Personalized | HSK | Kids & Teens | Business &Travel Chinese | Practical & Daily|Patient Native I teach in a gentle, structured way. We’ll find your level and goals, then move at a steady, comfortable pace. Each few weeks, we’ll review progress and celebrate small wins. I use pocket sentence cards and high-frequency words to turn “I know it” into “I can say it.” Real-life topics, light games, and friendly feedback make learning natural and stress-free. Focus: • Beginners — speak within the first month. • HSK — vocab & grammar lists, 4-week check-ins. • Teens — phonics, games, weekly parent updates. • Daily/Travel — task cards for daily scenes. • Business — resume, emails, meetings, etiquette.

A PhD Candidate and an Inspired Mandarin Teacher with over 5 Years of Teaching Experience I used to work as a language teacher in the middle school division of an international school in Shenzhen, and I also served as a Chinese speech coach for students. It was a rewarding experience that allowed me to engage with language teaching and contribute to the growth of young minds in their language journey. 我曾在深圳一所国际学校的中学部担任语言老师,同时担任学生的中文演讲教练。这是一段意义颇丰的经历,让我有机会投身于语言教学,在年轻学子的语言学习之旅中添砖加瓦,见证他们的成长。 Currently, I'm studying and living in the UK, and in my spare time, I offer Chinese language teaching. My total teaching hours, both offline and online, have exceeded 1000 hours, indicating extensive experience in teaching Mandarin Chinese. 我目前在英国学习和生活,业余时间教授中文。我的线下和线上授课时间总计超过1000个小时,教授汉语的经验十分丰富。

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.

How do I sign up for conversational Chinese classes?
