In trial lessons, my aim is to understand your language learning goals. Is there any special reason you want to take classes or do you want to improve in general? I will also carry out a short level check. Of course, you can also ask any questions about the course.

ALTERNATIVELY

If you want to practice anything special in this 30m class—TELL ME BEFORE THE CLASS—then we can begin practicing immediately. For example, you may want to practice for an upcoming interview, talk, or something else.

These classes focus on developing your spoken fluency, improving your pronunciation, and deepening your vocabulary. My aim is to help you move from intermediate or upper-intermediate level to becoming an advanced speaker of English.

You'll practice actively using new vocabulary in topic-related classes.

You'll also practice English pronunciation, whether individual words, sentence level pronunciation (rhythm, weak forms, and other aspects of connected speech), and intonation. Many students report that after several months, not only does their pronunciation improve but also their listening ability.

Some students need help to develop more complex sentences and in using less common structures, such as mixed conditionals, the past perfect, and indirect word order. Where necessary, I can help with these, though, for the most part, my classes are conversational.

Advance Your English (B2 to C2)

This course helps you prepare for job interviews in English. You’ll learn how to stand out in an interview and how to handle the most common questions, as well as asking questions. We’ll also cover storytelling in interviews to illustrate your experience and successes.

The course is very practical, involving discussion and role-playing.

Interview Skills

This class is suitable for beginners, elementary and low intermediate students. You will learn to understand and speak English. You will also learn how to read and write in English. We will practice English pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. 

You do not need to speak any English to join this class.

这门课程适合初学者、基础和中低级学生。你将学习如何理解和说英语。你也将学习如何用英语读写。我们会练习英语的发音、语法和词汇。

你不需要会说任何英语就可以参加这门课程。

Esta clase es adecuada para principiantes, estudiantes de nivel básico y de nivel intermedio bajo. Aprenderás a comprender y hablar inglés. También aprenderás a leer y escribir en inglés. Practicaremos la pronunciación, gramática y vocabulario en inglés.

No necesitas hablar inglés para unirte a esta clase.

Speak English!

Are you a beginner and don’t know where to start? Is grammar intimidating to you? I’ve been there! This course will fit students of all levels. Start improving your Russian from day 1!

About myself:
I am both a language teacher and a language learner. I’ve been doing well in both areas. As for my teacher credentials, I had years of language exchange experience which taught me that Russian and Russian for foreigners are two completely different fields. So I chose to become a professional teacher and studied at the Moscow State University Russian Language Center. I was taught by arguably the best teachers in the country who shared their valuable experience with us. Thus I can easily guide you through the TORFL standards and will save you from many mistakes beginners make by using low quality/simplified materials that don’t meet TORFL standards.
I have extensive teaching experience.
I am a successful language learner myself who attained the C2 level in English,  and who perfectly understands the student's needs.

About the course:
I am flexible and I will adapt my lessons to your needs. I use Google documents for clear and convenient grammar explanation.

There can be 2 strategies in terms of frequency of lessons. We can have intensive everyday lessons, or we can have lessons once a week or so and I can play the role of a guide for you. 

There can also be 2 styles of structuring our course. We can improvise and I can teach you different areas of the language that I see need improvement as we go, OR we can use a textbook and follow it, if you like structured courses more.

The course follows the grammar and vocabulary requirements according to the TORFL (ТРКИ) levels.

Здравствуйте, друзья! Вы давно мечтаете выучить английский, но почему-то не удаётся достичь результата? Вы "застряли" на начальном уровне? Буду рад Вам помочь! 
Я достиг уровня С2 в английском языке, поэтому на своём опыте знаю, что Вас ждёт на пути к заветной "fluency"! 
Я постоянно помогаю своим студентам как английского, так и русского как иностранного прогрессировать, открывать что-то новое и достигать новых высот в изучении языков. 
Среди моих студентов уже было несколько настоящих полиглотов, которые достигли уровня С2 в 3 и более языках, и я стараюсь делиться со своими студентами их подходами к методике изучения языков, а также подходами других полиглотов, таких как Alexander Argüelles, Stephen Krashen, Lydia Machova, Steve Kaufmann, Kató Lomb, Luca Lampariello. 
Слишком часто студенты фокусируется только на изучении правил. Важно правильно подобрать баланс грамматики, чтения, говорения и т.д. Я помогу Вам организовать Вашу учёбу так, чтобы изучение языка было одновременно интересным и эффективным. 
На своих занятиях я использую Google документы, а также аутентичные материалы, ведь чем раньше Вы начнёте соприкасаться с настоящим живым языком, тем раньше Вы начнёте его реально использовать. До встречи на занятиях!

You are welcome to book a 30 minute trial lesson with me. In this lesson you will get to know my teaching style. More importantly, I will find out more about your learning needs and interests which will allow me to design a unique learning pathway for you.

These lessons are designed to help you prepare for the IELTS or Cambridge tests. We will focus on the four skills required for the test. In addition, vocabulary will be developed and grammar topics will be looked at in context.

Exam Preparation IELTS/Cambridge

These classes are for free conversation. Each lesson can cover any topics you are interested in. There are no materials so the whole time will be spent in conversation.

Free Conversation

These lessons are for anyone wishing to improve their all round English skill. Lessons will be designed just for you so can focus on any topics or skills you choose.

General English

These lessons are to support students with school or university work. I can also support you with applications to UK schools and universities.

Academic English School and University Support

A course for advanced learners! Develop your analytical language skills through reading and discussing poetry. I will provide poems and excerpts from poets of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. During the lessons we will read and discuss how the language constructs meaning. Develop knowledge of diction, prosody and form, and enjoy a wide range of poetry written in English.

Poetry in English

I prepared students for Cambridge Suite examinations, supported academic progress across curriculum subjects and helped with applications to university, including personal statement writing and IELTS preparation. I worked with students from across the world from including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mexico, Chile, Thailand, Japan, France, Spain, Poland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Turkey.

I taught English one to one and in small groups to prepare students for Cambridge examinations including IELTS.

I taught General English courses to adults and teenaged learners from beginner to Advanced, including short exam preparation courses.

I supported international students with all aspects of university level writing across a diverse range of subjects from Ceramics to Neuroscience. I also led small group workshops on conventions of undergraduate university writing.

I taught General English one to one and in small groups to students from the age of 3 to 70.

I was required to research and write about specific assessment systems for English language learners, these included Cambridge suite examinations and IELTS. I have also taught these examinations across institutions for 10 years.

An extension module to the Cambridge CELTA offered by the training institution. We studied methodology and materials suitable for the teaching of English to Young Learners. In addition, I worked for 8 years in British Independent schools teaching students from the age of 9 - 18.

I teach online and face to face English lessons one to one. My students range from school aged to adults. Some students work towards recognised examinations, while others enjoy exploring literature, history, philosophy or politics through discussion, reading, listening and writing. The variety of one to one teaching is rewarding and enjoyable.

I established a volunteer refugee teaching programme. I recruited qualified English language teachers following safer recruitment practices. I assessed the needs of tutees and matched them to tutors. I also undertook tutoring myself. The programme ran for 18 months until it was no longer needed.

The trial lesson is 25 minutes. 

I invite you to book a trial lesson for all of my courses. I will demonstrate how I teach and how you can learn a lot in a seesion.  I speak accent-free and nearly perfect American English, which is super helpful for beginners if you speak English and don't speak much Mandarin.

I offer 55 and 25-minute lessons.

If you are fascinated by Mandarin but have no or very little experience with the language, this series is for you. In this series, we will focus on the fundamentals while exploring the effect that Chinese culture has on the language.  

I teach the way that how human beings naturally acquire a language. While I make the lessons practical and tailored to your interest, learning this way warrants the most conversation competency and accurate pronunciation. 

I use a methodology that has been successfully applied to adults and children. Speaking briefly about this methodology - it includes a series of linguistic and body-centered learning techniques. I would patiently and skillfully guide you towards the feeling sense of the language and to use your visual and audio sensibilities to acquire the language. Grammar, analytical ability, and memorization are the secondary application.  I never cease to amaze how well my students thrive on this learning method. I would be happy to explain my teaching techniques and principles further in our first lesson/trial lesson. 

At the beginning of learning a language, it is critical to instill the foundation correctly. That means adopting a holistic approach to learn a language. In addition, Mandarin specifically, not only to pronounce correctly is important but also to learn from a skilled teacher who speaks with a neutral accent and a broadcast-quality of speaking voice is most favorable. 

For the course curriculum, you will learn--
1. The subjects of your interest.
2. Intonations
3. Simple greetings, expression of gratitude and regret.
4. Basic expressions and commands that are useful for traveling in Mandarin-speaking countries.
5. Personal introduction
6. Expressing emotions and preferences

Mandarin--Individual Level (Intermediate B1 and above) (55 minutes)

I offer 55-minute lessons.

This multi-level English language conversation-based lesson will expand your ability in listening and speaking skills, increase the volume of the vocabulary and improve grammar. 

The instructor will assess the student's language competency, address the student's concern for the focus of the study and tailor the course material to each student. If you have a favorite textbook or material that you would like to learn from, I would be open to using it as the lesson material.

About the teacher: I have 15+ years of academic teaching experience in the U.S. and China and held professorships in three U.S. federal accredited universities from 1999 to 2014.

English Speaking & Listening Skills l Conversation l Fluency l Pronunciation I Grammar (55 mins.)

Teaching Example- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRj1ss5miEU

I specifically design this 成語 Chéngyǔ course for individuals who want to speak like a native, such as the ability to exchange banters and express humor, deliver comments and criticism in Chinese sensibility and understand the popular media. 

If your Mandarin fits the following, you are ready for the course!!
1. A seasoned Advanced Mandarin (C1) speaker or higher
2. Knows about 1200 Chinese characters or more
3. Is capable of communicating your everyday needs, thoughts and desires in Mandarin
4. Is capable of grasping the main ideas when in communication with the natives

Chéngyǔ is a type of traditional Chinese idiomatic expression, most of which consists of four characters but not always. Sometimes they are referred to as four-character Idioms. They were widely used in Classical Chinese and play an important role in Chinese conversations and education. 

Using Chéngyǔ is a highly efficient way to communicate ideas. In the meantime, it incites rich imageries and literary fun. That is the genius of Chéngyǔ. They are windows to the world of the collective wisdom of Chinese culture. Some of them derive from historical references. Some of them contain moral concepts or cultural perspectives. Using Chéngyǔ in speech or writing is elegant yet colloquial.

Learning Chéngyǔ will increase the volume of your vocabulary and expand your cultural expressiveness to a whole new level. Consequently, your reading and listening abilities will also be vastly improved.

Learning Chéngyǔ is an enjoyable and holistic way to learn the language for both children and adults. I tell the story of each Chéngyǔ and use visual aids to illustrate the function of the Chéngyǔ in context to help you understand and easily retain what you learn. This is beyond textbook learning.  The in-class activities include listening and speaking exercises. The homework consists of writing and/or speech assignments utilizing the Chéngyǔ.

ADVANCED LEVEL MANDARIN (C1-C2): SPEAKING LIKE A NATIVE!! Introduction to 成語 Chéngyǔ, the Four-character Chinese Idioms (55 mins)

ENGLISH--INDIVIDUAL LEVEL (55 mins)

I offer 55-minute lessons.

The course emphasizes enriching student’s conversation capability and correct pronunciation. The conversation topics and vocabulary building are tailored to each individual student's interests and what flows naturally in the classroom. 

Depending on your level of Mandarin and upon request, I could incorporate the writing curriculum to the lessons. 

I teach the way that how human beings naturally acquire a language. I use a methodology that has been successfully applied to adults and children. Speaking briefly about this methodology - it includes a series of linguistic and body-centered learning techniques. I would patiently and skillfully guide you towards the feeling sense of the language and to use your visual and audio sensibilities to acquire the language. Grammar, analytical ability, and memorization are the secondary application.  I never cease to amaze how well my students thrive on this learning method. I would be happy to explain my teaching techniques and principles further in our first lesson/trial lesson.  

My methodology is designed for effective learning so you will retain the information well. In the lesson, I explain the aspect of cultural and social practice regarding the course material—it is fun and making course material more memorable.

Practical Mandarin for Beginners (A1-A2) 初级实用中文 (55-min lesson)

Updated: 1/26/2025

I split my time between the U.S. and Taiwan.  
I have recently visited Vietnam, which made it the 29th country I have visited on Earth.  

When searching for a teacher, you want to find one with a low student turnover rate (high student retention rate). A low turnover rate is a tell-tale sign of high student satisfaction and a teacher's strong commitment to his/her students. My student turnover rate is very low. (You can tell the turnover rate by looking at a teacher's total lesson taught number against how many students they have taught on their iTalki page). 

Hence, my teaching practice is quite full. I have some flexibility outside of my iTalki calendar.  If you want to work with me, send a message with the trial lesson request that includes your availability and information about your prior learning experience, goals, and motivation for learning the language, let's see if we are a good match. 

In the meanwhile, you can find teaching samples and videos @teacherweiwei on Instagram & @mandarinweiwei on Facebook
