Katherine

As a native Chinese speaker, I am fully fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. I specialize in teaching both traditional and simplified Chinese characters, catering to learners of all levels. My lessons are available online or in-person, with flexibility to suit individual needs.

Tutoring Experience

10+ years of experience teaching Chinese language and culture at a community school.

- Worked with students aged 5–16, from beginner to GCSE level(Edexcel & AQA).

- GCSE Exam Specialist. Focused training in Mandarin & Cantonese exam techniques, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing strategies aligned with UK exam boards.

- DBS-certified (enhanced background check for safe tutoring).

Tutoring Approach

I believe in interactive, student-centered learning that adapts to each learner’s goals. My lessons include:

✔ Structured PowerPoints for clear grammar/vocabulary explanations.

✔ Games & multimedia (videos, songs) to reinforce learning.

✔ Past-paper practice & mock exams for GCSE success.

✔ Customized materials for traditional/simplified Chinese preferences.

Why Choose My Lessons?
- Exam-focused: Proven track record in helping students achieve top GCSE grades.
- Engaging & fun: Lessons designed to boost confidence in real-world Chinese.

- Flexible & patient: Whether for school, exams, or personal interest, I tailor lessons to your pace.
