Mandarin Chinese 4 Tutoring FAQ
To make it all the way to Mandarin Chinese 4, students must first gain mastery of vocabulary, grammatical structures, translation, conversation, and cultural knowledge. However, success in Mandarin Chinese 4 demands that students have not only used this knowledge previously, but that they also retain it and keep it ready at their disposal, even while being challenged to continually augment their skills. Because it stresses a reliance on old content as well as an introduction to new concepts, Mandarin Chinese 4 can pose problems even for students who were successful in their previous language studies.
Given the wide range of material that has been covered by this point, it is likely that a few misunderstandings or weak areas in your comprehension of previous material have developed over time. Mandarin Chinese 4 courses, however, are not designed to be review courses, and it may be difficult to find assistance that targets your weak areas without wasting your time reviewing material you already understand.
Varsity Tutors can help you connect with just such personalized assistance through private Mandarin Chinese 4 tutoring. Whether you struggle with remembering how to write traditional Chinese characters for vocabulary terms you learned years ago, or with making sense of certain idiosyncrasies in the language's grammatical structure, an experienced instructor can help you shore up your previous knowledge and guide you through the new material presented in your class.
This tutoring experience sets itself apart through its unparalleled level of personalization. Your tutor custom tailors your tutoring experience to your specific concerns and educational needs. While every Mandarin Chinese tutor is highly qualified, our directors can help you select the tutor whose skill set and experience best prepares him or her to assist you specifically. Your tutor can then take stock of your current Mandarin Chinese abilities to identify any knowledge gaps or weak points. They can also utilize your strengths to help mitigate any weaknesses you may have. With your input and guidance, he or she can then design a customized curriculum that focuses on the material you struggle with most.
This can be difficult to achieve in a classroom setting, because your teacher likely doesn't have enough time to focus on individual students. They are not likely to slow down or speed up the class based on your personal needs, so if you get lost and fall behind, it can be almost impossible to catch back up. Private tutoring can help with this because it allows you to move at a pace that works best for you. Because all sessions are one-on-one and focus only on the content that can make the most difference to your individual understanding of the subject, Mandarin Chinese tutoring can be extremely efficient and effective.
If you are preparing for placement exams, standardized tests, midterms, or finals, your tutor can adjust your curriculum as needed to meet those needs and help you prepare for the particular test you will face. Having reached this advanced level of Mandarin Chinese language studies, do not let yourself falter because of unwitting misunderstandings or from feeling overwhelmed by all of the material you are expected to master. Instead, contact Varsity Tutors educational directors today to learn more about the Mandarin Chinese 4 tutoring options available near you. You can soon start working with a talented personal instructor.
Varsity Tutors also offers flexibility and convenience. Our live learning platform enables you to meet your private tutor either in person or face-to-face online. This gives you the freedom to pick a time and location that works best for you.

Recent Mandarin Chinese 4 Tutoring Session Notes
我们discussed a portion of the assessment the student had taken before our session. We reviewed and practiced fundamental verbs and grammar usage visually and orally. He seems to grasp the material but needs to work on fluency and putting concepts together.
Today we worked on her essay on pandas. We also worked on two slightly more difficult texts, and the student was able to make out the basic meanings and do the true and false sections correctly. We also reviewed her language notes.
In our session, the student took a little test on the vocabulary from the last meeting, he did a wonderful job on listening and reading comprehension of the test level 1. He is a really gifted student, I truly enjoyed working with him. I wish him all the best in the future.
She is working on a final project for her Chinese studies. We went over the main sections of a poster she is designing for the project and specifically created a template for her to use in the future. Detailed sections include checking Chinese websites, and our first session also includes improving on pronunciation and grammar and vocabularies using an online Chinese website I recommended.
The student studied for his dictation test and almost finished his workbook pages. He was able to do the work by himself with reminders to focus. This week's dictation characters were very complicated, so I made tracing sheets for the student to help him learn to write them. He wrote all his characters and sentences very neatly today.
我们reviewed the question sentence structure such as "xiang bu xiang?", "ke bu ke yi?" We also worked on "na li", the "where" question sentence. "Zhe", "Na" (singular) and "Zhe Xie" "Na Xie"(plural) were introduced.
