Advert: my London mandarin teacher
A plug for my language teacher in London. I found her through my company.
I don't think there are a great deal of good mandarin teachers in London
yet. I was a pretty difficult pupil - no time to practice, tired, studying
on weekends, and very demanding. I had lessons with a couple of other
corporate language trainers, before settling finally on Katy.
Nice lady, very good teacher, good teaching materials. Able to be creative
and go with the flow. Good mix of vocab, storytelling and conversational
chit chat. Confident and relaxed, good english. Lives in Kent I think, or
somewhere a little far away, but travels in to teach.
She's taiwanese in origin if I recall correctly, and studied TCFL at the
renowned Beijing Language and Culture University BLCU or whatever it's
called. I paid something like 50 pounds an hour through her language
company, but I'd imagine you can get her direct for less - depending on how
many clients she has on of course.
Her name is Katy, her email address is fuyuhui@yahoo.com

Hello Shanghaimm
Yes... 50 quid an hour is a lot. It's far more than I earn in Shanghai also.
A caveat about the 50 pounds an hour - the teacher would not have got all of this money. My training was arranged through my company, who use a specialist language training company. The 50 pounds was paid to the agency. The teacher will get only some of this money.
Also, don't forget that your rent and taxes are much lower in Shanghai than they would be in London...
And that some people, like me, believe that even though one could make more money in the UK, being in China is the best place in the world to live and to develop my career.
So don't feel so bad!
Thanks for your comment.
