I have learned English for more than 10 yrs and taught teenagers both Mandarin and English for nearly 2 yrs as a part-time tutor when I was in the uni. Sometimes you may feel frustrated at the beginning of learning Mandarin...but don't worry, Mandarin is also difficult for most Chinese people :) During our lessons, you can feel free to pick up any topics or ask questions. I will help with your pronunciation, words and grammars with patience and bring you an immersive-experience.

I have more than 5 years of teaching experience, including both online and offline classes. I also taught in the US for six weeks, helping kids from non-English countries learn English. I used fun interactive activities, and it was awesome seeing them grow confident in speaking.Kids love my classes because I know some really cool things like magic and other things. I’m happy to offer classes to anyone aged 7 and above. When it comes to bigger friends, it is even easier for me! I am familiar with so many textbooks, and whether you’re studying for exams, preparing for job interviews, or just learning the language for daily travel and life — we can make it happen!

Super Welcoming for Chinese Beginners 😊 Over the past years, I've taught Chinese and English to thousands of students. Teaching Chinese to an American CEO was my most memorable teaching experiences. He was a beginner to Chinese when we started, but now he can communicate effectively with Chinese companies without needing a translator. I also taught English to middle school students. They were very engaged and excited in my class because they always paid a lot attention to either win a game or complete a task. I really enjoy teaching because I can see my students improvements with my help. As a languege learner myself, I believe that having fun in the learning process is very important to keep the motivation up and up.

I learned Thai and Japanese by myself, and I think language learners all have similar problems,lot of words has to remember,Can't use grammar skillfully,Not good enough pronunciation,so we can share our learning experience with each other。 I think it is important to pay attention to the fun and practice of the teaching content, and the same is true for language learning. If the use of language can be refined into all aspects of life, work and learning, then it will be easy to master a language.

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.
