About Me
italki teacher since Dec 16, 2016Interest topicPets & AnimalsTravelHistorySports & FitnessFood
I was born and raised in Guangzhou, a stone’s throw from Hong Kong. I speak both Mandarin&Cantonese with standard accents.
I am passionate about languages, traveling, working out, dancing and food. I'm teaching full-time, I have taught 8000+ classes, meanwhile I'm living&traveling around the world.I've lived in Asia and Europe.
I've been to 30+ countries including Latvia, Iran, Turkey, Mexico, Australia and so on. I've dived, skydived, paraglided and gone for 1.5months long motorcycle trip.
I speak English well so I can explain grammatical questions clearly. I am also learning Spanish and the local languages when I stay there.Me as a Teacher

🌲Standard Mandarin & Cantonese pronunciationMy lessons & teaching style
I like to keep my lesson practical and I can communicate with students in Chinese and English fluently.
- Before our class, I spend some time to learn about your purpose, proficiency level, preferred methods, and prepare the class accordingly.
- In the class, I encourage you to 1. speak Chinese as much as possible, 2. make your own sentences while I correct your pronunciation and gramma, and 3. write them down for future review; and provide you helpful feedback and tips for improvement.
- After the class, I provide you with text, audio, or video materials and assign homework if you wish.My teaching material

Nicole is always helpful, punctual, patient, and kind. She remembers all kinds of details of our past lessons and knows which words I know (or should know!) and which words will be new.

I'm always impressed with Nicole's openness, friendliness, and ability to clearly explain the nuances of both Mandarin and Cantonese, as well as how they relate to English words when further clarification is needed. Even 90-minute classes always fly by very quickly with Nicole!
