I can teach up to GCSE level Chinese or HSK level 1 and 2 with a focus on writing, reading and vocabulary. I am very flexible with teaching style, depending on how the student best learns but I have found that with learning Chinese there are some very simple memory tricks that help to make the language a lot easier to learn.
I have a degree in History and GCSE, A-Level and HSK level 4, which I passed in the top 10th percentile, in Chinese. I have spent a year in Beijing and am currently studying for a Masters in Advanced Chinese Studies in London.
PERSONAL PROFILE
I am a current student at the School of Oriental and African Studies doing a Masters in Advanced Chinese
Studies. I graduated from the University of Sussex (History) with a particular interest in languages, music and art. I have experience in catering, customer service and administration. Having spent over 15 months in Asia, I have learnt to interact with people of different cultures and fully immerse myself in and get the most out of new experiences. I have HSK level 4 in Mandarin and a basic grasp of Italian.
