Chinese Language Tutors

Learning the Chinese language can be lucrative! Being a good Chinese speaker can open doors to incredible career opportunities in different parts of China. But Chinese is considered one of the notoriously difficult languages, and learning it is no easy task! Its complex writing system, intricate phonological system, and confusing syntactic rules are super-difficult to learn alone! Our tutors are great in every field of the Chinese language. Even if you’re a new learner looking forward to becoming a fluent Chinese speaker or an advanced learner willing to complete your Chinese-based thesis, our wide range of tutors can help you in all possible ways.

Hi everyone! My name is Kim and I’m a certified and award-winning Chinese tutor with over 13 years of teaching experience. Along with online tutoring, I also run my own Chinese academy located in Beijing — where my team and I are currently teaching around 600 students coming from different countries. My past experience is also embellished with years of dedicated teaching at multiple institutions, including the Peking University, Tsinghua University and many others. I’ve developed excellent tutoring skills and I can confidently say that I can tutor almost all ages of students, regardless of which nationality they belong to. Watching my students grow in front of me gives me a sense of pride. I’ve also conducted face-to-face tutoring sessions for individual students and even group-based classes. 

Tutoring Approach

When it comes to choosing my tutoring approaches, I tend to focus on the learning preferences of students rather than the traditional tutoring approaches. I look deep into what works best for the students and what does not. This enables me to design lesson plans that perfectly befit my students' needs. I explain the concepts verbally and incorporate language learning activities. My approaches not only help the students to master the surface-level language rules but also learn the core metaphoric meanings of utterances. Along with all this, I make sure to immerse cultural knowledge into the sessions.

Experience

My name is Huong and I’m an award-winning Chinese tutor with over 12 years of experience. Apart from just teaching four Chinese skills to candidates of all ages, I’ve also had experience in writing research papers with a focus on corpus linguistics — identifying the process of how different dialects emerged in the Chinese language. As a research enthusiast, I’ve supervised numerous research projects. Currently, I’m working as a part-time professor at one of the best universities in Beijing — there I’m helping the undergraduate, post-graduate, and PhD level students with their course books or research papers. My students have shown excellent progress in their studies whilst taking my sessions, hence won numerous awards too. 

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approaches focus on developing students’ critical thinking skills. I believe that having strong critical thinking skills can help students master any language skill, regardless of its complexity levels. Plus, it allows language users to create unique sentences from their limited vocabulary sets. I like to use task-based and tech-based tutoring approaches in my sessions. Both of these methods tend to focus more on active learning and are closely related to the modern’s student’s interests. The blend of these approaches keeps the students engaged throughout the sessions, helping them master the language concepts easily and quickly. Students have had to appear in the quizzes and assessments conducted on a weekly basis.

Master of Arts in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language

Experience

Greetings everyone! During 8 years of teaching experience in both online and face-to-face contexts, I’ve built strong communication, and tutoring skills that are helping me deliver highly effective lectures and design lesson plans for almost all levels of students who want to master the four Chinese skills, i.e., speaking, listening, writing, and reading. I’ve won awards from multiple institutions for serving as a dedicated teacher. Online tutoring connects me with students of diverse backgrounds who couldn’t get the maximum level of proficiency because of a lack of guidance. My goal is to help those Chinese students who deserve professional guidance, no matter in which corner of the world they’re residing. 

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approaches are always interactive. I keep on shifting from one approach to another in order to ensure that they meet each student's learning requirements and styles. I not only teach the language rules but also try to provide the students with the exposure to Chinese culture and its aesthetics. By doing so, my students tend to understand the core meanings of different sentences, phrases or idioms and their contextual meanings. Before starting the lessons, I conduct meetings with the tutee or his/her parents in order to know his learning preferences, which helps me devise highly personalized lesson plans.

Experience

I’m Linh and a certified CATTI-3 (China Accreditation Test for Translators and Interpreters) trainer who’s working in an academy for around 7 years now. I have a strong record of helping individual students and groups hone their translation and interpretational skills, i.e., from Chinese to English and vice versa. My previous CATTI-3 students have developed strong simultaneous interpreting, consecutive interpreting, and whispered interpreting skills. I’ve also delivered lectures for need-based students at different institutions and on numerous international platforms based on the idea of exploring Chinese culture and its aesthetics via learning this language. I’ve also examined the CATTI exams. My overall experience brings me to a perfect position where I can help students and professionals of all ages and backgrounds learn the Chinese language in an inclusive learning environment. 

Tutoring Approach

With a blend of task-based and communicative approaches, I try to build a teacher-centred free learning environment where student can freely express their ideas and share their learning challenges with me. The communicative approach allows me to incorporate certain activities in the sessions that would provide the students with real-life examples and native-like contexts to practice language and learn how it should be used in particular contexts. With multiple tasks, I engage my students with their learning materials which helps them focus more on the learning process. The tutoring approaches may change according to the skill, i.e., listening, speaking, writing, and reading, or the course book in focus. Like, for teaching a literature-based course, I’ll focus on embedding cultural values in the lesson plans in order to provide great exposure to the cultural and Chinese language’s metaphorical meanings.

Bachelor of Arts in Chinese-English Translation and Interpretation

Experience

Hi everyone! My name is Hien and I’m an experienced and professional Chinese English translator and Interpreter currently working at a renowned publication firm. I’m also working as a part-time tutor, helping numerous students around the globe become better Chinese speakers. I’ve worked with political figures as their personal translator and also at a pedagogical bureau for developing personalized lesson plans for national and international students. I have a network of around 500 students. My previous students have shown excellent results in their desired exams and some of them are enjoying a lucrative careers in China. I can also assist elementary, O/A and undergraduate-level students with their course books, assignments, quizzes, or thesis-based projects. My only goal is to make e-learning interesting for the students, in order to help them excel in their academic or professional lives. 

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approaches vary according to the level of the tutee. For instance, for the beginner-level students, I usually use the audio-lingual method. In the preliminary stages, students don’t have any ideas about its phonemes, morphemes, etc. Hence, I emphasize drilling and repetition of Chinese utterances in order to reinforce the language patterns and structures in the student’s minds. I provide model vocabulary words and sentences to the students which they’ve to repeat, which gradually allows them to master the Chinese language skills. My tutoring approaches shift to more student-centred approaches for mid-level or advanced-level students.

Experience

As an online Chinese tutor, I’ve met numerous students from around the globe and helped them achieve excellence in the Chinese language and culture. With 3 years of experience in online tutoring, I’ve honed my tutoring skills and even learnt advanced tutoring methodologies that would work best for this generation’s students. I’ve also had the opportunity to deal with entrepreneurs, nurses, doctors, nuclear engineers, and a plethora of other professions and helped them attain excellent proficiency in this language. I’m also great at tutoring Chinese linguistic and literature subjects, i.e., Modern Chinese Literature, Classic Chinese Literature, Chinese Poetry, Morphological construction in the Chinese language, Chinese Pragmatics, Research Methodologies in the Chinese language, etc. 

Tutoring Approach

I firmly believe that learning the Chinese language cannot happen without having  exposure to its culture because language isn’t just about learning sentences — it’s more about the representation of people’s ideologies. That being said, I incorporate cultural topics in the lesson plans and even try to conduct cultural discussions or debates to enhance the student’s cultural knowledge. This plays a major role in helping the students understand the literal and metaphorical meanings of utterances, along with the cultural nuances behind them. Ultimately, helping them develop cultural sensitivity that is important for effective communication or writing a perfect piece of Chinese Literature.
