Mandarin Tutors in Kuala Lumpur : Form 4 - 5 (SPM) / O-Level

Education

Degree in Business Management

Experience

Though my highest qualification is degree in business management, my greatest strength is to build up a potential student who can grow happily with passionate and open minded thinking. Many students failed to deliver in their academic, not because they are stupid or lazy. It is because they have lost direction and teacher failed to build up their interests and confidence level. In the past, I have students from age 10 to 50 years old. Now again I have a few primary and teenager students.

Tutoring Approach

Plan syllabus that suits a student's needs. Open Questions & Answer: discuss, work on one step by one step to check for the student's understanding at which level before proceeding to the next stage. Encourage students to work independently, and write freely based from the project or the material asked. Rephrase a student's question into your own words, be patience, supportive, and encouraging. My philosophy is 'No stupid question or answer.' Respect and Resilience are the keywords to success.        One-to-One tuition rate: For primary school, fee per hour is RM50. For lower secondary school, fee per hour is RM60. For upper secondary, fee per hour is RM70. For private primary and secondary school, the fee per hour rate is different.  Any student who takes 1.5 hour per week or from the same family more than two or a group of three from the same level per week will enjoy a special online rate.

My 13 years old son has been taking English online tuition with teacher Michael for about a year. We find teacher Michael to be a really good tuition teacher. He is conscientious, responsible and takes a lot of time and effort to ensure the lesson is effective. Although we have an hour of tuition, he takes time to prepare before the lesson and also marks homework after the lesson so I think he spends double of time we pay for. In addition, teacher Michael also prepares exams for my son to take after every term and sends me the student progress report, so he is more or less like a school teacher! Other than the actual lesson plan, I also like the fact that teacher Michael always takes time to have a short chat with my son, he will find out about his interest, what’s happening to him that week and so extra activities that fit his interest to keep him engaged with the lesson. Kudos to him for that!

Besides, now I can speak and know short translations from Chinese to English in the writing. Teacher Mike has set a target for me, it is above 70 in the coming exam.

Ms Chen is a great mandarin teacher for my daughter who is an international school student. Her classes are personalized, fun and interactive. As a result of attending her classes, my daughter developed an interest in Mandarin and started to naturally communicate in mandarin from time to time. Her results improved dramatically and more importantly, she enjoys learning the language.

Education

Bachelor Degree in Psychology; MBA

Experience

Many learners are learning the Chinese language the wrong way, let me show you how to do it right and effectively. I'm a native Chinese and a Chinese language specialist. Having gone through and seen many pains and stresses related to Chinese learning, I can greatly speed up your communication skill and writing skill in Chinese using my customized, step-by-step Fast-track Training program. I'm skilled in creating an interactive platform for optimum learning. For the past 13+ years, I provided practical and fun-filled activity-based learning to all walks of life. I taught classes of different sizes (from 1 to 100), different levels (from beginners to advance; 2.5-65 years old) and different purposes (from daily-conversation to business presentations in Chinese) in Sri KDU international school, language centers, local and international companies in different countries. As a Mandarin Language Specialist, I developed an App called “Chat to Learn Chinese”. Hundreds of students speaking like Chinese natives within 6 months of exposure to my model is legendary. I contributed to Chinese language learning by creating educative articles and videos on digmandarin.com and medium blog. I also do volunteer works (helping refugees to learn Chinese and other subjects) and tutored some special kids with autistic syndrome/ADHD.

Tutoring Approach

For Mandarin: Most of my students were able to speak Mandarin naturally in less than 6 months by using at least 200-600 vocabulary (70-80% understanding). After 13 years of working actively as a teacher in the Chinese language, I discovered these teaching methods: (Pinyin and tones → basic word orders → expressions close to English → expressions not close to English → Chinese Characters). I call it a Fast-track Training that is so effective that my students were able to converse easily in the Chinese language. The class is highly intensive, fast-paced, interactive, practical and fun. For example 1) Talk in Mandarin starting from day one. You will learn the classroom instructions and some practical phrases in Chinese in the first two classes then I will shift to 100% Mandarin gradually. My students were able to express themselves in Chinese in less than 4 classes. 2) Learning Mandarin with or without Chinese characters. You can learn the language by using PinYin (Western letters). Highly recommended for those who want to learn conversation only. 3) Practical first: We will focus on your interested topic/area instead of learning the language in a general way. 4) A powerful tool - role play: I'll pretend to be your Chinese business partner or a waiter and we chat normally. In this way, we can make the language 1000% more practical to you. 5) Customised learning topics and materials. 6) Looking forward to learning the Chinese language with you : ) Just call/text me

Her teaching style is very communicative-based and student-centered. I was a little worried because it was the first time to learn Chinese. But thanks to Chris, I become more interested in Chinese and motivated to keep studying it as well.

She is an excellent teacher, I learned a lot from her. She comes on time, fun to learn with her, and I improved so much. Unfortunately I have to move out from this country that's why have to quite the lesson otherwise I would have continued to learn from her. I had a chance to change my flight in China, and I could talk in Chinese language with local people and they understood. It made me happy! I definitely recommend her for your tutor. Thank you Chris.

She is a very passionate and dedicated teacher. After having a few classes with her I can definitely see an improvement in my ability to converse in Mandarin. The use of PinYin to teach makes it easy for me to grasp the language faster. She is very patient and always ensures that I understand what was taught. I would highly recommend Chris Lee to anyone wanting to learn to speak Mandarin fast.

Since 2015 teacher Chris has been tutoring both my 9 and 11 year old boys in 4 core school subjects (English, Science, Maths and Chinese). She is always on-time, articulate, kind and patient. Both my kids love her and I can see visible improvement in their school, homework and examination results. I have also personally taken Mandarin classes from her and find that her teaching methodology and approach is very effective. I highly recommend her.

Chris is a very talented and knowledgeable tutor. She is patient and supportive and had a very nice way about her. She came extremely prepared which impressed me. What I loved about working with Chris is that she didn't teach me anything I didn't need. We only focused on the important concepts I'm going to need for my job. A pleasure to work with and definitely a class act. Would recommend to anyone.

I am a few weeks into my Mandarin classes with Chris and could not be happier with my choice to begin learning this language! Chris' approach is pragmatic and practical which has given me the ability to construct basic everyday sentences in only a handful of classes. I believe that this method of learning is extremely useful and I have already been able to engage in simple talk with Mandarin speakers as well as finally understand what's going when ordering food in a Chinese restaurant. A huge thumbs up to her patience with her students and ability to address any questions I might have in the most clear manner to further enhance my learning process. I'm excited to see my Mandarin language skills progress more and more in the coming weeks!

Chris is an experienced tutor where she would adjust her teaching according to your understanding and what's practical in real life, so you don't need to waste time to force your brain to learn something that you will never use or listening to "wode pengyou zai narli, zai zheli,zai zheli" 100x times. Her teaching is not rigid, and she always there to help your learning.

Education

Bachelor of Business Administration

Experience

I have years of teaching experience also familiar with national and international school syllabus from Primary to Secondary level for example KSSR, IGCSE, K1-12 and Olympiad Maths. My goal is to deliver good knowledge and bring out the best in students within a short period of time.

Tutoring Approach

I'd first assess and identify the student's strengths and weaknesses in order to customise the study plan and worksheets according to his/her school syllabus. Every student's progress is taken seriously. Hence, I'll use students-approach methods to ensure students are understand and able to complete assignments at ease. I strongly believed that building a solid foundation is always the first key to succeed academically.
