Beginner Chinese Speaking Lessons -- 2

Budget: $10 - $15

I am starting from scratch with Mandarin and would like to build solid speaking and listening skills first, leaving reading, writing and formal grammar for later. There is no hard deadline on my end; consistency and clear progress matter more than speed. What I need is a patient teacher who can structure lessons around everyday conversation, correct my tones in real time, and gradually introduce situational vocabulary so I can feel confident ordering food, asking for directions, or having a casual chat. If you already have a proven methodology, online materials, or interactive exercises that keep beginners engaged, let me know. Otherwise I’m happy to follow your lead on textbooks, apps, or recorded dialogues. Please outline how you would organise the first few sessions, the tools you like to use (Zoom, Skype, WeChat, shared whiteboards, etc.), and any homework or practice you normally assign between classes. I’m not much flexible with scheduling but can adapt to your availability as long as we meet regularly. Looking for at least 1 hour and half so can go through different topics during the class
