Class Experience

All of our tutors are native Chinese speakers.

Some students come to us with materials from what they're learning in school and other students come to us just wanting to start from scratch. We cater to what the student needs. 

If you need a set curriculum, we have it. We've taught all levels of Mandarin Chinese.

Examples of topics in our 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

We 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 we start teaching sentences and encourage conversation. Depending on the student's age we'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 we 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 our classes really like structure and the challenge of practicing speaking between notes. 

If your student comes to us with specific needs, we don't have to do the structure listed above. We cater our tutoring to the student's needs. 

Refunds & Canceling Class
Please note, in order to receive a refund, we require 24 hours notices for canceling and rescheduling classes.

She holds a Mandarin proficiency certificate and earned her BA in English Language and Literature from a Chinese university. Currently, she is pursuing her master's degree in the United States.

She has traveled to various locations to teach; she previously taught at a preschool in Singapore and co-founded her own school with her husband in China.

Jing has taught students aged 2 to 18 years, including those with learning difficulties who were previously overlooked by other teachers. She consistently considers the needs of her students and prioritizes their feelings, as she believes that a happy child is more capable of effective learning. Following the pandemic, she returned to the United States with her family. Since that time, she has been engaged in online teaching. She values this innovative pedagogical approach, as it allows her to connect with students globally.

An ancient proverb asserts that Western learning is for practical use, while Chinese learning is for essence. In her class, you will experience a blend of Eastern and Western cultures.
