About Me
My brief info are as follows:
✓A native speaker originally from XI'AN (a north-western city in China)
✓Master degree from Macquarie University, Sydney
✓Putonghua Degree Certificate:Second-level Grade A
✓9-year teaching experience at iMandarin Language School in Shanghai and Community Centre Shanghai
✓1-year teaching experience in the Confucius Institute at the University of Melbourne
✓3-year working experience in Australian local business environment
✓Specialised fields: Total beginners (to help them break through open-mouth phrase and keep them motivated); Spoken Mandarin; Chinese Characters; HSK preparation
✓Super patient with my students but not with my daughter( don't know why???)
Hi I'm Mary, originally from the north-west of China and living in Australia now. I've been teaching Mandarin to foreigners since 2005. Through my career life, I've taught both in Shanghai and Melbourne, both group class and private tutoring, both face-to-face class and online class, both adults and teenagers, kids. During 2010 to July 2011 I was honoured to work as a Mandarin Instructor in the Confucius Institute at the University of Melbourne. I'm experienced in teaching different levels of Mandarin and specialised in Beginner's Program, Spoken Chinese and HSK preparation. My teaching method is pretty traditional: starting with Chinese Phonetics and Tones, learning from basic topics like Self-introduction, Family Members, Dates Time and Numbers, Hobbies, Ordering Drinks etc. after building up a solid foundation of PinYin. For those who are keen to take HSK exams, I usually walk them through by doing mock Exam papers, explaining new vocabularies and grammar points to get them ready for the real test. As a professional Mandarin teacher with over ten-year work experience, I believe suitable methodology and right study material would lead the learners to an efficient and approachable progress. No pains, no gains. About teaching, I'm serious. Looking forward to meeting you soon!
