A few of the teachers would like to have some Mandarin tutoring. It’s just 10-15 minutes a few times a week. They would like to practice their speaking and listening. These teachers are taking Mandarin lessons but we all know that in order to get better, they should practice! So teach them how to order food or to ask for directions! You could help them practice their numbers!

Some teachers would also like to learn how to use some apps like a pro. Taobao, Alipay, Hippo etc.
