Greetings! My name is Frank, and since 2020, I have been passionately engaged in teaching Chinese through the italki platform. Alongside my teaching endeavors, I serve as the writer for both the Chairman's Bao and RealTime Mandarin. Furthermore, I possess over a decade of extensive experience in marketing, sales, and international purchasing.
My specialization lies in instructing students in general Chinese, business Chinese, and preparing them for the HSK tests. I find immense joy in connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds. italki has provided me with the opportunity to explore a world filled with exciting possibilities and enriching experiences.

Me as a Teacher
I don't rely heavily on textbooks when planning lessons. Instead, the textbook is used as a guide for students, and I write original stories to complement the material.
I offer you my best help to learn pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, colloquial Chinese, reading and writing. The most efficient way to learn a foreign language is to talk to the native speaker. I can use English or Spanish to explain Chinese expressions, grammar points and other complicated concepts to beginner if necessary.
My lessons & teaching style
In the class we focus on the things that will get you the best result to build speaking confidence. Every class will be challenging and fun to keep you motivated. You will be constantly encouraged to speak more when we have Chinese class.
I am looking forward to having class with you on ITALKI.

Frank has been the best teacher that I have encountered in the past few years. Very professional, speaks perfect English which is important to explain complex advanced terms and just a very dedicated teacher in general. Following the first class, I booked immediately another 20 classes with him.
For reference, I have already passed the HSK 6 exam and have been studying Chinese for over 5 years.

Frank is an excellent and well prepared teacher who is able to teach highly specialised an niche topics. He usually sends me a short vocabulary list in advance. In class, we discuss a topic in detail. I am very satisfied and will continue to take Frank's class.

Highly recommend working with Frank—he is an excellent and patient teacher who I have worked with for over a year. He has a really helpful approach to breaking down the structure of the language in a way that I can understand and keeps me motivated to keep going on my language learning journey!

Frank identified straight away where we needed to focus and delivered an exemplary lesson. I really felt I gained a tremendous amount out of our first session and came away greatly enlightened on pronunciation.
