My Mandarin lessons are designed to be engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student’s goals, whether you are a complete beginner, a school-age learner, or an adult looking to improve your communication skills. I use a flexible format that combines conversation practice, vocabulary building, reading and writing, and cultural insight. For children, lessons often include stories, games, songs, and visual activities to make learning fun and memorable. For adults, I create structured sessions focused on practical, real-life language use, pronunciation, and confidence in speaking.

Each lesson begins with a warm-up to reinforce previous learning, followed by new content introduced through interactive methods. I adapt the pace and style to individual learning preferences, ensuring every student feels encouraged and supported. My approach is patient, communicative, and always centred on helping students enjoy the process of learning Mandarin.

I am a native Mandarin speaker with many years of experience teaching children and adults in both school and private settings, including KS1 and KS2 classes, beginners, and advanced learners. Having lived in four countries and speaking English, Japanese, and Spanish, I bring a multicultural perspective that enriches every lesson. My aim is to help each student build confidence, curiosity, and a strong foundation in Mandarin.
