Personal Description:

I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker and have been a Mandarin tutor for over 20 years. I provide Mandarin lessons from the beginning level to A level/university/literacy levels.

I am a teacher of a Sunday Chinese school and also a teacher of a Language Center. I often tutor people to pass Chinese HSK, GCSE and A Level examinations.

I am a trained tutor and qualified examiner of GCSE Chinese Speaking test. Being a mother, a professional in education, and living in the UK for many years, I understand British young people and wish to help them develop skills to build a career in areas relating to China and the Chinese society.

My teaching is not only about language itself but also about introduction of the different culture and knowledge of China so that to help the learners to improve their understanding of Chinese.

Teaching Experience:

Very familiar with HSK, GCSE and A Level examination criteria.

Many years' experience of teaching different learners who are aged from 4 to 55 years old with different background who may be very young children, school students, professional office workers, bankers or business men.

Have been very passionate at teaching the young children for many years. As a patient tutor, I pay a lot of attention to children's reaction, adjust my teaching accordingly, and give praise for their good performance appropriately. I apply different teaching methods from time to time which help to keep the children being curious at the learning. The teaching is dynamic, interactive, practical and full of fun.

For young learners, I always try to understand their career aspiration and motivation of studying Chinese first, then decide the teaching and learning strategy and learning outcomes. Based on that, I recommend appropria**Contact Detail Removed**arning materials and describe teaching and learning details to them. The teaching and learning is then adjusted to suit the learner's progress during the teaching and learning sessions.

The teaching for mature learners are goal oriented and problem solving. I have extensive knowledge in education, cultural exchange, business, and science & engineering, which enable me to teach in many different fields.

Teaching Approach:

My tutoring is flexible, teaching time and venue can be negotiated. I design different teaching styles to suit different learner's needs. It could be intensified sessions for busy people who want to improve their Chinese quickly. Or interesting sessions to promo**Contact Detail Removed**arner's learning interest for sustained study. All teaching cover pronunciation ,conversations, reading, writing and grammar.
