Chinese tutor Dan in London majoring in Applied Linguistics at UCL IOE

Methodology

I am Dan, a postgraduate student majoring in Applied Linguistics at UCL IOE. I am giving lessons to all the students who are willing to speak Chinese and write in Chinese. I am going to combine vocabulary study with context teaching in a really relaxing and funny way, and I will explain the funny videos sometimes.

Background

I taught few students Chinese before and few students English. And I used to be a translator and interpreter for 3 specialists from SAP so I am also good at Business English delivery. During the one year in IOE, I learned quite a lot including second language acquisition, the importance of rising language, the maintenance and bilingual related issues with theoretical and practical combination.
