I am good at writing, have a good language sense, can better grasp the sense of humor between different languages, so I am definitely not a boring teacher. The pleasure of language lies in learning it, then mastering it and using it flexibly. Studying with me, is gonna be an easy and comfortable thing. If there's any teaching way you dislike , please always feel free to talk, I will be very grateful.

I'm here to help all level learners to improve their Chinese faster. ✍️For beginners, my English is fluent, so I can use that as a medium language to explain the grammar points and new vocabulary to help you understand better and solve your questions more efficiently; ✍️For intermediate and advanced learners, I think the fastest way to scale new heights is to practice with a native, learning common phrases and colloquial sayings that you can't find in any textbooks.

4+ Years Experience | Daily Conversation & HSK I have experience teaching Chinese to students from different backgrounds, including beginners and professionals. My lessons focus on practical communication, helping students feel comfortable speaking Chinese in real-life situations. Before becoming a full-time Chinese teacher, I worked in engineering and R&D in Shanghai. This experience allows me to also help professionals who want to use Chinese in work environments or communicate with Chinese colleagues and partners. In my classes, I adapt the lesson to each student’s level and goals, whether you want to start from zero, improve your speaking skills, or learn Chinese for professional situations.

For any language learners, I believe a good and clear pronunciation is very important, especially for Chinese , there are four tones just for one character, no metion some special ones have different ways of reading and have multi meanings.

I can help with all the levels of Chinese learners , from nb to advanced, 1⃣️Chinese for all the levels 2⃣️Spoken Chinese 3⃣️Written Chinese 4⃣️HSK 1-6 The topics can be: 1⃣️Chinese for daily topics 2⃣️Business 3⃣️Chinese for traveling 4⃣️Academy

Experienced certified tutor from Taiwan | 2000+ lessons I welcome students of all levels; from absolute beginners to upper intermediate. My conversational lessons focus on speaking, pronunciation and listening – let’s conquer those troublesome tones together! Lessons can be casual, serious or somewhere in-between. It’s up to you. If you have a specific goal, you can decide on your own lesson topics. Perhaps you would like to be able to order in restaurants, barter at markets, improve your business skills or just chat with friends or work colleagues. However, I’m also very happy to prepare lessons that I think will best improve your Mandarin skills.

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?

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.
