Sydney tutor in Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese Extension (HSC), (NSW Qualified Teacher)

Sydney

(4 student reviews)

I have been tutoring in Sydney for all levels and age groups in both Japanese and Chinese since 1997.
I was chosen as the interpreter for the Asian Games 1994 in Hiroshima - Japan.
I'm anchorwoman at 2CR China Radio Network P/L since - 1997-current.


Most HSC students I've taught achieved 90 and above in the HSC (given they did not start tutoring at the last minute).
I also have a degree from UNSW for language teaching.

Before I came to Australia, I lived in Japan (Hiroshima) for 6 years. There I taught Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese) at the Japanese Foundation YMCA.

For school and university students, I will also assist with homework, assessments, preparation for examinations and assist with all other related issues.
I'm a firm believer that pronunciation accuracy in communicative language learning is most important, therefore I focus heavily on pronunciation.

I teach all areas including listening, reading, speaking and writing.

During the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima Japan, I provided translation services for the athletes coming from China and Taiwan. Also in Japan I've trained many people in Chinese conversation, culture and customs, including executives from NKK (NihonKouKan) to prepare them for new assignments in China.

I also prepare those who are hoping to participate in the " Japanese-Language Proficiency Test". This examination has 5 levels of difficulty. The certificate is internationally recognized and I highly recommend anyone studying Japanese to attempt the proficiency test as it will be highly beneficial for work or study in Japan.
