Information About Qingli:
Personal Description:
If you are starting to learn Mandarin and want to use it in everyday life, my lessons focus on daily conversations, with Chinese culture woven into what you learn.
I was born in Beijing and have lived in England with my British husband for over 21 years. I hold a BA in Chinese Language and Literature and a BSc in Adult Nursing. I enjoy teaching, interpreting and translation, as well as getting to know people.
Teaching Experience:
From October 2004 to May 2005, I taught English part-time at Oriental Language School in Anyang, Henan, China, using New Concept English and Cambridge children's English materials.
I have also taught friends from different countries.
From October 2010 to 2012, I worked as a teaching assistant in a primary school, supporting pupils learning English as an additional language (EAL).
I have been teaching Chinese and English online and in person since May 2008.
I have also been teaching Chinese on Preply since 2018.
Tutoring Approach:
If you are a beginner, we will focus on everyday conversations connected to life in China. Lessons build step by step, introducing practical language alongside Chinese culture and history.
The aim is to help you use the Mandarin you learn in everyday conversations, building towards more natural communication as you progress.
If you are interested in lessons, please get in touch and tell me what you would like to learn.
