Learn Chinese from an MA in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages Graduate with over 4 years teaching experience!

Hi! I am Simon, an enthusiastic Mandarin Tutor. Below is how my lessons are structured: My Mandarin lessons follow a clear and personalised structure to support effective learning. Each session begins with a short review of previous topics to refresh vocabulary, pronunciation, and key grammar points. I then introduce new content in small, manageable steps, using examples, dialogues, and practical exercises suited to the student’s level and goals. Depending on the learner’s needs—school support, HSK preparation, or conversational Mandarin—I adapt the pace and materials. Lessons include speaking practice, listening tasks, character recognition, and cultural elements to build confidence and real-life communication skills. Every session ends with a brief recap, targeted feedback, and optional practice tasks so progress remains consistent and measurable.
