I am Raymond Chen, a Chinese language instructor teaching in Manhattan. For years, I have been pairing up my American students with Chinese partners. I found this a very effective way for the both ends to make amazing progress since the place, time, method, book and frequency are all flexible.
As a plus, the rate is much lower than the regular class ($200/year = $3.85/hour study fee, supposing you do one time of exchange per week, one hour of English per exchange; actually you are suggested to do at least two times per week). This makes more sense in this recessive time. Also, you attend a 20-people class, you only have 2 minutes to open your mouth. But by one-on-one exchange, you’ll have 50% of time to practice based on your individual need.
Since participants from both sides are flushing in, I have begun to run it as a club. Currently, we need more native English speakers living in NYC to pair up with our Chinese members. Request: 1, native English speakers; 2, have real and strong willingness to learn Chinese; 3, bear no unlawful intentions to utilize the exchange relationship.
Besides one on one exchange, we also have group meetings, which means we will gather more than one couple together and let them exchange their partners freely or do group talking. By that, we will set up more real language atmosphere.
We also encourage partners to invite each other to experience cultures, for example, you can invite your partner to join your holiday celebrations, and he/she can invite you to go to his/her family for Chinese food and activities on Chinese weddings, etc.
Please e-mail me ASAP if you want to join.
When you e-mail me, kindly attach your resume with your recent photo. If you have no CV, please send me your self-introduction with: 1. Your phone number; 2. Your available time for the exchange in the week.
Thank you for reading.
