Class Experience

** Majority of my openings are taken by current/returning learners.  Please contact me if you have a group waiting to do private lessons together. **

Our Mandarin Chinese School offers 12 levels, starting from pre-foundation to high school level. I tailor the teaching materials for each class to match learners' individual speeds and goals, so there’s no need to purchase additional materials—I provide all the practice resources you’ll need.

Each level is designed to ensure that learners can immediately apply what they’ve learned in real-life situations. While our lessons are based on ACTFL's learning goals, I also customize the content to help you achieve your personal objectives more efficiently.

Students will learn through dialogues, vocabularies, sentence patterns, songs, rhymes, and games.  We will focus on practical conversation and also learn:   
1.	Real hands-on learning experience:  Students have the opportunity to use what they learn to create their own sentences while having conversations with me. 
2.	Learn practical daily life conversation and say them in the correct way and with cultural context. 
3.	Play games to help students remember what they have learned. 
4.	Opportunity to explore vocabularies, writing, and Chinese character recognition. 
5.	Learn from a native speaker with proper Mandarin tones and with a neutral Mandarin accent. (I was born and educated in Taipei, Taiwan and I completed my master in the U.S.A.).  
6.	Learners have options to utilize both Bopomofo and Pinyin, simplified characters and also traditional character

Each lesson:
We review previous lesson(s) play games, and add new material.  Learners have many opportunities to practice what they have learned in the class with the native speaker (me).  Pronunciation is one of the key ingredients when learning a foreign language.  I will help students to correctly pronounce tones and provide a structured approach to learning Mandarin Chinese.  

Students are encouraged to play games utilizing the materials I send to them after each lesson. This way, students will be able to remember what they learned instead of just bringing home a bunch of paper. 

Feel free to reach out to discuss private group lessons or to learn more about how we can support your language learning journey!

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Learning a language is all about practice. Learners are encouraged to practice at home 10-15 minutes a day. Learners can choose to use the websites listed under Resources outside of Outschool (all resources are approved by Outschools) or use the standard Outschool tools to provide feedbacks/assignment or practice after the lesson. Learners who choose to use Quizlet, Kahoot, YouTube and Flipgrid will need to have access to these resources. I recommend learners to use these resources to help them to help them to learn Mandarin.
Supply List
A note book for note taking. A pair of headset.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been teaching Mandarin Chinese privately and with a global language corporation to adults and children. I believe a small class setting is best for language learning so I can actively assist students with their language needs. Here are some comments from my students and their parents: 

“Vivien was excellent | fantastic teacher, thanks for speaking slowly and clearly, very helpful! :) | Very good teaching. Well-paced reinforcement. Vivien seems to enjoy her job. | SO GOOD!!! love with other students. Teacher hen hao! | My kids love learning through you.  We are so happy that you inspire them to learn, and that they enjoy their time with you.  This is a gift. | Our son has enjoyed the classes from the start and has made steady progress.  |  Vivien has been attentive throughout the entire process and has made the classes interesting for him. We definitely recommend these classes.” 

Based upon the feedback from my students, I believe your children will enjoy learning with me.  Learning a language is a commitment. I offer small class settings so I can make sure each learner gets their opportunity to learn to use Chinese.
