Mandarin Courses : Toronto, Canada

This course is open to different kinds of language teaching approaches, such as communicative teaching method, multi-media teaching method, content-based learning, tasked-focused teaching, and deliberate teaching, etc., as long as that would facilitate each individual’s learning. Believing that everyone has their own pattern and preference in learning a new language, this course will tailor each lesson in the interest of each learner’s unique needs and learning goals.

The program and pedagogy are highly personalized in this tailored Mandarin course.

According to different learners’ learning objectives, I can systematically teach Mandarin starting from the basics, such as pin yin and characters, or I can focus on particular aspects that learners want to improve, such as grammar, vocabulary or pronunciation. I would also like to share Chinese culture and traditions with the learners who hope to learn Mandarin through culture and contexts.

I have Mandarin textbooks and I can prepare teaching materials for each class, while I also welcome students’ own learning materials if they are interested in particular contents.

For children, I can design many fun activities and games to facilitate their interest and communication skills in Mandarin; for adults, my teaching will be flexible and will be adjusted for each learner’s own goal and preference.

I can teach individual or group classes, both in-person and online.

My teaching methodologies are synthetic approaches in pedagogy which stimulate and facilitate adult language learning. Students remain engaged and confident throughout the course while building tangible, real-life language skills.

For speaking, I put emphasis on helping my students develop proper pronunciation, understanding the rules of sentences patterns and apply it properly.

For writing, I try to help my students understand how Chinese character represents the pronunciation and meanings, and then guide my students to memorize and write Chinese characters properly.
