Information About Huiwen:

Personal Description:

I am a native and highly qualified Mandarin teacher based in the United Kingdom. With extensive experience in teaching Chinese as a second language, I am well-versed in all aspects of the GCSE Chinese, iGCSE Chinese, and A- Level Chinese curricula across major exam boards, including Edexcel Pearson, AQA, and Cambridge. I also serve as an examiner for these boards, conducting GCSE and A-Level Chinese speaking and writing assessments.

I hold a PGCE from Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) and have obtained Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in the UK. Additionally, I graduated from the prestigious Institute of Teaching Chinese as a Second Language at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU), where I honed my expertise in language education. With over 20 years of experience teaching Mandarin to foreign learners at university language centers in Taiwan, I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical teaching skills to my students.

As a qualified language teacher with a strong background in both Chinese and English instruction, I am passionate about helping students achieve their language learning goals. Whether it's preparing for exams, improving conversational skills, or mastering Chinese characters, I tailor my teaching approach to meet the unique needs of each learner.

Teaching Experience:

As a native speaker with over 20 years of experience teaching Chinese as a foreign language, I am equipped not only to teach Chinese grammar but also to incorporate linguistic analysis and comparison, which helps my students gain a deeper understanding of the language. Learning Chinese is not about memorisation-it's about understanding. Chinese is not difficult to learn; it is simply different.

Tutoring Approach:

Familiar with the MEP Chinese curriculum. Specialise in AQA and Edexcel GCSE and A-Level exam boards, and have served as an examiner teacher for both. My teaching approach is comprehensive yet engaging. For adult learners, I focus on the HSK curriculum to help students achieve their qualifications.

Qualifications:

• QTS
• PGCE
• MD Teaching Chinese as Second Language
