Advisor of the Week -- Lynn (Chinese language coach)
>>> Lynn Ji <<<
Bio
Hi! I’m Lynn. I graduated with a Master degree in ‘Teaching Chinese as a foreign language’ at Shanghai Normal University and joined GoEast in 2018. Here I explain a bit more about learning Mandarin and how I can help you.
What does a language consultant do?
A language consultant (LC) helps students to make learning plans. The most important thing is that the right language level is assessed, so the courses aren’t too easy or difficult — and that the expectations as realistic as possible.
Besides learning courses, an LC will collect students' feedback and suggestions. LC’s at GoEast not only focus on Chinese learning but also care about everything beyond learning, such as helping students to live more comfortably in Shanghai, discover interesting stuff in daily life. But of course, this is what AnyShanghai also does!
My professional background
I have been studying ‘Chinese as a foreign language’ for more than 6 years and started a part-time private tutor in 2013. Later I worked as a full-time teacher and accumulated teaching experience here, before joining GoEast in 2018 and switching to language consultancy. Yet these earlier teaching experiences still play a big role: they help me to determine student’s levels and find a class that suits them. Once we know the student's learning goals, we can give a guiding suggestion based on his level and his needs. When students are confused or at a loss during their study, we can also give some direction guidance.
In my spare time
I love climbing mountains! The highest I’ve climbed is 5,200 meters, to the top of 七一冰川Qīyī bīngchuān (July 1 Glacier). Last month I went to 四姑娘山 大峰Sì gūniáng shāndà fēng (Mount Siguniang) on a horseback. It was cold but amazing!
