Communication
I’m not just a Language Trainer, I’m also a professional Translator, Interpreter and Cross-cultural Consultant with the expertise to deliver fast results consistently. Mandarin is the second most spoken language in the world, and the importance of familiarising oneself with basic dialogue and customary behaviours is forever increasing when establishing business relationships. The one-on-one sessions I provide are not limited to your current level or age, as they are tailored to suit your individual needs, from basic guidance to advanced training. I will develop a curriculum plan most fitting for your needs, whether business or travel-related, a school subject, or even HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test), to enhance your language skills straightforwardly and enjoyably.
Test Preparation
Australians preparing to relocate to China for academic, professional, or select personal purposes will likely need an HSK certificate, indicative of their Mandarin language proficiency skills. Similarly, Taiwan may have TOCFL requirements, which focuses on traditional written language rather than simplified Mandarin. Before you pack up and leave Australia for a Chinese-speaking nation of your choice, allow me to ensure your HSK or TOCFL target within a matter of months. Even if language proficiency requirements don’t apply to you, demonstrating a HSK score above 4 drastically increases your employability in China and can yield you a much higher salary.
Translation
You may have come across questionable menu descriptions or subtitles that are utterly senseless, and although a lack of language proficiency is often to blame, so too are the auto-translators that hundreds of millions of people rely on every day from Google, Apple, Papago, etc. Auto-translators are often incapable of grammatical accuracy at the best of times, but what they fall short of most is understanding context, idiomatic language, and localisation. Your business documents, immigration application, personal statement, subtitles, website or marketing content, etc., will be rigorously translated between Simplified or Traditional Mandarin and English, with redundancies removed to achieve the utmost accuracy for your request, enabling you to succeed in your endeavours efficiently.
