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.

My Experience

I was awarded a Higher Education Teaching Certificate in China in 2007, and started teaching Mandarin to speakers of other languages in 2008 after completing my postgraduate study in Education in the UK. Currently I work within Higher Education in Central London, and in a local Chinese School teaching Mandarin to students aged 5 to 18 years old. I also teach privately on a one-to-one basis.
Also, I had previously co-founded a Chinese School in Cyprus teaching Mandarin to students of all levels, from beginning to intermediate, and of all ages from 10 to even pensioners.

My Qualifications

Higher Education Teaching Certificate from China, BA in Education (China) and MEd in Education (UK).
