Native English or violin coaching for free professional Mandarin exchange, swimming coaching, roller skating coaching, chess coaching, painting(chinese traditional painting, opaque watercolour painting)

Pls forgive but I have no discrimination by highlighting Native, as I really need someone help in pronunciation. I have no issue in ordinary talking as being a marketing here for several years. But I don't want to follow the local accent.

Hi,I am Chinese, 29/F.Currently I am working as a marketing professional covering whole South Asia Pacific business. I am preparing GMAT.Previously, I have years of experience in teaching Mandarin to foreigners. Would like to have native English speaker who can

1. correct my English pronunciation and accent
2. help me to get the point across articulately
3. Improve my english presentation skills

In return, I will help you with standard Mandarin(no southern part accent, as I am originally from Northern part of China. Note: Mandarin is also the language from Northern part of China)

It would be perfect if you have gone through MBA or you are working in business ,especially consulting and do lots of presentations.

BTW,I had learnt how to play violin for about half a year ,few years ago(proximately already more than 5 years)I want to pick it up now. If you can help with it, I will appreciate.

Pls only contact if you are serious abt Language exchange., you can leave your email here.Tks

Hello!!

I am a 28yr female - British Born Chinese, arrived in SG on Sunday from Manchester, UK!

I taught English to University students in Guangdong province last year so I am happy to help where I can with your oral English - I have also worked professionally in the UK since university and born/grew up there so I am a native speaker.
I am very keen to learn Mandarin, I did try whilst I was in China last year but it proved incredibly difficult and being in southern China, it would be great to learn from a northener.

Open to meeting new people to hang out or explore the city as I havent had a chance to venture much yet!
I like most things: food, travelling, shopping, music, activities (altho admittdly ts been too long since I've been in a gym!) and happy to meet for casual coffee/dinner.
