Hi there! I'm a Mandarin tutor from Shanghai, born and raised in China. I’ve had a deep love for Chinese traditional culture and classical poetry since childhood, and have been immersed in the beauty of the Chinese language for over 20 years. I'm passionate about literature and was awarded First Prize in the national “Ye Shengtao Cup” Writing Competition in 2019. I also served as a Chinese class representative for six years in middle and high school. I've never stopped studying Chinese literature and consistently read over 30 books a year. I hold a Level 2-A certificate in Mandarin proficiency, ranking above 80% of test takers. In addition, I’ve studied Chinese calligraphy for over 6 years and can write beautifully in both pen and brush script, with strong command of language and writing skills.

Teaching Experience:

我拥有多年对外汉语教学经验，曾在上海担任语文老师3年，为10多位来自国际小学和中学的学生提供一对一中文辅导。我的学生来自多个国家，如巴基斯坦、葡萄牙、泰国、韩国等，年龄跨度广等。教学内容涵盖作业讲解、听说读写训练、汉字书写和中国文化延伸课程。我注重因材施教，擅长为不同年龄和学习目标的学生制定个性化教学计划，确保他们在轻松愉快的氛围中提升中文水平。此外，我还帮助中文母语学生备考国内语文竞赛和写作比赛，其中一位学生连续三次在比赛中获得前十名的佳绩。

I have three-year experience teaching Mandarin in Shanghai. I've provided one-on-one tutoring for over 10 international primary and middle school students. My students come from a wide range of countries, including Pakistan, Portugal, Thailand, and South Korea, and vary in age from young children to teenagers. My lessons cover Chinese homework help, listening and speaking practice, reading comprehension, writing, and cultural enrichment. I always tailor my teaching plans to meet each student’s goals and learning style, ensuring they can improve their Mandarin skills in a fun and supportive environment. I’ve also helped native Chinese-speaking students prepare for writing competitions. One of them placed in the top ten for three times in a row.

Teaching Approach:

我注重因材施教，采用多样化的教学方法，帮助不同背景和需求的学生高效学习中文。我可以教授拼音、识字、口语、阅读和写作。对于低龄儿童，我常通过趣味文字游戏激发兴趣；对于成人学生，则结合传统文化、文学作品与实用场景，帮助他们建立中文思维。每位学生都是独特的个体，我会根据其学习风格和目标，设计个性化课程方案，提升学习学生对中文的理解力。课堂上，我会带领学生复习旧知识、系统梳理新知识，帮助他们构建清晰的知识框架。我擅长用生动的讲解和丰富的练习方式，包括角色扮演、文化主题写作、写字训练等，帮助大家写出结构清晰、逻辑连贯流畅的中文作品。课程结束时，我会通过简单测评和互动环节，帮助学生巩固本节课的重要知识点。我使用的教材和PPT以HSK为主，也会使用《国际汉语教师教学手册》和HSK教师用书。

I focus on flexible, personalised teaching methods to help students of all backgrounds learn Chinese effectively. I teach pinyin, character recognition, speaking, reading, and writing. For young learners, I use fun games and interactive activities to keep them engaged. For adult learners, I incorporate traditional culture, literature, and real-life scenarios to help build clear Chinese thinking patterns. Each student is unique, so I design individualised lesson plans that suit their pace and goals. In class, I review previous content, break down new material step by step, and help students build a clear framework of knowledge. My teaching also includes writing drills, themed cultural essays, and regular feedback to help students write clear, logical Chinese. At the end of each lesson, I use quick review tasks and interactive quizzes to reinforce key learning points. I mainly use HSK materials and tailor-made PPTs, along with resources like the *International Curriculum for Chinese Language Teaching* and official HSK teaching guides.
