          Professional Chinese teacher with 7 years of experience  — During the class you don't need to take notes because after class, I will send you the class notes and some homework. Before class, I will send you the material for review. I think the ultimate aim of learning a language is to speak it, so my class focus more on speaking and listening and you will do most of the talking.

          Why choose Anna L.

          "Anna is a very good teacher and very patience and teaching very good!"

          Native Chinese speaker with banking experience — I have four years experience teaching Mandarin. I passed the Mandarin test with a high score, and my Mandarin is very standard. Study Chinese with me, you will be able to understand Chinese news and watch Chinese TV programs. I also passed the CET-6 English test when I was in University.

          Why choose Yanan W.

          "I have been studying with Yanan for the past 3 months following on from a university evening course and so far have had an excellent experience. I decided to make the change from classroom study to Skype lessons to better fit my schedule and allow for more 1-to-1 time, and am pleased that I chose to do so with Yanan. Every lesson Yanan will prepare extra materials, in addition to my textbook, which can sometimes be quite challenging, but make me feel as though I’m making the most of the time. She is very patient, makes every lesson enjoyable and has really helped accelerate my learning of Chinese. I would recommend anyone in a similar position to myself, an adult learner in full-time work, to consider Yanan as a teacher."

        Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

        🌆 How do I skill up on Chinese in St Albans and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

        Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have four main choices for learning Chinese interactively in St Albans. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your second resource can be local commercial language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can look for a private Chinese tutor in St Albans. If flexibility is key, you can compare local St Albans and online Chinese tutors.

        🎟 Is it cheap to learn Chinese and what are the ballpark lesson costs for Chinese tutors?

        For university and college courses you can estimate Chinese course cost by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for 45-48 course hours each semester. Language academies and independent Chinese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced Chinese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, positive reviews and specialization. Customer review average for Chinese lessons on Preply is 4.96 out of 5 stars.

        📚 What are the requirements for Chinese language skill level to sign up for a course?

        When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and tests, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

        🔥 Why is Chinese not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

        Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Chinese. Realistically, you can gain basic Chinese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback 5 hours a week you will be able to understand everyday phrases, have simple conversations, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Chinese. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Chinese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

        🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Chinese?

        Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Chinese will necessitate at least 600 hours of practice. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your existing level of Chinese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Chinese out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

        🤳 Can I choose my own Chinese instructor?

        In language learning academies, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of pre-screened Chinese tutors with full profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

        🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

        Colleges offer classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools as a rule give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
