Teaching Approach:

In general, traditional Chinese learners will first practice listening and speaking, for example, learn Chinese pinyin, memorize and accumulate some common phrases and expressions in daily life; Then, they will systematically learn Chinese characters, words, grammar and sentence structure to lay a solid foundation for reading and writing Chinese.
In my class, whether you are a traditional Chinese language learner who wants to take the YCT or HSK test, want to improve your Chinese listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, want to meet business needs or want to learn about Chinese history and culture, you will have a lot to gain. No matter what age you are or what your foundation is, I can tailor the course for you and adjust the learning plan at any time according to your class experience and learning situation.
The teaching process is gradual and pays attention to the flexibility, logic and practice of knowledge; Most of the teaching will be in Chinese, for beginners or difficult knowledge points will be explained in English. Please don't worry about what you can't understand. My patience is very good. If students have questions, you can ask me at any time until you can fully understand. I appreciate proactive students, and I would love to learn about the culture of my students' hometown, and I would be glad if you would share that with me.
Here, students can fully participate in the class, flexibly practice knowledge, and freely choose the direction of learning. Trust me, this will be your best choice, and I can't wait for you to join us!
