Personal Description: My name is Meishan. I am a native of Mainland China. I hold a MBA (Master of Business Administration) in Marketing Degree awarded by the University of Stirling in August 2005. I am a native Mandarin and Cantonese speaker. I am proficient in all aspects of the English language. I am married to a UK national and am settled in UK on a permanent basis.

I am based in Halifax West Yorkshire. I offer high class professional Chinese tuition to individuals and to organizations.

Tuition in Mandarin and Cantonese, whether for holidays, business, vocational or education, whatever your reason for studying the language, lessons will be tailored to your needs.

Tutoring Experience: I have been resident in UK since September 2004, apart from a 12 months break which I spent in my native China working for the Friends’ Institute located in Guangdong province, teaching English to Chinese students and Chinese to foreign nationals resident in China. My students there encompassed a broad spectrum in terms of both age and linguistic ability.

Currently, I provide Chinese language services on a self-employed basis. I have taught Mandarin and Cantonese to a wide variety of students ranging from beginners to those with advanced knowledge of the language including a number who were studying for GCSE or A-Level examinations.

My students come from all walks of life, numbered amongst them is a company managing director, a university lecturer, a pharmacist, several teachers of English intending to give tuition in China, and a devotee of Kung Fu. All my students have different reasons for studying and all thus far have gained a proficiency sufficient to satisfy their needs.

In addition, I have a number of juvenile students ranging in age from 5 to 15, all of whom are making excellent progress, and all of whom are a pleasure to teach.

Tutoring Approach: My approach in teaching is to combine the four elements of language together - speaking, reading, listening and writing, thus improving my students' grasp of grammar whilst at the same time emphasizing the practical everyday use of the language.

I consider that encouragement, patience and flexibility are of the highest importance in teaching.

I employ an interactive method of teaching which makes learning Chinese easy and enjoyable. I am confident that you will find yourself beginning to speak Mandarin / Cantonese as soon as you start studying the language with me.

High teaching quality guaranteed.

Fees start at 25 pounds per hour for students attending lessons at my home, or at a place of their choosing so long as this is within a five mile radius of Halifax, with an additional 5 pounds per hour charged for any additional student in a session. The same fee applies for tuition online or over the phone. For students wishing me to travel beyond the five mile radius, the fee is negotiable.
