LoginSabrina - Leamington Spa tutor
Information About Sabrina:
Personal Description:
I was born in Nanjing, China, and am currently living in Leamington Spa. As a freelance translator/interpreter, I specialize in arts translation, and a selection of my portfolio is as follows:
In-house translator for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai
Interpreter for the first Fringe Festival in Shanghai
Translator for H+ Design Agency, ShanghART Gallery, Yibo Gallery and Shanghai International Art Festival
Translator for Vogue magazine (mainland China) dummy issues
English language editor at Vision magazine
I also worked as a freelance writer for Rolling Stone China (Chinese) and City Weekend Shanghai (English) between 2006 and 2007.
Teaching Experience:
I have been giving one-on-one Chinese lessons for over two years.
Tutoring Approach:
Learning Chinese is not just about imitating the seemingly impossible sounds and tones. Once you learn to read the characters, you will find a whole new world opens up for you. By teaching basic radicals and characters along with pinyin, I will help you get beyond the first step of "ni hao" and "xie xie".
The textbook I use is "Learn Chinese with Me", a Chinese textbook written by Chinese teachers and published only in China. For more advanced learners, I also provide tailor-made lessons that suits your level. Whether you are looking for Chinese-only conversations or specialized writing classes, all you need to do is send me an email with your requirements.
As a former radio DJ at Shanghai East Radio, I speak perfect standard Mandarin, so you don't have to worry that you will learn a language with an accent.
