Hi！My name is Shuwen, also you can call me Maple. I am a native Chinese speaker .Both Mandarin and Cantonese are my mother tongue. I have a wide range of hobbies, sport, cooking, traveling and planting. Before becoming a Chinese tutor I worked in an business organization related to internation hospitality management. I shared Chinese culture with my overseas colleagues and taught them Mandarian and Cantonese. With my working experience, an effective support will be found in business etiquette and marketing through out our Business Chinese learning.
On the other hand, I'm also a mother. I enjoy the learning with children and always offer the tailored course to help them learning.Me as a Teacher
I'm a passionated Chinese tutor. My teaching style is flexible just tailor to your need and your interests where you can feel fun and practical. I can help you to improve your pronunciation, grammar, listening, speaking, reading and writing. If you’re the very beginner, let’s explore the Chinese journey from Pinyin and pictography by which you will find the secrets of pronunciation and Chinese characters components.
We can study by text books (such as HSK, Business Chinese, YCT, Easy Step to Chinese), by other material (like the news, scenario, stories, songs, video, TV series) corresponding to your level or just conversation practice with different topics to help you improve your fluency.My lessons & teaching style
The methodoloy of teaching Chinese is flexible according to the student's need, interest and purpose of study. Sweet Chinese song, interesting Chinese story and wonderful Chinese culture will lead Chinese learning more easier and fun.

Shuwen is part of my family. We talk everyday about what’s happening in our lives.
Putonghua has a special life for us both that we share in our every interaction.

I have always felt a close relationship with Shuwen, as my teacher. She includes me in her family, and keeps me abreast of all changes in her family.

Maple was very friendly and energetic. She helped me with pronunciation but her lesson structure and style doesn't suit my needs. I struggled to follow along with her use of the whiteboard feature.
