Intermediate Level
Hello to all the advanced-level Mandarin Chinese learners! Reading is a great way to learn a new language, I believe your school teacher also requests you to read for at least 20-30 minutes every day. How about let's read together and make our reading time more fun? In my reading club, all the students will take turns reading out loud some interesting books every week. Each week, we will focus on different topics. I will correct your accents, explain the meaning of the new words, and we will do comprehension together. We will try to read stories WITHOUT pinyin, and learn 2-5 new characters each week. After finish learning the story, there are some fun and engaging games waiting for you🎮 Will it be too hard for you? The books will be selected by ACTFL proficiency as novice high to intermediate low. It will be perfect for advanced learners that are working on YCT 3-4 LEVEL or HSK 2-3 Level. If you go to a Chinese immersion school, that is normally equal to Grade 4-6.

We will read both fiction and non-fiction. We will read books about family, animals, foods, school days, holidays, STEAM, and I will be so happy if you recommend we read a specific book in our reading club.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, This is Miss Xiang. My students like to call me Miss Feifei or 菲菲老师 Feifei Laoshi.
I was born in China, and Chinese Mandarin is my mother language. I lived in Beijing for my college and worked for more than 10 years before moving to the USA. Now I am an Oregon State-certified preschool teacher. I also run my own K-5 grade Mandarin afterschool program.
I hold a Bachelor of Music Production and enjoy bringing music into my classroom. During my outschool "Sing along Mandarin cycle time," I will strum my Ukulele, play my keyboard, press my desk bells set, and sing Chinese songs with my students. I will guide my students to find the rhythm and tone of Mandarin through the music's rhythm.
I am also fostering rats for our local small animal rescues. So in my "come talk and play with rat" lesson, I will introduce fancy rats(pet rats) to our students, we will learn Mandarin through this incredible creature, and I will show live rats (sometimes even newborn rats) to my students.
I have 3 boys. They are 3,6,8 years old now. I know how important to provide engaging learning environments for young learners. My tutoring style is high-energy, fun, casual, patient, and peer-like.
Besides my work, I like hiking with my family and friends. I like to go camping and sleep in my 1950s airstream.
I'd like to share many songs, stories, and ideas with my students, So please follow me on outschool. And I hope to see the kids in my lessons soon!
Love,
Miss Feifei
