About Me

Hello everyone, I am a qualified Chinese teacher from China, fluent in English with over 15 years experience teaching Mandarin and currently working within Higher Education in Central London. I offer simple and interesting Mandarin sessions for all levels, beginner to advanced, one to one or in groups. Being a mother myself gives me the advantage of being kind and patient towards children's education and always deliver the lesson with a lot of love and understanding.
I offer simple and interesting Mandarin sessions for all levels, beginner to advanced, one-to-one or in groups. Currently I am using YCT - Youth Chinese Test standard course book for School teaching but I also design my own course materials and lesson plans for each individual lesson. It's a lengthy process as it can last between 2 to 3 hours depending on the need however I am committed to being the best for my students and meeting their needs effectively.
I appreciate that taking up Mandarin as an additional language may sound very challenging, especially for beginners, however, I make sure each of my lessons is very well prepared and structured, fun packed with all kinds of learning activities and easy-to-access resources. Through teaching, I love to see how students grow their knowledge and most importantly learn with interest and fun. It’s an asset I can pass on to them and bring a difference to their life. After each lesson, I give tailored feedback and homework for students to practise and further strengthen their language skills at home. For assessment, I use in-class reading, listening, writing or speaking tests and end-of-term tests. All my students have received very good grades so far.
