🌈🇨🇳🇯🇵Bilingual🤓customized👀professional☺️high quality🤩fun I am a certified Chinese 🇨🇳 and Japanese 🇯🇵 teacher. I started teaching both languages professionally back in 2015, and since then, I’ve delivered over 13,000 lessons to students from all around the world—including China, Japan, South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Colombia, Venezuela, and France. I first discovered italki in 2018 while learning English myself, and by 2020, I decided to begin sharing my languages here too. Teaching is more than just a job to me—it brings real meaning to my life, and nothing makes me happier than helping others make progress. I’m confident we’ll work well together and discover so many interesting topics to talk about! Looking for

Certified TESOL/Chinese Teacher Most of my experience has motivated me to become ‘cultural ambassador’ - testing methods, challenge stereotypes, reaching consensus. My ultimate goal is being able to gallivant among thought bubbles through my works and learn, listen, respect others. And I hope this would benefit you to talk in any language, with anyone anywhere. It'd my pleasure to be your guide on this journey. We decided to learn a second language not to 'feel content', but because we are never settled within comfort zone. This is what I wanted to achieve through teaching, hope you'd like it, too!

With over 10 years of teaching experience|Daily speaking|Business Chinese |Travel Chinese |HSK1-4 In my years of teaching, students range from kindergarten children to adults. For young kids, I use children’s songs, picture books and interactive games to spark interest, helping them learn basic vocabulary and Pinyin while playing. For adults, I adjust focus based on scenarios (daily/business communication) and goals (HSK preparation) to solve practical problems. Besides, I have online teaching experience, know various teaching tools well, helping many go from “zero foundation” to “proficient use”.

A language learner turned to language teacher I have been teaching the violin since 2010. Although it might not be exactly the same as teaching languages, I believe the skills I gain from this experience is relevant: how to motivate students, how to put myself in their shoes, etc. I myself have taken many lessons in italki (more than 200 with around 30 teachers) so I know how exactly to make online learning less intimidating & enjoyable for students

A certified teacher who has been teaching since 2018, has rich experience teaching adults and kids. I am very friendly, kind, patient, helpful, and passionate. These personalities make me very popular in English school I study in. I always help other students with their English. They tell me that they never forget anything I teach them and when we first met, they felt relaxed to talk to me because I was always smiling. That’s why I decided to become a Chinese teacher as a second language. Apart from helping you with your Chinese, I can learn new things by teaching.

7-year experience of language teaching. Free, fun and flexible class. In university, I made friends with 3 foreign teachers. We used to do a language exchange. I taught them Chinese for free to help them fit into the lives in China better. Besides, from 2012 to 2019, I became a tutor as a second job, to help 6 students learn languages. Teaching methodologies: - Instructional scaffolding. I am just like a scaffold. I'll help you when you need in order to enhance learning. Supports will gradually be removed as you develop autonomous skills. - Zone of proximal development, which means the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he/she can achieve with guidance from a teacher. I will focus on this zone and explore your hidden potential.

Fun & Multilingual Chinese Tutor | World Traveler & Photographer I’m patient, open-minded, and easy to talk to. Because I’ve personally experienced many different cultures, I truly enjoy exchanging ideas about the interesting, sometimes funny, differences between them. I believe language learning is not only about grammar and vocabulary, but also about understanding how people think and express themselves in different contexts. My background in documentary work helps me notice details, listen carefully, and adjust my teaching style to each student’s goals and personality. I especially enjoy creating a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable to speak, make mistakes, and grow naturally.

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.
