About Me:

I am a highly experienced Mandarin language teacher, and have taught Chinese from absolute beginner classes right up to more advanced level students. I am a full time mandarin teacher who currently is working at the University of Edinburgh. I have also taught mandarin at universities including London School of Economics and University of East London, as well as A level and GCSE Mandarin at Queen Elizabeth Boys school (UK`s Number One public school).  

My Experience & Teaching Levels: 

I am a qualified language teacher who has considerable experience of teaching H.E Chinese across different levels and age groups. I have more 15 years varied teaching experience, supported by four years pedagogical training at university. I have taught private students from absolute beginners right up to advanced level students. I have considerable experience in tutoring students for many major Mandarin exams: HSK, A Level, GCSE. All of my students have achieved excellent scores (90% above)! As a university teacher, I am very experienced in universities mandarin degree exams, my existing students achieve distinction every year.

My Teaching Methods: 

I use a range of pedagogical materials and methods to help make learning fast, effective and fun! During my lessons, you are not only learning language, but also experiencing the Chinese culture. I give my beginner students a very good foundation of learning Chinese Pinyin (great pronunciation) and using my own strategy to teach Chinese characters. I can explain tricky grammar points and other aspects of language for my advanced level students, as well as provide suitable activities to consolidate and practice this language. I have a particular interest in Online Learning/teaching and the pedagogical applications of technology, such as using Quizlet for students to learn vocabulary; creating quizzes via Socrative for students to practise reading skills; and using and designing quizzes via Goggle Form to help students review grammar points as well as listening skills.
