My husband and I are seeking a Mandarin tutor who is a native speaker,
has teaching experience, is also fluent in English and is preferably
from the Beijing or northern China area. We have been taking private
Mandarin lessons for two years and are at a low intermediate level,
but our teacher recently moved out of town. We would like to have
lessons one or two nights a week from 7pm-8:30pm. The days may vary
according to our schedules. We usually have the lesson at a
restaurant in Manhattan or at our home in Battery Park City, and eat
dinner during the lesson. While we are eating we would like for the
teacher to talk to us about cultural aspects of China, and the rest of
the time work on vocabulary, conversation, pinyin and characters. If
you have experience with children, we may also be interested in
lessons for our two little boys, ages 1.5 and 3, who already speak
some Mandarin. If interested, please contact Julie at
