Hi! I'm Elle from Taiwan, a native Traditional Chinese speaker.
Are you an intermediate or heritage Mandarin learner looking to strengthen your Traditional Chinese, improve reading/writing, or refine your daily conversation? You are in the right place!
Please note: I specialize in working with learners who already have basic knowledge.
currently do NOT teach absolute zero learners.
• Language of Instruction:
Lessons are taught in Mandarin or English. As an English major with formal teaching background, I can explain complex grammar, character nuances, and cultural context in precise, easy-to-understand English, or provide a Full Mandarin Immersion environment.
My Background & Teaching Experience:
• Pedagogical Background (Pädagogische Universität): I am currently a senior student majoring in English at a top Pädagogische Universität (Normal University) in Taiwan, enrolled in the Lehramtsausbildung (Teacher Education Program). This gives me a solid foundation in curriculum design and student-centered teaching methods.
• Proven Teaching Experience: I have extensive experience tutoring junior high and high school students in English, which honed my ability to analyze language structures, break down complex concepts, and guide students patiently.
How My Lessons Work:
1. Structured & Goal-Oriented Learning:
We go beyond simple textbook phrases. Depending on your goals, we cover authentic Traditional Chinese characters, grammar precision, formal/casual expressions, and vocabulary expansion.
2. Interactive & Engaging Lesson Dynamics:
Lessons are student-focused and conversational. We use real-world materials like news articles, podcast excerpts, travel scenarios, and Taiwanese cultural topics to keep discussions lively and meaningful.
3. Real-Time Feedback & Support:
During practice, I provide immediate, gentle guidance on tones, character recognition, and sentence structure, ensuring you learn native-like phrasing.
