Information about Wen

I have been an English teacher in a university in China for over 10 years, and a private Chinese tutor in UK for over 5 years. I know the tricks to keep students interests in learning Chinese.
I strongly believe that compared with English, Chinese is just different, but not difficult. The more my students learn with me, the more they agree with me on this point.
"Happy" would be the key word to describe my courses. For different age groups, I have designed various games and learning activities, to keep their interests in learning Chinese. From pre-schoolers to retired seniors from all backgrounds, they all find my lessons enjoyable as well as informative.
I also provide good chances in the lessons for my students in UK to have live chats with kids of similar age group from China and also ask them to exchange their self-introduction videos in both languages. Kids from both countries are very excited in this new-centry pen pal system.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I set up my own Mandarin training school in Saffron Walden in 2017. However, my experience of teaching Mandarin in the UK dates far before that.

Based on the age of students, my current classes can be categorized mainly on four levels. They are KS1, KS2, GCSE and adult lessons at various levels, in forms of group or one-to-one lessons. All levels cover the aspects of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, though according to the age and proficiency of students in Mandarin, the focus on each skill may vary.

After the first lockdown, all my lessons have been carried out on Zoom. It was a big challenge to both the teacher and the students. It turned out to be a more effective teaching method with versatile online resources. Based on the features of online teaching, I have created many virtual teaching activities and set up YouTube channel and Quizlet link etc. to facilitate my students’ study. All my students, apart from some KS1 students, are still having their lessons with me online.
I have also worked as an English teacher in a university in China for over ten years. It contributed a lot to my teaching experience at undergraduate level.
