Advert description
As a native Mandarin speaker from Shanghai and now living in the UK, I bring both authentic language and a real understanding of what it's like to learn across cultures. Having adapted to life and study in another language myself, I know first-hand where learners get stuck and how to make an unfamiliar language feel approachable. I've also previously tutored a student through their entrance exams, so I'm used to breaking difficult material into clear, manageable steps.
I start by understanding your goals and current level, then build a plan around them — whether that's pronunciation and tones, everyday conversation, character reading and writing, or HSK preparation. Lessons are interactive: you'll speak from the very first session, with plenty of gentle correction and encouragement rather than pressure. I'll share real cultural context too, so the language feels natural rather than just memorised.
Between sessions I can set light, practical tasks so your progress carries over. Above all, I keep things patient, friendly, and paced to suit you.
