About Zu
Hi my name is Zuyi! I am a civil engineering student who’s lived in Australia for 11 years. I was born and raised in Beijing, and have always been interested in linguistics, reading, art and culture since I was a kid!
I am interested in many things such as music, cinema, classic literature, swimming, boxing, film photography, science, history, funny conspiracy theories…you name something and we’ll talk about it!! Well…in Mandarin! I am also learning German as a third language myself, so being a student at the same time makes me a better teacher :D

你好呀!
我上课的风格比较轻松, 我也很有耐心!因为我本身是在中国出生长大的,我经历了和你一样的应试哑巴英语学习经历,并通过11年的海外生活经验把英语练到了母语级别。所以我完全理解那种大概听的懂,却完全不敢张口对话,怕出错,怕挫败的感受。对着教室里或者公司里的英语母语者们,我们完全不必自卑,因为我会帮你找到最适合你的方法练习口语!
在我们开始英语口语练习之前,我会先跟您聊几句,了解一下您现在的口语水平,还有您想要练习口语的目的是什么,无论您是刚搬到国外来工作或者学习,陪读,每个人的起点和学习一门外语的方式都不一样, 我会尽量帮到你。
在了解清楚您的需求之后, 我们就可以针对你真正需要的部分(上课,工作,或只是正常生活)来准确练习,不管是把一些拗口的单词和语法弄明白, 或者说您想摆脱那种只是为了应付国内应试教育的”教科书式英语”, 又或者是想扩充词汇量,了解西方的语言习惯,或是想弄明白中文和英文之间最根本的差异, 我都可以来帮你!
Hi there!
My usual teaching approach is that-before we dive into a puddle of new information, I would like to have a short chat and find out where you’re at in terms of speaking, and what you’re hoping to get out of the lessons. Everyone’s starting point and preferred way to learn is different and unique :)
From there, we will work on the stuff that actually matters for you, whether that’s sounding out tricky words and grammar, getting past the stage where you’re stuck in textbook English that’s only build for language tests, building vocabulary, or just understanding the fundamental differences between Mandarin and English.
I keep things relaxed and I am very patient and encouraging. Because I grew up in China and learned English as a second language myself, so I understand how frustrating it can feel when speaking a language you didn’t grow up speaking doesn’t come naturally yet, I will help you find what’s better for you!

Zuyi is a very engaged and adaptable tutor. I already had a foundation in Chinese language, but her tutition has dramatically improved both my reading comprehension and my pronounciation. Zuyi tailors lessons to your needs which I found particularly helpful as she was able to recommend lots of articles and short stories to improve. Her lessons fun and fly past because she's so passionate about what she does and she never makes me feel foolish for making a mistake.
One thing which sets Zuyi apart from other tutors is she listens. She's somebody who, if you don't understand something, is very good at explaining it in a different way which makes it comprehensible. I've found this to be a very rare quality in tutors and I highly recommend her.Zu is an engaging and friendly tutor! She taught me some conversational Chinese, information about various Chinese cultures, histories and folklores! I have plans to travel through China next year, and Zu's tutelage has made the trip seem less daunting! I cannot wait to test out my Chinese during my journey!
Zu is a highly capable and proficient English teacher, and one whom I can’t recommend more highly. Her English skills are unparalleled, and any student wishing to develop their language skills with her couldn’t be in safer hands.
As work required a lot of travel to China, I thought it would be prudent to learn some Mandarin. Unfortunately it turns out I should have been taking Cantonese lessons. Oh well it’s still been a great learning experience. Zu is very patient and fun to learn with.
Zuyi helped teach me Mandarin phrases to help communicate with some of my students. She catered the lessons to what I needed. It has helped greatly with my day-to-day in the classroom.
Zu was an excellent tutor! She has been great at breaking down difficult grammar into more easily understandable patterns, then providing organic examples of how they can be used. I felt comfortable chatting with her to practice my conversational Chinese and I never felt embarrassed when I made a mistake.
