I am a full time online teacher.
I have over 8 years of experiences in teaching and tutoring children and adults of all levels, from beginner to advanced.in language schools and as a private tutor.
I have been preparing students to sit for HSK exams during the last 4 years.
My course can offer:
※ Customized Chinese Class
※ Speech tutoring
※ Exam preparation
※ Travel and culture introduction
※ Conversation practice
※ Ancient Chinese and Poetry Tutoring
※ Homework is available upon request
IMPORTANT!
◾ If the student is late, the missing class time is not recoverable.
◾ If the student is absent without prior notice, the class will be charged.
Thank you!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are flexible and tailored to the individual.
For more advanced students who are going to be living or studying in China , this may be primarily through conversation practice and active role play scenarios, whereas for less experienced students I may use books or sheets to teach basic grammars, or perhaps pronunciation exercises and article reading sessions.
For children I use various materials, including textbooks,songs, games, slideshows, videos, worksheets and storybooks to enhance learning.

I wholeheartedly recommend Teacher Tara. She is not just experienced, kind, encouraging and well-prepared, but also fits each lesson to the student's level and needs. She can slow down/speed up/try a different approach during the lesson to help the student better understand, which is a true sign of a capable and empathetic teacher. My daughter loves to have lessons with Teacher Tara!

I've had 10 lessons with Tara now and in that time have already noticed significant improvements in my Chinese ability. I can speak much more confidently and understand what I hear much better than I could before I started her classes. Tara is a very professional and clearly experienced teacher, she always explains things very well and makes every lesson enjoyable. Couldn't recommend her more.

Tara is an amazing teacher. I love that she is firm with my son and sticks to an organized curriculum. We have worked with a few teachers and Tara has become our go to instructor. Keep up the great work Tara! We are so pleased. ☺️

I have been with this teacher for many lessons now, and she does not disappoint. When I am doing well, we go quickly, when I am slow to catch on, we slow down and make sure to cover what I struggle with. Additionally, she will share cultural points of China when the opportunity arises! Very good teacher, very effective!
