Information About Valentina - Pukekohe tutor

Personal Description:

Hi!I am passionate about helping your child to learn Chinese and be fluent in it.

Tutoring Experience:

5 years of foreign language teaching experience from ages 5-16. I was teaching English to Chinese children while I was studying in China. Over 150 hours of Mandarin tutoring to NZ students in the last few years.

Tutoring Approach:

My Mandarin teaching approach is very unique. I use materials that are specially designed for European children to learn and understand Chinese language easily. Chinese is an incredibly rich language and learning it is an opportunity to develop creativity, the mind and to understand Chinese culture. With my background I can encourage European students to be fluent in Mandarin.

My brief background:
* 9 years of studying and working in China
* Bachelor degree in Economics from Chinese University
* Awarded 2nd prize in Chinese Proficiency Competition in 2014 by Confucius Institute, The University of Auckland. My speech topic was Chinese and creativity.
