About Me

Hello你好！My name is Clover Tao, you can call me Clover or Tao laoshi. I am a professional Chinese teacher with more than seven years of teaching experience and a Teacher Qualification Certificate of PRC. I have a master degree in applied linguistics and have taught in China and overseas. I worked as a Chinese assistant in Australia for one year. My students have different levels and come from all over the world. I am a literature lover. In my spare time, I like travelling, watching movies and reading novels, 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!

Motivation is not the key to learning a language well, but persistence is. I encourage students to take two or three lessons a week to main a good learning speed.
