I sat in on a trial session with Wenlong C and had a fantastic experience. Wenlong C balanced speaking practice and explanation really well. Highly recommend booking a class.

Tutor Bio
Hello!
My name is Wenlong, and I am from China. I currently live in Kunming. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Shenyang in 2010 and worked as an engineer until 2019. Since 2011, I have been learning English from my foreign friends and colleagues while teaching them Chinese in return. Over time, I discovered that I enjoy teaching Chinese much more, and it became my true passion. In 2019, I decided to become a full-time Chinese teacher. I am now a certified teacher of Chinese as a foreign language.
In my free time, I enjoy jogging, swimming, biking, playing computer games, listening to music, and reading. I am also learning German as my third language.
I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm for the Chinese language with you and helping you speak it fluently. Most importantly, I hope you enjoy and have fun throughout the process of learning this beautiful language.

What is your favorite word in your language and why?
My favorite phrase in my language is “不用担心,” which means “don’t worry.” I like it because it’s simple but very comforting. It reminds me to stay calm and not stress too much about problems.
-
What is your favorite dish from your hometown? If you no longer live there is there a good local restaurant that serves it?
I don’t have just one favorite dish from my hometown—I love a lot of them, haha. I really like cooking and I cook every day. These days, if I want to try a tasty dish that I don’t know how to make, I just watch a video online and learn to cook it myself.

Besides the languages you teach, do you speak or study any other languages?
I speak English and can communicate fluently. I also speak German at a B1 level, and I spend time every day learning and practicing it.

What are your interests outside of teaching at Strommen?
I enjoy running. I’ve loved sports since I was a child, and running is the easiest one to do. I really enjoy the feeling of moving freely. I also like playing soccer, but these days I mostly watch it instead. I follow the Premier League, the Champions League, and La Liga, the Spanish football league. I also enjoy snowboarding, but since I live in a place without much snow, I can’t snowboard in winter now. Another big interest of mine is reading. I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction, and whenever I face challenges, I often turn to books to find answers.

What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?
My hometown is Xinyang, a city in Henan Province, China. I love Xinyang because it is famous for its beautiful mountains, fresh air, and delicious green tea. The city has a slower pace of life compared to big cities, and people are very warm and friendly. It feels peaceful and comfortable, and it always gives me a sense of belonging.
