International Chinese teachers with extensive experience in online and offline language teaching

Hello there! I'm a native Chinese tutor coming from Hangzhou, China. With a Master's degree in Communication Arts, I've dedicated myself to teaching adults the Chinese language. Chinese is not just a language for me; it's a treasure trove of culture and history that I'm deeply passionate about. I firmly believe that learning a new language opens doors to a world of opportunities. My mission is to ensure that this journey is both enjoyable and effortless for my students.
Beyond teaching, I find joy in exploring Chinese literature and practicing traditional calligraphy. I'm an avid explorer of Chinese cuisine, always eager to experiment with new recipes whenever the chance arises. Sharing my love for Chinese culture with my students and fostering their appreciation for it is a privilege I hold.

Guodong Ji

I've been immersed in the world of teaching Chinese to speakers of foreign languages since 2010, catering to diverse groups like high school students and adults. My journey took me through local language schools in various regions, including New Delhi and Bangalore in India, Siemreap in Cambodia, and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Presently, I'm serving as a teacher at an international school in Bangkok, Thailand.

Throughout my teaching voyage, I've cultivated an interactive and effective teaching style. My core belief is that language learning should be an enjoyable pursuit, and I'm steadfast in creating a nurturing and enjoyable classroom environment.
Equipped with certification to teach Chinese to speakers of foreign languages, I've undergone extensive training in contemporary teaching methodologies. My profound comprehension of the Chinese language and culture infuses vitality into my teaching, making the language come alive for my students.
My teaching methodology finds its roots in the communicative approach, where real-life scenarios and practical language skills development take center stage. Additionally, I integrate elements of task-based language teaching, enabling students to apply the language within contextual settings.

Hello, my name is Leila. I come from China and teach Mandarin. I have a Mandarin level certificate and a Chinese teacher qualification certificate. At the same time, I am still an art teacher. If you want to learn Chinese and be interested in painting, then I believe that we can discuss more interesting topics~

I have taught children aged six or seven, and also taught adults. My classroom atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, and I just want to study with your friends. I will pay more attention to pronunciation in my course, because accurate pronunciation is the key to language expression. I believe that every student has their own learning style and characteristics, so I will formulate the most suitable learning content for you according to your characteristics, and I look forward to sharing the beauty of Chinese with you.
