Teach: Chinese (Traditional) | Fee: Starting at $30/hr
I’m a certificated Mandarin teacher from Taiwan, and I have been teaching Mandarin overseas for the past 7 years in different educational institutions from primary school to university. I am specialized in conversational Mandarin; however, I am flexible to adjust class’s content and pace based on each student, and I would make students feel the satification after classes because I aim to make all my classes practical and useful, and provide assignments for students to practice and review outside of classes. I plan to set my fee starting at $30 per hour, varying based on the complexity of the material I need to prepare and the student's proficiency level.
