My lessons are interactive, supportive and tailored to each student’s level and goals. I aim to make learning Mandarin practical, engaging and easy to follow, whether you are a complete beginner or looking to improve your existing skills.

Each lesson can include a mix of speaking practice, vocabulary building, pronunciation, grammar and listening comprehension. For beginners, we can focus on essential phrases, tones and everyday conversations. For more advanced learners, we can work on fluency, more natural expressions, reading and writing, or exam preparation based on your needs.

I encourage students to practise actively rather than simply memorise words. We can use real-life situations, example sentences, conversations and visual materials to make new concepts easier to understand. I also welcome questions and adjust the pace depending on what each student finds challenging.

As a native Mandarin speaker who studied Cambridge International A-level Chinese and graduated from the University of Edinburgh, I can offer both practical language support and insight into learning Chinese in an English-speaking educational environment.

Lessons take place online, with a flexible and friendly approach. My goal is to help you build confidence, make steady progress and enjoy learning Mandarin at your own pace.

I can also adapt lessons to your personal interests and learning priorities, helping you use Mandarin in situations that matter to you. Whether you want to communicate with Chinese speakers, improve your school results or explore Chinese culture, we will work together towards clear and achievable goals.
