Hello everyone! My name is Sam. I am a native Mandarin speaker who is enthusiastic about teaching Mandarin Chinese and English. I also enjoy learning foreign languages and cultures.
I studied Business Management at the University of Western Ontario in Canada. After finishing my study, I started working as an accountant while teaching Chinese as a private tutor at the same time.
Besides Mandarin and English, I can also speak French and Russian. I am currently learning German and Swedish in my spare time.
I also enjoy playing the piano and the violin, traveling, going to music concerts and cinemas.
Ik als leerkracht
I have experience in teaching general Chinese and English in the classroom and online. I also have experience in teaching HSK, business English, and IELTS exam preparation.
I have a CELTA English teaching certificate granted by Cambridge.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
The content of my lessons usually depends on the students' goals of learning. I can always adjust my methods of teaching and learning pace to better assist students to reach their goals and expected levels. I often encourage my students to use their learning languages as much as possible to practice their language skills.
My lessons are always friendly, comfortable, and relaxing. Aside from teaching, it is also good to have casual conversations to help you enjoy the learning process.

Great first lesson with Sam! I am an American Born Chinese so I know accents and a bit of vocabulary (know enough to order food in a Chinese restaurant), but need help with everything else. Sam was very patient and mapped out a comprehensive curriculum, which I'm excited to start. Highly recommend!!

Today we started with a discussion that used words about elections. Then we reviewed some texts. I read them out loud to practice my pronunciation, and then we discuss the meanings and the expressions used in these texts. I learnt some new expressions and had a lot of practice in speaking today. Another great lesson – thanks, Sam!

Today we revised homework. I wrote an argument based on new words we learned. It was a great experience being able to write more complex texts and string together coherent thoughts. A lot of great and really useful feedback about word choice. We then looked at some new grammar points. This was a very effective session for me. Sam is so helpful and really understands where I am at. Another great lesson - thanks, Sam!

Today we revised some answers from the text and started some new readings from the text. Sam helped clarify some important meanings and revised some grammar, which was really helpful. Lots of chances to speak and practise pronunciation too. Another great lesson - thanks, Sam!
