Co-Director of Teaching Lu Ping, Master of TCFL

Lu Ping

Lu Ping, Master of TCFL, engaged in TCFL since the graduation in 2006. From the initial teaching of the 20-people big class in international education school of Zhejiang university to the later 3/4-people small class teaching and the one-to-one private teaching, the students of Lu Ping come from more than 30 countries. And the number of the students amounts to above 400. These students' Chinese range from complete zero basis to advanced level, the learning purposes are also various. Some hope to improve listening and speaking skills, some hope to improve the reading and writing skills, others require to have the pre-HSK breakthrough-type training.

It is this teaching experience that helps Lu Ping accumulate rich teaching experience. In the teaching practice, in view of the different situations of the students, Lu Ping summarizes out a lot of unique and effective teaching methods, which often lets the students experience the sudden enlightenment in the learning process and enables the Chinese learning to become practical and effective.

After years of large classes, small classes and one-to-one teaching, Lu Ping thinks that one single teaching approach can’t have a good use in all the courses, and thus proposes that Mandarin Capital Hangzhou center should abandon the big class teaching, carry out the research and development of the targeted small classes and one-to-one teaching method, so as to make Hangzhou center to become the most foreigners-favorite teaching center in Hangzhou. Mandarin Capital has also become the only domestic institute that takes different classes settings and teaching modes in different campuses.

At present, Lu Ping is mainly engaged in the pre-service training of the teachers and supervision of every student's learning in Mandarin Capital. He supervises the teaching quality of the classroom teachers mainly through the communication with students and the testing of the student's Chinese language level.
