My lessons are friendly, supportive, and tailored to each student’s goals and learning style. I mainly focus on practical communication, helping students build confidence in speaking and understanding natural Mandarin in real-life situations.

I have an academic background in Chinese Language and Literature (teacher training), as well as Master’s degrees in TESOL and Intercultural Communication from the UK. This helps me explain language points clearly and understand the challenges learners from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds may face.

Depending on your goals, lessons can include conversation practice, pronunciation, vocabulary building, grammar support, reading practice, or cultural topics. I’m happy to work with complete beginners as well as learners who already have some foundation in Mandarin.

I aim to create a relaxed learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and improving step by step.
