I am a good language partner who can make you improve a little bit every day. 从2020年开始我在italki上成为一个中文tutor,我积累了一些英语教学的经验。我的学生主要是成年人,他们的学习目的不是为了考试,而是纯粹地想掌握中文这门语言,并应用在日常的生活之中。我的学生中也有七岁的孩子。所以,我能够准确地分辨出我的学生的中文水平,并能够找出适当的学习方法。我从每一个学生的学习经历中积累了很多如何快速提高学生学习效率的经验。 我还在教学经验的基础上,根据学生的实际水平定做了一些教案。对于每个严肃的学者,我会为我的学生建立一个学习的档案。让学生能够感到到学习的过程和看到自己的进步速度。 我经常建议我的学生去尝试一些新的方法,但是我不会强制学生去做,因为每个学生学习的目的和学习的方法不一样。我相信一个人在最轻松的状态下的学习是最有效率的。我所做的就是提供给我的学生以更多的选择。这样做的另外一个好处是,帮助我的学生找到学习中的盲点。有过语言学习经历的人往往会有这样的体会:很多的东西只是不知道而已,其实并不难。所以我很喜欢找出我的学生的“不知道”的东西,这并不是让他们难堪,相反,这有助于让他们快速地建立起对中文的全面了解。 如果可能,我会和我的学生去讨论一些深刻的问题,这样有助于快速地建立起中文思维。一个事实是:一个语言学习者不可能遍历所有的语言应用场景,也不可能掌握素有的语言词汇,母语使用者也不例外。另外一个事实是:语言是动态的,不是静态的。新的词汇和新的意思不断产生。重要的是简历起一种新的语言思维模式,而不是尝试去掌握关于这门语言的所有。

I have great patience in teaching. 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.

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!

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

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.
