About Me

Notice: Dear students, Verbling was acquired by another company, and it won't support tutors in China after 3rd Feb., so please don't pick a time after that!

Hello你好！My name is Clover Tao, you can call me Clover or Tao laoshi. I am a native and professional Chinese teacher with more than eight years of teaching experience and a Teacher's Qualification Certificate of PRC. I have a master degree in applied linguistics which focus on language teaching and have taught in China and overseas. I once worked as a Chinese teaching assistant in a high school in Australia for one year. My students have different levels and come from all over the world. In my spare time, I like travelling, cycling, reading, especially culture and history. I am from northern China, so my pronunciation and accent are pretty good. If you are looking for a Chinese tutor, please feel free to send me a message or book a lesson! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Please note that I am currently not accepting total beginners and students below 12 years old.
