【My Strengths】🗣️ Why Learn With Me? "My child understands some Chinese, but can't read a single character... 🤔" "Do Chinese characters give you a headache? 🤯" "Struggling to follow faster conversations because you can't read? 💬" Your struggles are my specialty! Here’s what makes my approach fundamentally different ↓ ① I Turn Chinese Characters from a Hurdle into Your Superpower! 💪🌱 Many teachers avoid characters or force you to memorize them endlessly. I'll show you their secret: characters aren't just random strokes; they're fascinating puzzles made of logical "parts." My class has no tedious writing drills. Instead, you'll learn to decode characters like a game of LEGO in real conversations, making learning way easier and more rewarding. ② Fluent English & Native-Level Japanese Support 🌏🤝 I can teach fluently in English and have native-level proficiency in Japanese. Whether you or your child are absolute beginners or have specific questions, we can communicate smoothly in the language you're most comfortable with. ③ The "Real China" You Won't Find in Textbooks 🏞️ I live outside the big cities, in rural China. What I share with you isn't just the language, but the real stories, culture, and thoughts of people from this land. 【Lesson Introduction】🤖 From "Can't Read" to "Can Speak"! The biggest barrier in learning Chinese isn't vocabulary, it's that "an inability to read characters holds back your listening and speaking skills." My courses are designed to break down this wall. 🧱🚀 Core Philosophy: Understand Characters, Unlock Speaking. Use Tech to Focus on Fun! In my class, we'll use tools like AI and real-time subtitles to remove the pressure of reading, so you can first "understand" and "dare to speak." I'll break down the characters that appear in our conversation, explaining their sound and meaning parts. You'll discover that recognizing characters actually helps you guess new words, leading to a massive leap in your listening and speaking abilities. 🎧 This course is perfect for you: For Heritage Parents (Kids 9+) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The biggest challenges for kids are the fear of characters and a lack of interest. My lessons use your child's passions (anime, games, short videos) as a gateway to uncover the fun side of characters, sparking their curiosity to explore on their own. Learning will become a joyful, self-driven adventure! For Adult Learners (Heritage & Global) 🧑‍💼 Whether you're reconnecting with your roots or learning Mandarin as a new skill (especially if you're from Asia, Africa, or Latin America), we'll start with the basics. We'll use elements from your environment—local Chinese communities, online trends—to make learning relevant and practical. For Work & Social Needs ✈️ We'll practice in realistic scenarios so every sentence you learn is immediately useful. Understanding characters will also help you read work emails and social media faster. For HSK & Other Exams 🎓 I can also help with test prep! By analyzing your practice tests, I use AI to create targeted exercises for your weak spots to help you achieve your goals efficiently. (Note: My primary focus is on conversational skills.) 【About Me】 🐶 I Look Forward to Seeing You in a Trial Lesson! 👋 Hi, I'm Teacher Lei. 😊 After studying in Japan, I returned to my roots in rural China to become an online teacher. My life has had its twists and turns, and because of that, I have a deep empathy for the challenges language learners face. ❤️ ❓25-Minute Trial Lesson 🤲 A Little Prep, Please: Based on your goal (e.g., travel, work, family chat), please send me a few sentences in Chinese beforehand. (If you can't write in Chinese, English or Japanese is perfectly fine!) I will use them with AI 🤖 to prepare a personalized lesson plan just for you 🌱. I recommend using Microsoft Teams for our speaking classes. Its real-time subtitle feature is excellent and a great help for listening. Please download it if you can. 💻 ➡️ What We'll Do: Discuss your learning plan → A simple level check → Experience my "Character-as-a-Game" mini-lesson! ✅ ❗️Lesson Rules ❕ Booking 🗓️: If possible, please try to book all your lessons at once. This helps us create a stable and effective learning schedule. Rescheduling 🔄: You can change the lesson time directly on the platform. I would appreciate it if you could briefly write down the reason for the change. Homework ✍️: Homework is simple! It's mainly about creating a few sentences based on our lesson or a topic you're interested in. The focus is on "using" the language, not "memorizing." I will always respect your pace. I'm excited to start this fun journey into Chinese with you! 🎉
