Tom - Islington tutor






Information About Tom:


Personal Description:

I am a Chinese native speaker, and now postgraduate student in translation on the university scholarship. I was doing BA in Chinese language and literature in China before.
Before I came to London, I attended the National Teaching Chinese as a Second Language Certificate Examination ( Advanced Level ), and 1 subject got 58%, thus 2 points away from highest level of Chinese-teaching certificate.
I 'm optimist, fun-loving, easy-going, while serious and patient and good at making jokes in both Chinese and English :) .
I'm also a versatile person. I play guitar, football, basketball, and have a good knowledge of Chinese culture and history. In addition, I write good Chinese calligraphy. And cook nice Chinese veggie dish as well. :P



Teaching Experience:

Some personal tutoring in Mandarin and guitar



Tutoring Approach:

1. Using my versatility to make Chinese-learning easy and fun;
2. to share my experience and methods in language learning, in order to let students learn a new language more quickly. As the Chinese proverb goes:" Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.";
3. to make best use of online resources to make my teaching state-of-art;
4. to combine language learning and cultural tips.
