About Me
Hi, I'm Summer and I am originally from China and currently live in Sydney, Australia. With over a decade of living here, I am proficient in both Mandarin and English. I am a happy and open-minded person who values diverse cultures and perspectives. I have interests in food, fitness, fashion, photography, and subjects related to psychology and well-being. I am excited to share my knowledge and experiences with you.
Me as a teacher
Teaching is my passion. As a teacher I am very patient, supportive and creative. I've been trained in the method of teaching Mandarin Chinese and have taught students at various levels for many years. I have also experienced learning a new language myself, which can be a fun and challenge. It's completely normal to feel nervous speaking a foreign language in the beginning, this is why I am here to support you, help you to boost your confidence and achieve your language learning goals. I create a comfortable and relaxed environment for my students, making the process easier but efficient for them. I believe I will get you all ready to speak in a foreign language!
My lessons and teaching style
Before you start your journey, I always begin with a personalised analysis of each student’s skill level. My lessons are highly dynamic, effective and efficient and I strive to make them fun and interesting.
Here are some areas I can help you with;
* Daily conversation
*HSK Preparation
* Listening and memory skills
* Gaining vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation
* Reviewing writing for grammatical corrections
* Any specific topics you are interested in
* Learning Chinese culture if you are happy to :)
My lessons will focus on the goals and objectives that you have or topics that you are interested in. My classes will be tailored to suit your needs. If you have specific topics that you would like help with, we can most certainly work on that!
