Master Conversational Chinese in No Time with a Native

As a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and a polyglot myself, I am skilled in keeping the interest of my students and helping them speak foreign languages naturally in the shortest amount of time. Learning languages should be fun, and not dull and textbook-based! I advocate the teaching style of simulating practical day-to-day situations.

I can teach you speaking and listening and/or reading and writing based on your needs. I teach both pinyin and zhuyin, and both traditional and simplified characters. I have a very friendly and extroverted personality, so you don't have to worry about being bored or wasting your money. Pick me and you will not be disappointed!
