Personal Description:

I am a native Mandarin teacher with extensive teaching experience. I first came to the UK in 2005 to study and have stayed here ever since. I am responsible, well organized, friendly and extremely patient. I am full DBS checked and cleared. I can help whether you need to prepare for upcoming exams, work or just for pleasure. I am available for one- to- one and group lessons.
I am a mother of two boys who keep me very busy but happy every day. In my spare time, I love jogging and walking. I also enjoy playing the piano with my sons and going outdoors with my family.

Teaching Experience:

I have extensive experience in teaching Mandarin and English. I was a full time English teacher for eight years at a secondary school in Taiwan prior coming to England. Whilst studying my PhD degree, I started my Mandarin teaching career at the Centre for Lifelong Learning at Sunderland University. Since then, I have taught learners of various ages and levels, in groups or one-to-one tutoring. I am currently a part time Mandarin tutor at Newcastle City Council and The Language Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne. I also tutor learners in person or one.

Teaching Approach:

My lessons are easy, enjoyable, and well- structured with a mixture of activities. I want to help my students to achieve a high Mandarin language ability whilst enjoying learning the language and its culture. All lessons are tailor-made, depending on individual needs. I can provide a wide range of lessons, from general Mandarin lessons covering grammar, pronunciation, conversations, reading, listening, writing, and speaking, to specific topics or skills, such as business Chinese, Chinese for travelg or character reading and writing. I am also very confident tutoring learners who want to obtain their Mandarin language qualifications, including GCSE, A-level, and HSK. With younger learners I provide fun classes with games, songs, interesting topics and stories to keep them engaged. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
