Cleveland Mandarin Chinese Tutoring FAQ

What are the advantages of working with a Cleveland Chinese tutor near me?

There are many reasons securing the services of a Cleveland Chinese tutor can be a good idea, chief among them being that it gives you access to an expert on the language. This isn't like signing up to learn Spanish or French. Even Russian and Greek at least come with an alphabet, even if most of the world has to learn it from scratch. With Chinese, you're approaching learning language from a totally different paradigm. It's the only modern pictographic language. There are technically over 50,000 symbols in the written language, only 20,000 of which are used these days and only 2,500 of which you'll see with much frequency. Many of these symbols are derived from ancient drawings originally meant to depict the items they were supposed to represent but today they just represent syllables and require a system called Pinyin to translate them into English characters.

Cleveland Chinese tutors can't make the Chinese language magically easier to learn, but they are certainly a helpful resource throughout the process. They're intimately familiar with all of its complexities and can help craft a lesson plan that starts by building a strong foundational understanding of the language before branching out to practical expansions. If you find yourself running into a wall, they can answer questions to clear up any confusion you might have. This is the sort of one-on-one attention that might be lacking in a traditional classroom setting and can help deepen comprehension on an escalated timeframe.

The individual attention you receive during Cleveland Chinese tutoring sessions becomes distinctly important as you tackle the task of learning to actually speak Chinese. This is always the most challenging part of learning any new language, but it's uniquely difficult with Chinese for two reasons. First, written Chinese gives zero indication of how a word is supposed to be pronounced. Without instruction, there is no way of knowing how to say something in Chinese. Second, Chinese is what's known as a tonal language, which means how you say it changes the meaning of a word. In Mandarin, the most widely used of seven Chinese dialects, there are four different tones: flat, rising, falling then rising, and falling. Change the tone used, and you change the entire meaning of a word, phrase, or sentence. It could be the difference between an innocent observation and an insult.

Cleveland Chinese tutors can give you the steady guidance necessary to learn the tonal distinctions required to speak Chinese proficiently. In a conventional classroom, pronunciation is typically modeled by the teacher speaking at the front of the class, and the class repeating it as a chorus, where missteps in tone can easily slip through the cracks. With video chat, though, your online Cleveland Chinese tutor can correct improper intonation in the moment to prevent bad habits from settling in. This practice can also help train your ear to the pace of conversational Chinese, which tends to move at a faster clip than what you hear from a teacher at the front of a classroom. They can also point you in the direction of other audio resources for further practice and exposure to additional dialects. Such instruction can be invaluable to students preparing for higher-level courses where professors frequently lecture almost exclusively in Chinese.

Cleveland Chinese tutoring can also be adapted to your pace of learning. In a traditional classroom, your teacher is constrained by the confines of the school year. They have a set curriculum they need to cover, and they only have so much time in which they can cover it. They can't always afford to slow down and make sure that everyone is up to speed, and it's far less likely they'll speed up because one student is bored. Your Cleveland Chinese tutor can do that exactly, though. If you've already mastered a unit, they can skip ahead. If you're finding a unit more challenging than expected, additional time can be allocated to making sure you really understand it. These sessions are about you and your success.

Cleveland Chinese tutors can also craft lesson plans that provide substantive guidance. Working with the students, Cleveland Chinese tutors can set SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely) goals. Those goals, in turn, become a plan for studying, a tool for measuring progress, a reminder to celebrate victories, proof of how far you've come when you're feeling down, and inspiration to keep driving towards the next milestone. Not only can this serve as a great framework for your efforts in learning Chinese, but familiarizing yourself with the SMART approach can serve you well both in school and on the job later on down the road.

Mandarin Chinese Tutoring review by Kathleen in Cleveland, OH
The student wrote characters and sentences to practice for his dictation test. He did his homework and then practiced making questions and answers about the topics covered in his homework pages. He is making a lot of progress in creating his own sentences and writing characters using stroke order, and he feels like this has helped him do better in class.

Mandarin Chinese Tutoring review by Hua in Cleveland, OH
The student and I went through all the ''final review'' sheets given by her teacher. She wrote all the sentences in characters again, and she added pinyin on top of each character to make sure we get the pronunciation right. The coming final exam also has an oral part so we want to be fully prepared. While the student did all the writing and speaking, I wrote 3 sheets with all the words required for the final exam with pinyin and English meaning, so that if she forgets any word she can look it up in the sheets.

Mandarin Chinese Tutoring review by Hana in Cleveland, OH
This session was primarily a review of all the vocabulary words we had gone over. We reviewed by using the words in a conversation. He has improved since last time in both his listening and speaking abilities. We talked about having him introduce himself to me every time we meet as if I were a stranger so he can practice using the vocabulary words.

Mandarin Chinese Tutoring review by Ginger in Cleveland, OH
Student A and I practiced having a conversation without English cues. I also gave her a Chinese name. After that, I taught her directions like "up," "down," "left," and "right" by teaching her a Chinese dance. I taught Student B the same dance, and we also reviewed colors. We also played "Rock Paper Scissors" using Mandarin, and we practiced the phrases "I win" and "I lose."

We began by working on listening comprehension; I read a paragraph to the student in Mandarin and then had him answer some questions. Next we worked on his reading skills by going over the next dialogue in our textbook. After that we worked on a few grammar points and then conversed in Chinese.
