Speak English Naturally — Without Translating from Chinese I’ve been teaching English for many years, working closely with learners who understand English well but struggle to speak it naturally. Because I’m fluent in both Chinese and English, I understand exactly where students get stuck — not just in grammar, but in thinking, timing, and confidence. My focus is not “perfect English,” but helping students speak clearly, comfortably, and with less pressure in real situations.

As a teacher, I see language not just as a subject, but as a bridge — a way to connect with people, culture, and ideas. I bring that same mindset into every lesson. My goal is to create a relaxed, motivating environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and expressing themselves. I believe that fluency comes from real communication, not perfection. Because I’m also a content creator on RED (小红书), I love blending creativity and modern learning methods into my teaching — whether it’s through cultural discussions, practical conversation topics, or even real-world content like short videos or news clips. My approach is interactive, student-centered, and personalized.

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.

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.
