About Me

I’m Dawn from China. With over 10 years of teaching experience, dual Master's degrees in China and the UK, and a gentle, encouraging teaching style, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing students from all walks of life and all age groups succeed in learning Chinese, with a 100% success rate in passing the HSK Level 5 exam.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of teaching a diverse range of students—from overseas university students in China to high school students in South Korea, and GCSE students, diplomats, company employees, and retirees in the UK. I’ve also enjoyed teaching very young children, making learning fun for even two-year-olds. Teaching has truly been a passion of mine, and I find it incredibly rewarding.

Master’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language from Nanjing University provided me with a solid foundation in Chinese language teaching while Master’s degree in Education and Professional Studies from King’s College London equipped me with more international teaching methodologies.

My students often appreciate how I naturally guide them to speak, gently correcting their mistakes while constantly encouraging them. I also design targeted questions in class to help them grasp the knowledge more effectively.

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.
