About Me

Greetings! I’m Chenxi Zheng, a native Chinese speaker passionate about bridging language learning with gaming and sports. With 2 years of experience in gamified education, I specialize in teaching Mandarin through FPS games (e.g., CS:GO, Valorant) and basketball, while sharing fascinating cultural insights to make lessons engaging and immersive.
Teaching Philosophy:
My approach revolves around “Learn by Doing”. As a Chinese native, I design lessons that blend practical language skills with real-world scenarios. For example:
FPS Tactics: Students practice commands like “掩护我!” (Cover me!) or “小心手雷!” (Watch out for the grenade!) during matches, improving reflexes and vocabulary simultaneously.
Basketball Culture: Beyond drills, I explain idioms like “灌篮高手” (basketball prodigy) or slang from Chinese basketball leagues, linking sports to daily life.
Cultural Nuggets: I weave in fun facts about Chinese gaming communities, esport history, or basketball traditions, such as the “CBA 全明星周末”, to deepen cultural understanding.
Course Structure:
Duration: 20–40 minute sessions (high engagement, low fatigue).
Levels: Intermediate/Advanced/Conversational (CEFR B1–C1 equivalent).
Age Range: 15+ (teens and adults).

My teaching style

Immersive, interactive, and results-driven. I blend real-time gaming/sports scenarios with structured language drills to create a dynamic learning environment. My approach emphasizes “learning through action” – students practice vocabulary, grammar, and cultural nuances while strategizing in FPS matches or analyzing basketball plays. Expect lively discussions, competitive challenges, and personalized feedback tailored to your goals (e.g., gaming slang, sports terminology, or conversational fluency).
