Hotaru Tutor Profile

Characteristics of my lesson!
 
♡ Theme-based Teaching
Escape from Mandarin language's grammar structures and focus on the most important aspects of languaeg learning: communicating in real-life situations! Through different theme-based teaching materials in each class, we "learn as we go" in the classroom, memorizing related word families at the same time, to improve vocabulary retention.
 
♡ Cultivate Authentic Mandarin Speaking Skills
In my class, I will promptly correct your grammar mistakes and word usage, as well as your intonation and pronunciation!
"Language Learning" starts from "imitation".
 
♡ Natural Language Acquisition
To increase the effectiveness of my teaching, I use Mandarin exclusively in the classroom. Learn with native speakers, immersing yourself into a fully Mandarin environment, getting accustomed to the speaking speed of native speaker. 
Let's make you sound more natural in Mandarin!!!
 
♡ Be Immersed in a Relaxed Class Atmosphere
Forget Mandarin grammatical structures in our relaxed and enjoyable classroom atmosphere created through carefully designed thematic content and in-class activities! At the same time, through interaction between us, you can learn about the language background and culture, breaking down barriers between different languages! This will help you use Mandarin naturally to communicate and express yourself, immersing yourself in a happy learning environment:)
