Language worker. Speak Mandarin, English and Italian:) When I was in Italy, I worked as a Chinese teacher and helped some Italians with pronunciation, grammar and oral practice. It was a nice experience for me, because not only did I help them with their Chinese studies, but I also made friends with them. I also started to teach Italian to Chinese students in my country after coming back to China. 在意大利期间,向意大利人提供一对一的中文辅导课程,主要针对发音,语法和口语练习。回国后,向中国学生教授意大利语,主要针对语法和口语。 Quando ero in Italia, offrivo le lezioni di cinese per gli italiani, per migliorare la loro pronuncia, la grammatica e l'orale. Dopo essere ritornata in Cina, ho iniziato a insegnare l'italiano agli studenti cinesi.

Patient and supportive teacher with 8+ years of experience teaching Chinese 06/2016 - 09/2018. I used my spare time to teach Chinese to primary school students in China. This experience taught me more about students' psychology and how to get their attention so that they could learn more. 11/2018 - 05/2020, I began to work in an after-school tutoring program. I taught junior high school students Chinese and politics and did some management work. 06/2020, I started working on Italki. I have taken classes with students from more than 20 countries and completed nearly 3,000 classes. In the future, I will continue this work and constantly improve my teaching level to help more people speak Chinese fluently and understand China better.

7 years experience,more than 7000hrs of teaching Chinese During my teaching periods at language schools in Kunming and Shanghai, I discovered that learning Chinese is not just about memorization, but also about exploration! Make progress together with my students like friends Speciality in grammar teaching and vocabulary teaching Variety of practice methods When we finish class, we will practice at the end to help you remember what we have learned. After the class, I will update the materials so you can review them before our next lesson. For the next class, we will use the first 15 minutes to review all the vocabulary and sentences we learned last time. Then, we will continue learning the new chapter. Looking forward to see you all :D

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?
