My Mandarin is very poor, and now time to do something about it. So I am looking for an experienced Chinese teacher who is creative and likes to have fun. I will of course pay the normal rate, and - this is not a language exchange. I have the books and they are in Pinyin - so I don’t want to take the time to learn the Characters either! Please let me know if you are interested. I live in Taipei. Thanks. 
What books do you have? I can’t teach you… I’m looking for some good course books
go to tli - you get an experienced private tutor for 380 an hour

I may be of some help if you want to learn online.
You can sit comfortably on your couch, with a cup of coffee at hand and learn Chinese at ease, as is just what my American student has done now. Yesterday, I just taught an American Chinese for two hours online. We both had a wonderful experience. We have used a web camera and a headphone. The pictures are clear and even better than live in person as we can adjust the camera to see clearly instead of moving our chairs. The sounds are loud and clear. The teaching is amazing.
