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.

Speak Natural Mandarin Through Stories & Real-Life Conversation (Intermediate) What sets my teaching apart is a calm, low-pressure environment where speaking feels safe and natural. I believe language learning works best when it’s enjoyable, meaningful, and connected to real life. In our lessons, we may use short stories, pictures, comics, lyrics, or video clips - always based on your interests. The goal is not to “perform perfectly,” but to practice expressing real ideas in real Mandarin. As a language learner myself, I understand the ups and downs of the process. You don’t need to overthink or prepare heavily. We focus on steady, natural progress through relaxed and consistent practice!

    Learning Chinese (Mandarin)

    It has been 3 weeks since I’ve started learning Mandarin with Pei in anticipation for my trip to Taiwan. I truly could not have chosen a better teacher! Pei is extremely kind, encouraging, and patient! After gauging my level and discussing my goals during the trial lesson, she was able to immediately provide me with the perfect learning plan based on my needs; and it has been going flawlessly! I am progressing quickly, and feel that I have built up the confidence I’ll need to communicate with ease during my trip. One thing I love about Pei’s lessons is how immersive they are. She always encourages me to use Mandarin wherever possible, even if I happen to say something in passing that’s unrelated to the lesson. That way, the language rolls off my tongue more naturally. She also teaches me everyday vocab & phrases used in Taiwan that aren’t found in textbooks, which I love! I can't recommend Pei enough!

    I have enjoyed working with 小雪 for about a year, as I progressed from HSK3 to HSK6+. She is well read and spontaneously conversational across a wide range of topics spanning from culture to STEM. For example, she was able to correct and guide my production of domain-specific vocabulary in fields ranging from Chinese animated cow film memes, to emergent abilities in LLMs, to Scandinavian pigeon behavior...

    My daughter is at a primary school in Singapore. Her school Chinese teacher often scolded her, and she came to dislike Chinese itself. Anna 老师encouraged her so much and gave her practical study tips, and they practised the oral exam and compositions together. In her composition test, she remembered what Anna 老师 had told her. She is much more positive about Chinese now. I highly recommend this teacher to any child who has lost confidence in Chinese.

    In the beginning I trialled a few other teachers but stuck to Catherine because I found her lessons the best. I have been learning with Catherine for 6 months and have found her lessons to be engaging and very helpful. She can vary the lessons according to my needs. Initially I was travelling to China, so we did travel related lessons but now I want to improve my conversational skills, so she further adapted the lesson. She sends notes and homework after each lesson which helps me stay disciplined. I highly recommend Catherine as a tutor. Jiāyóu!

    I've been studying Mandarin Chinese at the beginner from Maggie for a few months now, and I like the approach she takes. She gives instruction just in Chinese as much as possible, using objects around us and word sheets she's made as chances to introduce vocabulary. She's also willing to explain usage patterns (e.g. grammar, word choice), again in Chinese as much as possible with written examples. Today I managed to describe my weekend to her in Chinese. It took some back and forth, but she used every difficulty as a chance to teach something new.

    Recently my schedule has been packed and work keeps me extremely busy, yet just thinking about my Chinese lessons fills me with joy! I feel so, so lucky to have found Jianxin, a truly one-of-a-kind Chinese teacher! For someone like me who tends to bury himself in work, learning Chinese has never felt like a task or a burden. On the contrary, it's become my little escape — a quiet, joyful pause in the middle of a hectic life. I honestly believe that only Jianxin could make learning a language feel this light and magical. In class, her boundless energy and wholehearted dedication to teaching have deeply inspired me, and little by little, they've changed the way I think about learning. For me, studying Chinese isn’t a short-term goal — it’s a journey I want to pursue long-term. Every lesson gives me more than language skills; I soak up her passion and energy, leaving class excited for what’s ahead. I have the deepest admiration for Jianxin — she's truly special!

    Jan ist der perfekte Lehrer. Immer pünktlich, die Ruhe in Person und er kann gut mit meiner tiefen Frustschwelle umgehen. Der Unterricht ist immer ein guter Mix aus kleinen Dialogen, Besprechung von Fragen und Vokabular, Aussprachetraining, Einheiten aus Lehrmitteln und freien Themen. Sein Deutsch ist wirklich ausserordentlich gut, so kann ich auch mal erklären, was ich eigentlich sagen wollte, wenn ein von mir zusammengebastelter Satz mal unverständlich ist. Meine Syntax ist teilweise an den Haaren herbeigezogen und er checkt trotzdem was ich sagen wollte. Beim Fremdsprachen lernen habe ich eine recht hohe Hemmschwelle einfach zu sprechen und sätze auszuprobieren. Bei Jan habe ich das mittlerweile verloren und kann hemmungslos üben. Ich kann Jan nur wärmstens empfehlen: immer höflich, nett, aufmerksam, kompetent und motivierend. Sein Unterricht strukturiert, lehrreich und interessant.

    As a Vietnamese speaker who speaks both English and Vietnamese, I also appreciate that Jenny is fluent in both languages. She can explain Chinese concepts clearly in either English or Vietnamese, which is especially helpful when I have difficulty understanding a particular grammar point or expression. Her ability to explain Chinese from both language perspectives makes learning much easier and more effective. She provides well-structured and easy-to-follow learning materials, which makes it much easier to review and understand each lesson. What I especially appreciate is her ability to understand the challenges I face as a Vietnamese speaker learning Chinese. She recognizes that certain Chinese sounds, grammar structures, and sentence patterns can be confusing from a Vietnamese learner’s perspective. Overall, she is a patient, supportive, and knowledgeable teacher. Her structured approach and clear explanations have helped me build a stronger foundation in Chinese.

    今天我们复习了语法和(词(?))。Today, we reviewed grammar and vocabulary. Yasmine was very patient with me when I had forgotten the pronunciation of some characters. First, she would give me a hint; if I still couldn't remember it, she would tell me the word again and and the meaning. I appreciate her calm and patient way of teaching me, because helps me gain the confidence/motivation to practice, instead of avoiding it due to fear of making mistakes. 谢谢老师。

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.).

You can choose a tutor based on your personal learning goals, preferences, and their teaching style.
