About Me
italki teacher since Jul 7, 2021Interest topicSports & FitnessEnvironment & NatureMusicPets & AnimalsTravel
Hello, I am Derian Chen, my Chinese name is 陈智福 (Chén Zhìfú), and I am 华人 (Huá Rén), which means Chinese ethnicity or descent, regardless of nationality. I was born in Indonesia and raised in a Chinese overseas community. My ancestors came from Fujian province, China.
I have over 5 years of teaching experience, having started my career in high school. I hold both a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree, with my Master’s focused on teaching Chinese to foreigners. I am fluent in English, so during the class, when I am explaining grammar and new words, there won’t be a language barrier.Me as a Teacher
as a teacher, I use different techniques and teaching methods. I don't use only one book and or one internet resource, I use different books to give a comprehensive understanding of Chinese language Speaking, listening, reading and writing are essential while learning Chinese. My responsibility is to introduce the characters in visual form, let the student understand from which strokes every character consists, develop listing and writing skills, practicing tones until they start to come naturally. together we will learn Chinese from the very basic structures to advanced. So you will be able to understand and express yourself in Chinese.My lessons & teaching style
I tailor my lessons to fit each student’s needs, adjusting my teaching style based on their age and goals. I help students with HSK exam preparations, Chinese business communication, daily conversations, travel to China, university preparations, and homework assistance. Whether you’re looking to improve your speaking skills, get ready for a trip, or need support with your studies, I aim to make the learning process engaging and effective for you.My teaching material
