A Chinese language instructor at a U.S. university with over ten years of teaching experience. Hello! I'm Leon from Taiwan and currently work as a Chinese language lecturer at a university in the United States. With over 10 years of teaching experience, I specialize in both Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese (Taigi). My goal is to help students develop practical communication skills while gaining a deeper understanding of Chinese and Taiwanese culture. I teach students of all levels and tailor every lesson to your goals, learning style, and pace. My classes are clear, interactive, and focused on real-life communication, making learning both effective and enjoyable. Whether you're interested in Chinese or Taiwanese culture, food, travel, or want to communicate with family and friends in Mandarin or Taigi, I'll help you achieve your goals. I also teach both Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters, as well as Zhuyin (ㄅㄆㄇㄈ) and Pinyin. Differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, and language use between Taiwan and Mainland China are naturally incorporated into my lessons. Whether your goal is conversation, daily communication, or a deeper understanding of Chinese-speaking cultures, I'll create a personalized learning plan that fits your needs. I look forward to helping you build confidence and enjoy every step of your Chinese learning journey!

So individualized and personal each time! Leon really prepares and does his research for our sessions to target exactly the things I need, plus more that he anticipates before I even know myself! Cannot recommend him enough!

Leon is a great and knowledgeable teacher. He encourages speaking on a wide range of topics. I feel my mandarin improved a lot with his classes. He is very diligent in following up with detailed notes of the session. Would highly recommend whatever your Mandarin level
