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.

Conversation coaching/考试面试辅导/pronunciation correction I believe speaking is the most essential and also the most challenging part of language learning. Often, we can master writing but struggle to hold a conversation. My classes are designed to help you to develop better speaking skills and engage in natural conversations. 我认为口语是语言学习中最重要却也最具挑战性的部分。我们常常能快速掌握写作技能,但在流利对话方面却会遇到困难。而我的课程正是为此而设计,帮助您提升口语能力,并自如地进行有趣且有意义的对话。 Creo que hablar es la parte más esencial y también la más difícil del aprendizaje de un idioma. A menudo, podemos escribir sin problema, pero nos cuesta mucho mantener una conversación. Mis clases están diseñadas para ayudarte a desarrollar tus habilidades orales, de modo que las conversaciones fluyan de manera más natural.

You can use Textbooks, you can watch a video to talk about different topics, and help you correct your pronunciation and teach you new words in the process. If you don't understand anything, we can discuss and answer your confusion. Through my teaching experience and methods, students have made rapid progress, which has helped many students to improve their language level and enable my students to better master Chinese.

Customized courses on demand 💕Conversation,Reading,Chinese character,Writing 💕Beginner - Advanced I have five years of experience teaching Mandarin Chinese, both online and offline. I have taught a variety of students, including children and adults, beginners and advanced learners, students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as foreign students from all over the world. I have also been teaching on other online platforms, with a total of over 5,000 hours of teaching. But italki had not recruited Chinese teachers before, so I had not been able to join this platform to teach until an accidental opportunity in early August 2023. Therefore, the number of lessons I accumulated on this platform is not as much as the teachers who joined earlier. 💕Welcome to book my trial class!

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.
