About the lesson

I am a qualified UK secondary school teacher (QTS, PGCE), and have taught Mandarin Chinese full-time in both the state and private sectors in the UK, at two schools leading the country in their Mandarin provision. I have passed the highest level exams in Mandarin Chinese (HSK level 6, and Advanced Speaking HSKK), and have lived in China for six years. I have just completed a Master's degree in the field of applied linguistics. My approach to tutoring is based on my own experience and academic research in the field of second language learning. - I aim to foster and maintain motivation, through relating all topics directly to my students' everyday lives, experiences and opinions; and through providing instruction which is tailored to students' requirements. - I aim to make my students feel comfortable through helping them to feel relaxed and providing as much linguistic support as is needed. - I aim to increase my students' linguistic knowledge through using resources which are at a level just slightly beyond the student's current level, so that they are comfortable, but challenged. - I am to promote skills development through developing comprehension skills (reading and listening), but also productive skills (speaking and writing).

Perfect! Neil is brilliant! He is very reassuring in a tricky topic. My daughters confidence has already grown and she is enjoying speaking Mandarin as much as writing the characters now.
