It's not only because I have always loved language learning, but also because I appreciate the opportunities to meet more different people and to exchange our different perspectives. Because of my educational (MBA) and career background, I can also contribute if the students are interested in the business environment of Chinese-speaking countries.

Experienced Chinese Teacher | Taught in China & Ecuador | All Ages Welcome Hello, my name is Olivia. I am a native Mandarin speaker from Xi’an, China—an ancient capital renowned for its rich history and the world-famous Terracotta Warriors. With six years of teaching experience, I am fluent in English and possess conversational proficiency in Spanish. 👩‍🏫My teaching journey began in China, where I taught English at an institution and founded 'Tree House,' an outdoor English-speaking club designed to move language learning beyond traditional classroom boundaries and into real-life scenarios. Currently, I am based in Ecuador, where I teach both Chinese and English to students ranging from ages 3 to 60. I specialize in creating personalized learning plans tailored to each student’s needs, focusing on practical communication skills for everyday situations such as shopping, dining, and traveling. I believe that language is a living tool🔨, and my approach emphasizes authentic, useful expressions over rigid, textbook-based methods or exam-oriented learning. My goal is to help students build confidence and use Chinese comfortably in real-world contexts.

Daily speaking|Business Chinese |Travel Chinese |HSK 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”.

Voice actor + Vibe coder. Standard Mandarin pronunciation, Fluent English (IELTS 7.5). More about me, Please visit my youtube Channel: MarkFlowsCulture I'm Mark — a Mandarin teacher based in Chengdu with 5 years of teaching experience and a background in voice acting. Standard pronunciation isn't a claim I make casually: in lessons I diagnose your tone issues by ear — pitch too high, too low, where exactly the contour breaks — and walk you through the correct mouth shape until the sound lands. For beginners, this is usually the difference between being understood and being misheard. What's unusual about my profile: outside of teaching, I'm a vibe coder. I build practical tools for independent teachers using Claude Code, Python, and Playwright. Running in production for my own business: - message-auto: private message auto-reply bot - class-reminder & booking-reminder: Python workflows over Gmail, Calendar, and Google Sheets - publish-agent: one video to different social media platforms(youtube, Ins, Bilibili, TikTok, Rednote etc.) My academic background is engineering, but my interests run wider: Chinese history, philosophy, economics, culture, and markets — plus modern physics (relativity, quantum mechanics, parallel universe theory). New dedicated lessons on Chinese History, Economics, and Philosophy are coming soon. Fluent English (IELTS 7.5). We can run lessons entirely in English when it helps — especially for beginners, or when explaining complex topics.

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.
