About Me

Hello everyone, My name is Clover Tao, you can call me Clover or Tao laoshi. I am a native Chinese speaker. I have been teaching Chinese to second language speakers for several years. I have taught in China and overseas. I worked as a Chinese assistant in Australia for one year. My students come across different levels and around the world. I have a master degree in applied linguistics which focus on language teaching. I am good at communicative language teaching and conversational class. In my class, you will be the center of our class and I am your facilitator, so you can decide the pace and content that you need.
I am a fun-loving and easy-going person as well as an excellent storyteller. If you decide to learn Chinese with me, I believe you will learn more than this language!

I am form northern China, so my pronunciation and accent are pretty good. I am a literature lover. In my spare time, I like cycling, playing badminton and reading novels, especially like culture and history. What about you? Could you tell me your story in Chinese!
If you are looking for a Chinese tutor, please feel free to send me a message or book a lesson. I look forward to seeing you soon!
If you wanna know more about China's culture, please follow me on my website: thenihaoChinese.wordpress.com
