About Me

italki teacher since Apr 14, 2020

Hi, my name is Zhentan. I was born and raised in Beijing. I'm currently working as an English teacher. I enjoy doing sports such as badminton, martial art, and rally racing, I also love music, movies.

Me as a Teacher

I took part in the CELTA training and acquired the certificate after obtaining my degree. I will do my best to help you on your path of English learning, and I believe we can make quick progress, as my CELTA tutors assessed: I'm a patient teacher who would make my students comfortable during the lesson, I'm able to respond to the feedback and improve my lessons and teaching skills, and most importantly, I am motivated.

My lessons & teaching style

I appreciate the atmosphere of a communicative and student-centered approach. Instead of just teaching the knowledge, I would attempt to involve learners in the process of discovering the language, as I think this is a better approach to enable learners to remember and understand the knowledge. I would also design proper lessons according to the different needs of learners. I can help you to practice your reading, listening, and speaking abilities. I can prepare casual lessons as well as more structured lessons, as the way you like it.

I am thrilled to continue learning English with Zhentan. First of all, I like his teaching. He will prepare pictures, articles and Q & A etc. to stimulate your enthusiasm for speaking English. Secondly, he is extremely patient. He will listen to your feedback of courses and adjust the way of class in time. I highly recommend you to take his class. Thanks!

He was okay. However, he was not really prepared for the lesson with me. I sent him the material, then I asked him if we could do some Pinyin practice but he did not really have anything laying around. He ended up finding something on his computer when I specifically asked him again if he had something that I could practice with. Then whew I asked him a few questions regarding “asking questions in Chinese”, he kinda rolled his eyes and said “Oh, this is hard. My head is spinning” or something like that, I don’t remember exactly what he said. His English is great. I’m sure he’s a nice teacher but, unfortunately, we did not click.
