I studied Mandarin Chinese at U.W. from 1987-89, and learned grammar, reading, writing, pronunciation , and some conversation. Then I worked in China for two years teaching English, and my Chinese proficiency improved. My jobs were in universities in Shenyang and Chengdu. Many years passed before I was able to return. In 2002-03 I again taught English in China, this time in a primary school in Jinan. Much of my Chinese speaking ability came back, but my reading and writing abilities are now very limited.
It is my hope to return for a year of English teaching in China every few years. September 2005 is my next target date. Also I may have occasions to visit China on private business from time to time. I am a 56 year-old woman, and my ability to memorize has diminished, so it seems best for me to focus mainly on Chinese conversation practice. My speaking ability (pronunciatio n, grammar, and vocabulary) is better than my listening comprehension . For each lesson, I would like to have a conversation topic, spend some of the time discussing that, and the rest of the time learning sentence grammar and building my vocabulary. Each lesson should also have some review of previous lessons.
My schedule is very full, so it is only possible to plan 2 hours of lessons per week. This will be enough for me to continue active use of the language and improve gradually. I am seeking a teacher/tutor who is a native of Mainland China, preferably from the Northeast region. This person should have experience in teaching, skill assessment, and planning a course of language study for a student. The teacher does not need to be highly fluent in English. I live in West Seattle, and am willing to use my home for lessons or to travel to the teacher's home or another meeting place. I can pay $15-20/hour, depending on the teacher's experience.

Hello!
I'll be on exchange semester at the Hogeschool Zeeland in Vliessingen starting from September 2004. As there is no possibility to continue my Mandarin classes at the HZ I'm looking for a native Chinese who can teach me 'Standard (Beijing) Mandarin'. Although I already had some 3 semesters of Mandarin lessons at my home university and a stay of 6 months in Shanghai I think I'm still at the beginner's level.
I'm looking for somebody who doesn't live to far away from Vliessingen and who can teach me approximately 2 times a week. My main focus is conversation as well as the gathering of new vocabulary.

My sister and I are currently looking for a proficient Chinese Mandarin teacher to help us learn the language. We studied in a Chinese school which help us identify words and a little of the pronunciation . However, we were only able to memorize very well and our grammar is not polished as well. I would say we only have a little above beginner proficiency in Chinese.
We wanted to learn Chinese because it is a part of our heritage, it will help us communicate with other Chinese, and it would be very useful in business.
We would need a very comprehensive lesson plan that builds from the ground up. We have learned Chinese in the old style, literature and memorization. We would like to have lessons that are engaging and also practical. We would like to learn the rules of grammar in the Chinese language, which is very different from English and also how to write and converse fluently.
Right now, we can devote weekdays one to one and a half hours thrice a week. In the event that we have a job already, then weekends would probably be the best time or evenings.
The ideal teacher is one who also understands the qualities of the young and how to teach lessons that will engage them. She could use differnt media (e.g. CD's, videotapes of Mandarin shows, or movies) to teach. She should also be organized with her lesson plans revealing a gradual improvement. Also, she should be able to give feedback on our progress. The teacher should also be able to converse well in English or Tagalog to facilitate our understanding . She should be open to questions, even the most basic, and answer without derision. She should also not charge too much since we are still young and without a source of income. She would ideally have flexible hours and a friendly, approachable nature.
