Information About James - North Shore tutor

Personal Description:

Hello! My name is James. I moved from Australia around half a year ago. I am a non-native Chinese speaker with exceptional pronunciation, a deep understanding of the language, and strong cultural knowledge. I frequently travel to China to enhance my speaking and understanding of the country and its people.

I completed Chinese Second Language VCE (Victoria Certificate of Education) with an excellent result competing against students with Chinese background.

I was a 2024 University-level Chinese Bridge Winner for my Mandarin speaking and performance abilities. I flew last year to China, representing Australia in the International Chinese Bridge competition.

I can also help you with singing Chinese songs (I am a singer)

Tutoring Experience:

I have experience tutoring beginner and intermediate level students in Australia. I focus on pronunciation, comprehension, and cultural context, ensuring you not only speak fluently but also understand the nuances of Chinese.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach is quite the opposite to regular teachers, who teach you by the book, slowing down your learning capability. Through my experience as a tutor, I have noticed many students lack language exposure despite regular studying. I will share my hacks to unlock your pronunciation and help you to freely express using Chinese.
