Katherine

As a native Chinese speaker, I am fully fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. I specialize in teaching both traditional and simplified Chinese characters, catering to learners of all levels. My lessons are available online or in-person, with flexibility to suit individual needs.

Tutoring Experience

Over 10 years of experience teaching Chinese language and culture at a Community School. Worked with students aged 5 to 16, from beginner to GCSE level. I am a GCSE exam specialist, focusing on training in Mandarin Chinese (Putonghua) and Cantonese exam techniques, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing strategies aligned with UK exam boards such as Edexcel and AQA. I'm also DBS certified, with an enhanced background check for safe tutoring. Besides, I also teach adult learners who want to learn Chinese for leisure as well as for professional use.

Tutoring Approach

I believe in interactive, student-centered learning that adapts to each learner’s goals. My lessons include:

✔ Structured PowerPoints for clear grammar/vocabulary explanations.

✔ Games & multimedia (videos, songs) to reinforce learning.

✔ Past-paper practice & mock exams for GCSE success.

✔ Customized materials for traditional/simplified Chinese preferences.

Why Choose My Lessons?
✔ Exam-focused: Proven track record in helping students achieve good GCSE grades.
✔ Engaging & fun: Lessons are designed to boost confidence in real-world Chinese.

✔Flexible & patient: Whether for school, exams, or personal interest, I tailor lessons to your pace.
