Certified Teacher with patience and passion 👑 Experienced, patient and passionate I work in a high school for about 10 years. I like to interact with my students. I really love teaching. I meet many students from different cultures. It’s really a pleasure. My oldest student is over 60. I’m really touched by his spirit of learning. I bring a relaxing and humorous approach to my classes, creating an atmosphere where students can truly enjoy their learning experience. In classes, I often use videos I collect from tv dramas or movies when I teach grammar or language points, so my students can be exposed to many real life contexts.

Chinese teacher with 12 years of teaching experience & 10 years of Business Interpreting experience I started to think about making a career change to become a Chinese teacher when one of my clients in the US invited me to teach her 8-year-old son basic Mandarin Chinese. As the teaching went on, I felt like I found out what I truly love to do. The story of me being a Chinese teacher just started from there.

Language is a bridge to freedom. ことばは、自由だ。 こんにちは!Hi! I’m Candy, your language teacher on an exciting adventure through words and culture! With a PhD in Theoretical Physics, 10 years in international business, and over a decade of language teaching, I specialize in Business English and Business Japanese, empowering professionals to express themselves clearly, confidently, and authentically in boardroom, email thread, or cross-cultural meeting. I believe that language isn’t just something you study, it’s also something you live. The best way to master a foreign language is to immerse yourself in it at every opportunity. The more you use it, the more it becomes part of you. Having friendly, relaxed conversations in your target language is one of the most effective (and enjoyable!) ways to improve. Whether you're aiming for the JLPT, polishing your accent, or craving conversational fluency, I’m here to make your language journey dynamic, practical, and fun. In class, I focus on speaking, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and listening practice - all tailored to your goals. I’m always happy to answer your questions, provide suggestions and examples, and share extra learning resources so you can keep improving outside of class too. Important Notes: *Recording lessons without permission is not allowed. *Zoom is used only for 30-minute lessons. Please make sure to choose the correct duration when booking.

Frequently asked questions

What level of Chinese do I need to have before taking conversational Chinese classes?

Before taking conversational Chinese classes, it’s recommended that you have at least a basic understanding of the language, ideally at a beginner (A1) or lower-intermediate (A2) level. This would include being familiar with basic vocabulary, simple sentence structures, and common phrases. While it’s possible to start conversational lessons as a complete beginner, having some foundation in pronunciation (like tones) and basic characters will make the process smoother and more effective.

Conversational Chinese classes are designed to help you improve speaking and listening skills, so knowing some basic grammar and vocabulary will allow you to participate in conversations more easily. If you’re a beginner, your tutor will likely focus on building your confidence and helping you practice simple conversations. If you’re at a more intermediate level, the focus can shift to more complex sentence structures and deeper discussions.

Can I take online conversational Chinese classes?

Yes, you can definitely take online conversational Chinese classes, and italki is a great platform for this! It offers one-on-one lessons with native Chinese-speaking tutors who can help you practice speaking, improve your listening skills, and build your confidence in real-life conversations. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you can find a tutor who tailors lessons to your specific needs, helping you focus on topics that interest you, like daily life, travel, or business Chinese. Online conversational Chinese classes are highly flexible, allowing you to schedule lessons at times that suit you, and you can learn from the comfort of your own home.

How many classes do I need to take to become fluent in Chinese?

The number of classes needed to become fluent in Chinese depends on several factors, including your starting level, learning goals, and how much time you can dedicate to studying. For beginners, fluency can take several years to achieve, with consistent study and practice. On average, it might take around 600 to 1,200 hours of study to reach conversational fluency, which can equate to about 1-2 years of regular lessons.

However, becoming fluent also involves immersion, practice outside of lessons, and exposure to the language in different contexts. The key is consistency – taking lessons regularly, engaging in conversations, and practicing vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. Additionally, actively using the language in real-world situations will significantly speed up your progress.

Setting specific milestones and working closely with a tutor on conversational practice can help accelerate your learning and give you a clearer idea of how many lessons you might need to become fluent.

Who are the tutors that will be teaching the conversational Chinese classes?

The tutors teaching conversational Chinese classes on italki are native speakers or highly proficient speakers of Chinese, with a variety of teaching backgrounds and expertise. Some tutors are professional language instructors with formal teaching qualifications, while others are informal teachers with extensive experience in helping learners improve their conversational skills. These tutors come from diverse regions where Chinese is spoken, offering a range of accents and dialects (Mandarin, Cantonese, etc.).

Many tutors also specialize in different areas, such as business Chinese, travel vocabulary, or preparing for Chinese language exams. You can choose a tutor based on your personal learning goals, preferences, and their teaching style. Tutor profiles on italki include information about their qualifications, experience, teaching methods, and reviews from other students, helping you select the right match for your conversational practice.

How do I sign up for conversational Chinese classes?

To sign up for conversational Chinese classes on italki, follow these steps:

Create an Account: If you don’t already have an account, visit italki.com and sign up by entering your email or connecting through a social media account.
