Hello my name is Tianji. I grew up in Beijing and the United States, and I’m fluent in both Chinese and English. The private lessons will be arranged according to your needs. The beginner``s level will focus mainly on conversational skills, including pronunciation, basic vocabulary and an introduction to the traditional as well as the contemporary Chinese culture. For the more advanced, we could discuss topics of your interest both orally and verbally with the aid of reading materials such as articles and short stories. I hope to offer you a more intimate connection to the language through an understanding of its cultural aspects
