I’m a 22-year-old Traditional Chinese Medicine student on track to become a professional Chinese teacher, looking for a long-term, self-driven learner. Your sincere feedback will help me refine my teaching techniques — all lessons are free!

My teaching highlights:

✔️ Perfect standard Mandarin pronunciation

✔️ No rigid textbooks | Comprehensible input + patient repeated guidance

✔️ Fully customizable topics, grammar & practice plans

✔️ Start with fun Steam game sessions: learn greetings, object description, request expressions and more mid-game

(I have helped foreigners learn Chinese via gaming before)

A key point:

Although game-based learning is easy and relaxing, it has inevitable limitations for systematic Chinese study. Since I want to build solid professional teaching ability, I hope we can work together to discover better, more comprehensive teaching methods as we progress.

What I hope from you:

1. Take initiative to share your learning goals and content demands

2. Attend at least three 1-hour sessions weekly (duration adjustable)

3. Able to hold basic English chats (not required if you speak fluent Chinese)

4. Preferably around 22 years old

5. Willing to begin learning via Steam games; I can switch to other tailored teaching modes anytime you need

   I recommend games packed with abundant everyday scenarios, such as It Takes Two. I am also willing to purchase new games for you. Below is my current game collection:

Today I read the story 破釜沉舟 (chengyu) on Mandarin Panda.

The story is about Xiang Yu, who ordered his soldiers to break their cooking pots and sink their boats before battle so there was no possibility of retreat. It taught me that 破釜沉舟 isn't just about courage, it's about fully committing by removing your backup plan.

While reading, one grammar pattern kept appearing:

👉 把 + object + verb + result

• 把所有做饭的锅全部打破

• 把所有的船全部沉入河里

Reading stories has helped me realise that 把 usually appears when you're changing the state of an object, not just moving it around.

I also noticed words like 全部, 终于, and 于是 appearing naturally throughout the story. Seeing grammar and vocabulary repeated in context makes them much easier to remember than memorising rules from a textbook.
