I am a qualified secondary Mandarin teacher with QTS and PGCE in secondary Mandarin teaching in the UK school; Bachelor in Education (Honours). I am specialised in helping students to prepare for Mandarin GCSE, IGCSE, A level, International A level and HSK exams.
My pedagogical approach is based on the science of memory and how students learn.
For example: the use of scaffolding planning and questioning skills which aim for differentiation have been adapted into my teaching over time. In teaching Mandarin, I believe that building up confidence, creating a good learning habit and encouraging discoveries of learning is of crucial for Mandarin learning.
Therefore, building confidence and promoting clarity, accuracy and proficiency are important. I am keen to work with my students to help and stretch their knowledge so that they can reach their language targets in a timely manner.
I have been teaching Mandarin from KS2 to the sixth form for more than fifteen years. Helping students enjoy and excel in Mandarin learning is what I am aiming for. I am specialised in helping students to prepare for Mandarin GCSE, IGCSE, A level, International A level and HSK exams. I am a dedicated and well resourced teacher with varied teaching strategies and flexibility.
I am able to teach Beginners of Mandarin

The lessons are tailored for the students ' needs. The four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing are covered in each lesson. Weekly homework with a spelling test are essential.
