About Xinyi

My name is Xinyi, and I come from Sichuan, the home of the giant panda. I am very passionate about teaching and learning languages. I hold a bachelor's and master's degree in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages，and I hold the Certificate for Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages. I have one year of online teaching experience and three years of on-site teaching experience（Confucius Institute in the University of Latvia）. My students have ranged in age from 3 to 50 years old, come from various countries, and have diverse cultural backgrounds. I am skilled at developing personalized teaching plans based on students' different needs and learning styles, helping them master Chinese in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. In my teaching, I focus on cultivating students' language communication skills and cultural understanding, utilizing diverse teaching methods such as interactive classes, gamified learning, and multimedia resources to enhance students' learning interest and effectiveness. I can effectively adapt my teaching methods to the different characteristics of online and offline classes and manage both types of classrooms effectively. During my teaching, my students have successfully passed HSK Levels 1, 2, and 3 exams, and have won awards in Chinese cultural knowledge competitions and the Chinese Bridge competition. I enjoy learning about different cultures, and I like doing handicrafts such as pottery and crochet. I also enjoy traveling, hiking, photography, and cooking.

About the lesson

My approach is grounded in “Context-First Acquisition” — a framework where language is never taught in isolation. Instead of memorizing vocabulary lists, we explore words and structures through culturally-rich narratives, real-life scenarios, and multimedia immersion.
I integrate:
Task-Based Learning (TBL): Each lesson centers around a meaningful task (e.g., planning a trip using Chinese apps, interpreting a scene from a film, debating a cultural topic).
Differentiated Scaffolding: I dynamically adjust support based on your real-time responses—providing visual aids, sentence frames, or conversational prompts as needed.
Metacognitive Strategies: I guide you to reflect on how you learn best, helping you develop personalized language-learning habits that last beyond our sessions.
A Glimpse into a Typical Lesson Plan (60-min Session)
Phase 1: Warm-Up & Context Setting (10 mins)
A relaxed conversation sparked by a short video clip, song, or current event in Chinese-speaking regions.
Activation of prior knowledge related to the day’s theme.
Phase 2: Core Skill Development (25 mins)
Introduction of target language functions (e.g., expressing opinions, describing processes) through interactive slides, authentic materials (news excerpts, podcasts), or role-play setups.
Guided practice with immediate, formative feedback focused on fluency and accuracy.
Phase 3: Application Task (20 mins)
A collaborative challenge: co-writing a social media post in Chinese, analyzing an infographic, or simulating a real-world interaction (e.g., a business negotiation, a travel inquiry).
Emphasis on communication strategies over perfection.
Phase 4: Reflection & Roadmap (5 mins)
Summary of key takeaways and self-assessment.
Co-creation of personalized practice recommendations (e.g., a curated short film to watch, a related podcast episode).
What Truly Sets Me Apart
I Teach Chinese as a Living System, Not a Subject: My background in cross-cultural communication allows me to highlight the “why” behind the language—how historical, social, and psychological layers shape expression.
A Dual Focus on Proficiency + Intercultural Dexterity: Beyond grammar, I prepare you to navigate subtle nuances—humor, politeness norms, contextual appropriateness—equipping you for meaningful connections.
Adaptive & Evidence-Informed: I continuously refine methods based on second language acquisition research and learner analytics to ensure efficiency and relevance.
Who These Lessons Are Designed For
My expertise is best suited for learners who seek structured yet flexible, depth-oriented progress:
Beginners who are curious about Chinese language and culture.
University Students & Researchers: Needing academic Chinese for studies, papers, or fieldwork.
Heritage Speakers: Wishing to reclaim linguistic roots with a contemporary, culturally-grounded approach.
Advanced Hobbyists: Passionate about Chinese cinema, literature, or philosophy and desiring deeper engagement with original texts.
