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.

7-year experience of language teaching. Free, fun and flexible class. In university, I made friends with 3 foreign teachers. We used to do a language exchange. I taught them Chinese for free to help them fit into the lives in China better. Besides, from 2012 to 2019, I became a tutor as a second job, to help 6 students learn languages. Teaching methodologies: - Instructional scaffolding. I am just like a scaffold. I'll help you when you need in order to enhance learning. Supports will gradually be removed as you develop autonomous skills. - Zone of proximal development, which means the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he/she can achieve with guidance from a teacher. I will focus on this zone and explore your hidden potential.

Fun & Multilingual Chinese Tutor | World Traveler & Photographer I’m patient, open-minded, and easy to talk to. Because I’ve personally experienced many different cultures, I truly enjoy exchanging ideas about the interesting, sometimes funny, differences between them. I believe language learning is not only about grammar and vocabulary, but also about understanding how people think and express themselves in different contexts. My background in documentary work helps me notice details, listen carefully, and adjust my teaching style to each student’s goals and personality. I especially enjoy creating a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable to speak, make mistakes, and grow naturally.

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.
