My lessons are structured, supportive, and tailored to each student’s individual goals. I work primarily with teenagers and adults, including beginners who want to build a strong foundation and more advanced learners who wish to improve pronunciation, clarity, and confidence in Mandarin.
A typical lesson begins with a short warm-up or review to establish focus and identify any technical or language-related challenges. From there, we work on Mandarin pronunciation, tone accuracy, and clear diction, often using practical exercises that help students understand how sounds are formed. For students interested in Chinese songs, I combine language guidance with healthy vocal technique, helping them sing with accurate pronunciation while avoiding vocal tension.
I place strong emphasis on clear explanation and step-by-step guidance. Rather than asking students to simply repeat or imitate, I explain why a sound works and how to produce it correctly. This approach helps students practise more effectively between lessons and make consistent progress over time.
My teaching experience spans over six years, and I have worked with learners from different backgrounds and levels. As a graduate of Beijing Normal University and a current postgraduate student in the UK, I bring both solid academic training and practical teaching experience into my lessons.
Lessons are calm, focused, and goal-oriented. I aim to create a learning environment where students feel confident, supported, and motivated, while always maintaining high standards. Whether your goal is to improve spoken Mandarin, sing Chinese songs with clear diction, or develop long-term vocal and language skills, lessons are designed to help you progress in a healthy and sustainable way.
I offer online lessons as well as in-person lessons in Glasgow.
