Seattle Mandarin Chinese Tutoring FAQ

Varsity Tutors is the only name you need to know if you're looking for a certified Seattle Chinese tutor. Chinese is widely regarded as one of the most difficult languages for a native English speaker to learn because they share almost nothing in common. For instance, Chinese is a tonal language, so how you say something can literally change your statement's dictionary definition. English has nothing close to this, leaving many language learners scratching their heads.

However, just because the language is challenging doesn't mean it's not worth studying. Chinese is among the world's most-spoken languages, so understanding it could dramatically increase the number of people you can do business with. Chinese is also offered as a foreign language at educational institutions throughout the United States, so your student may look to Seattle Chinese tutoring for help with their class. You can also study Chinese for travel or simply because you enjoy a good challenge. No matter why you're studying Chinese, we can find you Seattle Chinese tutors.

How Can Working with A Seattle Chinese Tutor Near Me Help Me Build My Language Skills?

When studying Chinese, one of the biggest obstacles is often finding somebody to practice with on a regular basis. After all, practice is the most effective way to develop an ear for Chinese vocabulary and pronunciation. Working with a private instructor makes it easy to set aside time to sharpen your existing Chinese skills while building new ones. They can expose you to fluent Chinese so that you have a goal to strive for. Perhaps more importantly, they can also establish a learning environment where it's okay to make mistakes as you work toward a greater understanding of the Chinese language.

A private instructor can also design Seattle Chinese tutoring sessions around your current expertise and learning goals. If you or your student are just starting your language learning journey, your instructor can patiently answer any questions you have about the basics. If you've already been studying Chinese for a while, you can speak nothing but Chinese during your study sessions for a more immersive experience.

Likewise, your Seattle Chinese tutor can incorporate your preferred learning style to improve your study efficiency. If you're a visual learner, flashcards illustrating new vocabulary words can be a great way to build your vocab. If you're more of an auditory student, lecture-based formats featuring plenty of oral repetition may be a more effective means of expanding your Chinese lexicon. Similarly, kinesthetic learners who study best by doing can complete written assignments to reinforce their knowledge base. There is no universal way of studying a foreign language, so why not go with what works best for you?

Seattle Chinese tutors also afford their pupils the luxury of learning at their own pace. If you already understand the Chinese sentence structure, your instructor can concentrate on other areas to keep your lessons as engaging as possible. If you're having a harder time with the four distinct tones in Mandarin Chinese (flat, rising, falling, and falling then rising), your instructor can keep providing explanations and examples until you indicate that you're ready to move on.

A Seattle Chinese tutor can also work on any specific skills you're interested in improving. For example, Chinese has no alphabet and instead relies on approximately 50,000 characters representing syllables for writing. Remembering the ones you need (only 2,500 or so occur in most written works) can be difficult, so your instructor can encourage you to sketch out a quick outline with some of the symbols you plan to utilize. Alternatively, you can use pinyin, a system of transcribing spoken Chinese sounds into the English alphabet you're already familiar with. Your instructor can also provide prompt feedback on your work, enabling you to make any necessary corrections while the material is still fresh in your mind.

Like any language, Chinese also has a variety of grammar rules to study. A Seattle Chinese tutor can introduce these rules as you're ready for them. A beginner might concentrate on basic sentence structures, while more advanced students study how pronouns are pronounced differently based on the gender of the noun they're replacing.

If you or your student are studying Chinese culture in addition to the language, a private instructor can go over key concepts with you. For example, partaking in a traditional Chinese tea ceremony can help bring the culture to life.

Are You Sure Formal Seattle Chinese Tutoring Fits into My Busy Schedule?

We strive to match every student with a private instructor who meets their scheduling needs, allowing you to dictate when your study sessions take place. We also offer an exclusive Live Learning Platform that facilitates digital study sessions, allowing students to meet with their Seattle Chinese tutors anywhere with a stable internet connection. If you're concerned about the quality of digital instruction, don't be. Video chat functionality allows you to see your teacher as if you were in the same room for maximal convenience. All sessions are also recorded automatically, allowing you to go back to previous lessons as needed. Practice problems can also be integrated directly into the platform, allowing your instructor to provide feedback in real time.

If you're a traditionalist, we can also match you with a private instructor willing to meet you in person. You get to choose where each session takes place, whether that means the comfort of your own home or the tranquility offered by Suzzallo Library.

We also offer online classes if you're interested in supplementing your private instruction with something a little bit more structured. Reach out to us if you're interested in learning more about this service.

Recent Seattle Mandarin Chinese Tutoring Session Notes

Mandarin Chinese Tutoring review by Emily in Seattle, WA
Today was my second session with the student. He was advised by his instructor to learn the list of radicals provided in the textbook. So, we focused our session on memorizing and understanding the radicals used in different characters. He also had practice with pronouncing the radicals listed as well as writing the pinyin, tone, and character. We did not get to review tones as much as we would have liked, so we will do so in our next session.

Mandarin Chinese Tutoring review by Wan Wen (Jovana) in Seattle, WA
I helped the student with her weekly mandarin dialogue, corrected her pronunciations on some words, fixed her tones, did role play with her. By the end of the session, she's able to read through the dialogue with no difficulties.

Mandarin Chinese Tutoring review by Kathleen in Seattle, WA
The student was very focused today and had already memorized the characters for his dictation test and completed most of his homework. I helped him with the areas where he asked for help and he approached writing sentences with an open mind and even wrote some of his own sentences independently, which is huge progress.

Mandarin Chinese Tutoring review by Xinjie in Seattle, WA
The student and I worked on Pinyin and words in Chinese. We played games that would help her learn at the same time. She learned relationship words such as "older/younger sister/brother" etc. She also learned about facial stuff like "nose, eyes, teeth" etc. And also a few animal words.

Mandarin Chinese Tutoring review by Michelle in Seattle, WA
Today, we worked on colors. We made flashcards, and then worked on memorizing the words and how to pronounce these words. He has 19 words to memorize for the next session. I recommend writing the character, the pinyin, and the English over and over until he has them all memorized. I think time is the biggest issue right now-- Chinese is difficult and takes dedication. He is a smart boy, and if he studies, he's going to do great! He should also continue to review the words from the previous sections.

Mandarin Chinese Tutoring review by Jane in Seattle, WA
Continued "visiting the doctor". He was doing great with memorizing the expressions. We did role-play and he seemed to enjoy the practice. We covered a lot of materials in Chap. 15. The session went great!
