🎯Chinese for Beginners | 💼Business Chinese | 📊Pro Economic Background | ✨Experienced Tutor Hi there! I'm Di, and you can call me Joy too. I graduated from one of the top finance and economics universities in China, majoring in Economic-oriented English. I gained years of experience in finance roles at multinational corporations after graduation, and now I’m a language tutor. I have a range of hobbies, including traveling, photography, watching movies, reading, writing, and playing the violin/ukulele. My passion for teaching grew from a core belief: language is more than a communication tool—it’s a cultural bridge. As a culture lover, I’m eager to share Chinese culture and learn about yours. As an experienced language tutor, I excel at creating a relaxed, interactive learning atmosphere, and integrate diverse teaching tools to deliver immersive lessons. With well-designed engaging activities, I help students learn with joy and build confidence in oral expression. What am I good at? 📚 Linguistic Insight & Support. As an English major, I know where non-native learners struggle and their common mistakes. Therefore, I can create focused strategies to tackle these specific challenges. 💼 Business-Focused Expertise. With a professional economics background, I help business learners master economic terms, communicate fluently in commercial scenarios, and gain insights into Chinese economic contexts and cultural norms. 🌱 Beginner-Friendly Guidance. For Chinese newcomers, I use English when needed to help you get started quickly and feel comfortable.

italki Outstanding Chinese Teacher of April & May 2026 🏅 Hello! Hallo! Welcome to my profile. My name is Jack. I’m from Shanghai, a beautiful city in China, and I’m more than happy to help you improve your Chinese. 🇨🇳 Chinese is my native language, and I speak it with very standard pronunciation. I also speak fluent English. If your Chinese is still basic, that’s totally fine! We can use English to explain things during our lessons. I also teach authentic native Shanghai dialect for daily conversation and local culture. Zudem habe ich an der Universität Deutsch als Hauptfach studiert, daher sind Gespräche auf Deutsch ebenfalls kein Problem. 你好!欢迎来到我的主页。我叫 Jack,来自中国美丽的城市上海。我非常乐意帮助你提高中文。🇨🇳 中文是我的母语,我会说一口非常标准的中文。我也可以说流利的英语,如果你的中文还不太好,完全没有问题,我们可以在上课的时候借助英语来解释。同时,我在大学里主修了德语,所以德语交流也没有问题。 我同时也教授地道上海话日常口语与本地文化。 I have over three years of experience teaching Chinese, primarily conducting online lessons for adults, covering daily Chinese communication,HSK courses and exam preparation. My Chinese classes focus on speaking. Based on my own language learning experience, I believe one important tip is: start speaking right from the beginning — even if you’re a complete beginner. The more you speak, the faster you’ll improve. Grammar and vocabulary will become much easier when you speak actively, and I can help you with daily conversations, pronunciation, vocabulary, and any other skills you’d like to work on. If you’d like – authentic materials like podcast clips, articles or ads. We’ll learn in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

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.
