About Samantha
I am a graduate, and I have been tutoring in some form or another for the past two years. In September 2016 I went to live in Hangzhou, China, where I tutored some of my classmates in English. In early 2017 I volunteered at a school called English Alive, where my role was teaching 2-11-year-olds English. From 2017-2018 I would help classmates with understanding Chinese grammar, as well as revising vocabulary and practising speaking.

I provide Mandarin lessons up to a GCSE level (HSK 3 approximately). This is primarily due to the fact that students can maintain a conversation at this level, and if they so wished they could then be prepared for the HSK 3 exam which would provide them with a scholarship to study at some of the top universities in China.
My teaching style is fairly flexible, so as to cater to the needs of the student. Before classes start I like to make sure I know what my student expects, what their goals are, and how frequently they want classes to be held. This way I can make sure I am providing the best service possible.
Preferably I would want to spend an hour on each skillset: one on listening, one on speaking, one on reading and one on writing. Two 2-hour long classes a week would be ideal. However, if this is not possible I can provide my student with resources for them to use in their free time, and I will strive to be available via text or email if they have any queries.
Recommendations

I have known Samantha since September 2014 when she joined the University of Central Lancashire. I have been her Course Leader on her degree programme as well as teaching a number of the modules that she studied and supervising her dissertation. Samantha has always been an active and positive contributor in both class as well as wider university life. She is popular and well liked among fellow students and lecturers as a result of her positive attitude to her work and life in general.
Samantha is academically bright and benefits from being a willing learner who engages with constructive feedback to constantly seek to improve her work. Although final grades will not be known for a few weeks, I fully expect her to graduate with at least an Upper Second. Her ability to listen is as equally impressive as her ability to communicate ideas and information in a comprehensible and engaging manner. I am certain that her combination of strong intellect, impressive cultural awareness and hardworking attitude will serve her well in postgraduate study.View more recommendations
