Students 你們好!

My name is Jamie Chen. I have been teaching Verbling for six years. My approach to teaching is immersive language learning, which means I will speak in Mandarin and expect students to do the same. You will find yourself applying what’s in the book immediately and building confidence in speaking to natives.

I have experience teaching absolute beginner to intermediate Mandarin learner (for those who doesn’t have Chinese background). After years of teaching, I have developed a way of teaching without over-explaining and leaving time for practicing.

I also have experience offering free-talk lessons to overseas Chinese. Many students who have a Chinese background struggle to express themself accurately. The reasons are usually a lack of vocabulary and incorrect sentence structures. You might have questions about words that sound alike or how to express something in a Chinese way. We will discuss the language with the culture involved.

I encourage students who want to book a trial lesson to write me a message about their level and goal before booking. I teach with textbooks. The textbook series I am currently using is 當代中文課程 (traditional) and HSK (simplified).
