Xiyue

I am an enthusiastic Mandarin tutor with a Masters in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages. I have 2 years of teaching experience at a London based Primary School, having taught Nursery to Year 6. I am a Native Chinese speaker and am qualified to teach HSK 1-6.

I am able to teach from textbooks (YCT 1 & 2) and (HSK 1-3) but am just as comfortable with off book methods and conversations - it's up to you! As part of my Masters I also spent 1 year teaching Mandarin to University students and adults. I speak Mandarin with a received pronunciation and will help to correct your pronunciation and grammar mistakes.

I can also offer lessons in Chinese History, Geography, Culture and Music. I believe the best way to learn a language is not only via textbooks, but by also immersing yourself in the culture and practicing with native speakers on a regular basis.

Tutoring Approach

I like to teach using the communicative approach. In my opinion this is the most efficient way to learn a language.
