I've been tutor and teaching for more than a decade, from little toddler to adult , from 1-to-1 class to more than 10 students group class. Teaching for me is not just ask student to learn and remember what I told them, it's also a better way to help students to grow confident about what they wanna learn, get stronger at the basic, and eventually have their own ability to get new knowledge. I have three certifications to teach Mandarin Chinese as a second language; two from the USA (TESOL and TCYL) and one from the UK (Diploma in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages Level 3). I'm a patient and outgoing person, i like to being creative in teaching but also can a strict at the same time. I'm sure you will find out learning Mandarin is not difficult as you think. You can choose between project-based learning, structured lessons, or customized sessions based on your needs. If you are a beginner, I will start with pinyin and vocabulary, then move to basic conversations. I will explain the lessons using English, then begin transitioning to Mandarin as your abilities improve. I will prepare the customize material just for you, also can provide some practice so you can learn Mandarin little by little everyday. If you have any question, don't be afraid to ask, I'd love to answer and help you.
