Learning Mandarin through the News with a Former Journalist As a teacher, I believe that language learning should be dynamic and immersive. My background in journalism has equipped me with the tools to make Mandarin both relevant and engaging. I focus not just on the technical aspects of the language, like grammar and vocabulary, but also on the cultural context that brings the language to life. By integrating real-world examples and current events into my lessons, I make learning Mandarin an enriching experience that goes beyond the classroom.

Not sure what to say in real situations? In your first lesson, we fix what you actually say. I’ve been teaching on italki since 2020, working with learners from many different backgrounds and situations. Over time, I’ve learned that most communication problems are not about vocabulary — but about timing, tone, and understanding what’s really happening in a moment. In my lessons, I adjust to your speaking speed, your level, and how you process language — so you don’t feel rushed or overwhelmed. Instead of giving you fixed answers, I help you see what’s happening in a situation, so you can respond more clearly and naturally. The goal is not just to “say correct Chinese”, but to feel comfortable, confident, and understood when you speak.

Native Mandarin & Cantonese Speaker with Fluent English Support~ Hi, I'm Tofu from Malaysia. I am a native speaker of both Mandarin and Cantonese. My entire education, up to my Ph.D. in Chemistry, was conducted in English. You don't need to worry about communication barriers; I can explain complex Chinese pronunciations and contexts clearly in English. I enjoy chatting with people from different backgrounds. I believe making mistakes is the only way to improve. My main goal is to create a relaxed environment where you feel comfortable speaking Chinese. Because of my science background, I like to break down difficult tones, slang, and grammar into simple, logical steps. I am patient, straightforward, and ready to help you learn at your own pace. My classes are conversational and customized to your goals. We won't follow rigid textbooks. We can practice daily Mandarin vocabulary, talk about food, or discuss any topic you are interested in. When you get stuck, I will explain the cultural context in fluent English. My focus is to get you speaking confidently in real-life situations. (Note: If you also want to practice Cantonese, just let me know!)

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?
