Chinese native speaker base in Birmingham right now.I can teach you how to speak and understand some easy Chinese words.

I was introduced by a friend to Yu-Ching, as I was looking to continue improving my Mandarin speaking, reading and writing skills after returning to the UK from Taiwan.

She is very thorough with her tutoring methods, which have been tailored to my specific needs for the work place. Since I have started lessons, we have used a wide variety of interesting teaching materials (podcasts, news articles, text books) which has improved my mandarin greatly, and has been based around my interests.

If you’re looking to start learning Mandarin, or increase your current skills, she is an excellent choice. I highly recommend getting in contact and giving her lessons a go. Lessons are excellent value for money, and can be modified to suit your learning style.

Yu Ching has been teaching me Chinese for two years. I've developed from a total beginner to someone who can hold steady conversations with shop workers and friends in Taiwan on a wide range of topics.

Our online and in person lessons revolve around the textbook from the National Taiwan Normal University's widely-respected course in contemporary Chinese. These provide a clear trajectory for steady progress and Yu Ching supplements them with her own powerpoint slides focusing on key details.

Lessons with Yu Ching are fun and relaxed. She's extremely reliable — has never cancelled a lesson! And her English explanations are great.
