Me as a Teacher

I use different methods for different students. Each person deserves a personalized designed lesson, which targets each learner's own needs. I care about students' motivations and learning goals. In my classes, I use slides, text documents, pictures and short videos to make the lesson diversified and practical. If you are aiming at passing the HSK exam, I'm also quite good at tutoring examinees. I'm also running a Youtube channal, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmnBtNoFVoA&t=131s

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons are always relaxing and simple. I'm good at answering questions in a simple and accurate way. At the same time, I'd like to combine Chinese culture together with the Chinese language, because I believe only when you understand the logic of Chinese people and the culture that you can truly master the language.

I work as a Chinese language teacher, also as a Chinese culture promoter. During teaching, I found out the essence of teaching is about always learning something new and review the old content now and then. Since I've got some kids and old ladies in my class, I become more and more patient. I started to focus on students' feeling and improvement other than the teaching progress.

It was super good. I haven't studied Chinese for a while so my Chinese was quite rusty, but she helped to refresh and improve my knowledge :)
