    About me

    Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Xiandong, and I am currently a full-time Chinese language teacher for non-native speakers.


    🌠Currently living in China, my Mandarin is very standard

    🌠Three years' experience in HSK exam prep and Mandarin instruction

    🌠Skilled in tutoring beginners and intermediate-advanced learners, very patient with beginners

    🌠Tailored teaching materials for different courses, with notes sent to students after each class


    When it comes to exams, I have successfully helped many learners pass the HSK exam, as well as Singapore's Chinese and Higher Chinese exams, with excellent results. However, my teaching focus is not limited to exam preparation; I place a greater emphasis on the practical use of the language in real-life situations.


    For learners who do not need to take exams, I draw upon a wealth of teaching materials, including Easy Steps to Chinese, HSK courses, YCT courses, New Target Spoken Chinese, Chinese for Tourism, and Business Chinese, to create personalized courses tailored to their needs. Over the past three years, I have not only helped many beginners start their language learning journey but also assisted intermediate and advanced learners in overcoming obstacles and achieving their goals. Whether it's to communicate better with family, gain a deeper understanding of a new culture, explore through travel, work or live in a foreign country, or simply learn the language out of interest, you will find the right content in my classes. My courses are never one-size-fits-all, as each individual's background and needs are unique. I will create a customized learning plan tailored specifically to your situation.


    Here are some of the teaching content:


    For students preparing for the HSK exam:

    - HSK courses

    - HSK vocabulary flashcard practice

    - Practice with past exam papers

    - And more


    For learners with travel or work-related needs:

    - Pinyin/Pronunciation (tones)

    - Conversation skills

    - Listening skills

    - HSK grammar

    - Easy Steps to Chinese / New Target Spoken Chinese

    - Chinese for Tourism / Business Chinese

    - And more


    If you’re feeling stuck or unsure where to begin, please get in touch. Together, we can create a customised plan that meets your needs. I also specialise in assisting learners with listening and speaking difficulties. If you need help, don't hesitate to reach out!


    Enjoy your learning journey!

    I study regularly with Xiandong. He is very personable and kind, and he is always on time. I think he is a good perons and a great teacher, so I am very glad I chose him. I am an advanced level student, so materials can be more of a problem, but he is always patient and wants to help. I highly recommend Xiandong to students of all levels.

    Definitely goes above and beyond, researching what words would be useful in my learning goals and adding them to his already robust curriculum. I occasionally receive correspondence in Chinese from my work colleagues, and Xiandong helps me understand what my colleagues are writing or saying. Especially when it comes to spoken content, I would absolutely not be able to understand and do my job as well if I didn't have a tutor with such an advanced vocabulary and such a nuanced knowledge of Chinese. It's also very helpful that he remembers and tracks my progress since the start.

    My specialties

    Chinese for beginners

    As a Chinese teacher experienced in guiding beginners, I've found the journey enriching. Patience and adaptability are crucial, given the initial challenge of characters and tones. Through interactive and cultural lessons, I've seen significant progress and enthusiasm from students.

    Conversational Chinese

    With experience in teaching conversational Chinese, I emphasize immersive learning and cultural context to enhance language mastery. Integrating real-life scenarios has proven to boost engagement and practical skills. Personalized feedback tailored to individual needs significantly advances proficiency.

    Chinese for children

    As a Chinese language teacher with three years of experience specializing in teaching children, I've found that engaging young learners requires a unique blend of creativity, patience, and adaptability.My teaching approach focuses on making learning enjoyable and relevant.

    Business Chinese

    Teaching Business Chinese has been both a challenging and rewarding experience. My teaching method is to delve into understanding the specific jargon and cultural differences across industries to ensure that the content is practical and relevant to the students' career needs. The curriculum emphasizes communication skills, business writing, and language use in meetings and negotiations.

    HSK

    I've spent three years teaching Chinese to foreign students for HSK exam preparation, focusing on enhancing their language skills and exam confidence. My approach includes simulated exams, targeted exercises, and personalized feedback, emphasizing all HSK language aspects.

    Intensive Chinese

    As a Chinese teacher experienced in teaching advanced Chinese to international university students, I've focused on immersive learning, critical analysis, and cultural depth. Using literature, films, and debates, I tailor lessons to student interests, boosting engagement and proficiency.

    Chinese Literature

    Teaching Chinese literature has been an enriching and enlightening journey for me. I designed a curriculum that spans a wide range of works from classical to modern literature, allowing students to delve deeply into China's rich cultural heritage and literary traditions. Throughout the course, I emphasized the historical and cultural contexts behind the literary works and how they reflect and influence societal changes.

    Ap chinese language and culture

    Teaching the AP Chinese Language and Culture course has been an immensely fulfilling experience, where I integrated various teaching methods to help students deeply understand and master advanced Chinese language and culture. My teaching strategy covers the four essential language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with a special emphasis on critical thinking and cultural analysis.
