Personal Description:

A native Chinese born in Beijing and has been living in the UK for 20 years. I have three years of teaching experience in English at a middle school in China prior to coming to UK. Working with people from different walks of life, I have good understanding of the two cultures which helps enormously in language teaching.

Teaching Approach:

Philosophy––––––––––– make the poor student good and good student superior
Inspiration–––––––––––help them set up their role model;
Good habit––––––––––– good learning habit benefit one for life time;
Valuation––––––––––– self reflection and assessment;

For kids learning, the approach is to engage both their hands and mind. Help them set up routine of learning.

For adults, combination of effective repeatation and present the words in different scenarisos to enhance their confidence.

As to adult learners, experience tells me that a solid foundation of Mandarin not only builds the confidence right start from Day1 but also speeds up their language development tremendously. These foundations include Phonetics, also called Pinyin, a tool to help Mandarin leaners pronounce a new word; The composition of Chinese characters, the logic behind those lines and curves which upon first look, they look dounting but after first lesson they will start to make sense to you. That is the major difference you will find by learning with me from others. I would also help them identify their strenghth and weakness during the learning process. Thirdly, you will gain the practical knowledge of what is happening in China, i.e. how to use mobile payment, including ordering take away with mobile payment, online ordering, booking hotel/airbnb/tickets etc; the functional difference between cities/areas.
