I've been tutoring and teaching Mandarin Chinese for 20 years. Some students come to me with materials from what they're learning in school and other students come to me just wanting to start from scratch. I cater to what the student needs. If you need a set curriculum, I have it. I've taught all levels of Mandarin Chinese. Examples of topics in my curriculum: Mandarin Alphabet - Learn the letters, practice with vocabulary for each letter Colors in Mandarin - learn the colors with images and say the colors of different nouns Food in Mandarin - names of food and talking about what you like to eat and drink I incorporate a mix of speaking, reading, listening and writing so students can practice using the language in a variety of ways. This helps increase overall fluency and literacy. As soon as students learn enough vocabulary and verbs I start teaching sentences and encourage conversation. Depending on the student's age I'll use games and props to engage students. This class is a subscription that you can cancel at anytime. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Students receive a PDF of the materials I use and a class recording is automatically posted within 24 hours of the lesson so they can watch the lesson again. Re-watching the lesson typically helps with pronunciation and vocabulary or grammar practice. Example Schedule: Week 1 - Mandarin alphabet Week 2 - Review the alphabet, learn numbers 0-10 and days of the week Week 3 - Mandarin greetings and introductions, day 1 Week 4 - Mandarin greetings and introductions, day 2 Sample Lesson Outline - Brief introductions "Hello, how are you?" - We take notes on the first 5 vocabulary words. I recommend using a T-chart so students can quiz themselves later. One side of the T chart is in Mandarin (pinyin), the other side is in English. - Practice pronunciation of the 5 vocabulary words - Do three activities to review the 5 vocabulary words. - Repeat this cycle with 5 other vocabulary words - Speaking practice to review and say goodbye Students who enjoy my classes really like structure and the challenge of practicing speaking between notes. If your student comes to me with specific needs, we don't have to do the structure listed above. I cater my tutoring to the student's needs.
