About Me

I have been teaching English in Shanghai Lansheng Fudan Middle School, which is an elite private school (ranked No. 2 in 2016) in Shanghai, since 2014. During my teaching career, I have been seeking improvements and innovations in English language teaching in the school and collaborating with other more experienced teachers and scholars in Shanghai. In 2016, with my district teaching supervisor Victor Lu, I published my first workbook on English reading comprehension for middle school students in Shanghai. I also held multiple public lessons on the district level. My students' improvement of the language study has always been my first goal to achieve in my work and I would like to grasp more opportunities to improve my own knowledge on linguistics study and teaching methodology.
I am currently doing my master's degree on Linguistics in University of Amsterdam.

I hope to help you improve your Chinese through Apprentus platform and better understand Chinese culture.:) ================================================ 💯My lessons & teaching style 🏅(1)Learn Mandarin Systematically(Use textbook) This course is for students who want to learn Mandarin systematically. In view of the basic and important role of Pinyin in Mandarin, the general knowledge of Pinyin will be taught in the first period, including the pronunciation of initials, finals, different tones, and the most common rules(If you have already know Pinyin, we could jump to the next step). Then you move to the next period, and the HSK textbooks 1 to 3 are recommended as the learning material. You will learn the most common-used words, phrases, sentence patterns, characters, and some interesting knowledge of Chinese culture. Besides, considering Chinese is a tone language, the pronunciation practice is provided throughout the whole learning process. After this period’s learning, you will master about 900 characters and over 1500 words, and your Chinese level will reach to B1, which means that you possess the basic communicative skills to live and travel in China. 🏅(2)Spoken Chinese Course(Use textbook) This course is for the people who could speak some Chinese and hope to enlarge their Chinese vocabulary or improve their speaking.

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it. I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature. Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.

Elizabeth
Practice your Mandarine/ Cantonese Speaking with a Native Speaker
What better way to learn a language than communicating with a native speaker in real-time? Duolingo can only teach you so much, but from personal experience, the most important aspect of learning a new language is to be fully immersed in its culture to understand the intricacies of that language. I am completely fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, which gives me the advantage of explaining how you can improve effectively in the language you understand.
