studying or working in Beijing. I taught some of them Mandarin and one of my students passed HSK 6 and now studying in Renmin University of China. With years of teaching experience and keen observation of students' mentality and behavior, I can quickly find problems in the teaching process and adjust the class schedule in time. I am patient, diligent and responsible. Provide exam guidance Provide basic instruction for beginners Targeted topic communication and skill development for intermediate and advanced Chinese learners My class is relaxed and lively. Knowledge points will be sorted out after class, and personalized tutorials can be provided according to individual situations

Sān Lǎoshī is very patient and has helped me a lot in just a 30 min “trial” lesson with intonation and tones. I am a beginner, studying only for 1 week now. My goal is fluency in 3 years and I want to speak Mandarin Chinese with an appropriate accent. She speaks English extremely well and seems to really understand where native English speakers have difficulty with pronunciation and knows how to explain the way to get it right. I am booking more lessons! Thank you. I look forward to working with her more.

The repetition and attention to detailed pronunciation is exactly what I need, and possibly more importantly what I asked for and the goal I had in mind. Sān Lăoshī’s mastery of English is also very helpful to give examples of pronunciation in my native language to help me understand.

It's such a pleasure to take lessons from April. I've been her student for 3 years! I like the way she explained complex materials so that I could understand them easily. She's very positive, friendly, and supportive.
