🎉 Hi, Welcome to Ms. Feifei's Mandarin lessons designed for young beginning learners! In these 8 lessons, we will learn: Lesson 1: Hello. How are you?

Lesson 8: Section review & Graduation Party! I made my own modules and activities based on the Youth Chinese test level 1 ( http://www.chinesetest.cn/gosign.do?id=1&lid=0# ), I will use songs, animations, games, etc., material to engage our young learners. This lesson will be 80% Mandarin immersion. During each lesson, we will do : 5 mins: Greetings and review 20 mins: Main module 5 mins: wrap up This Lesson is Great for kids with no Mandarin experience! I will send out practice materials after each lesson for learners to practice. These materials will include: 1. Module Demo Video for learners to listen and practice. 2. Song or Cartoon playlist for learners to listen to and watch. 3. Worksheets- coloring pages, writing papers, etc. My Beginning level Mandarin class has 10 levels. Kids will have basic conversation skills and learn about 50 characters after Level 10. They will reach the Chinese level equivalent to YCT2 ( http://www.chinesetest.cn/gosign.do?id=1&lid=0# ) I can't wait to play and learn with you! Ms. Feifei 菲菲老师 * Section with low enrollment will be postponed till at least 3 kids sign-up or be canceled. I will try my best to make the section fit everyone's schedule. *Learning planning might be changed to fit kid's learning ability.

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
