Most of my students couldn't speak Chinese at the beginning, but now they can chat, type, watch videos, read news, books, and even write an article in Chinese.

I’m a professional book editor and the author of 3 literary books. I’ve interviewed CEOs from nearly 30 companies, written brand press releases and executive speeches for companies. Basically, my whole career revolves around Chinese: I teach it, revise it, write it, and I totally get how to handle business Chinese too. 3. I enjoy reading, writing, hiking, and exploring delicious food. I also love traveling and am skilled at planning trips—I've visited most major cities in China. If you share my interests in travel, food and hope to visit China one day, I would be a great guide and friend to you. ✨ If you are ready, book a lesson now, and I’ll see you in class!❤️

Speak Natural Mandarin Through Stories & Real-Life Conversation (Intermediate) What sets my teaching apart is a calm, low-pressure environment where speaking feels safe and natural. I believe language learning works best when it’s enjoyable, meaningful, and connected to real life. In our lessons, we may use short stories, pictures, comics, lyrics, or video clips - always based on your interests. The goal is not to “perform perfectly,” but to practice expressing real ideas in real Mandarin. As a language learner myself, I understand the ups and downs of the process. You don’t need to overthink or prepare heavily. We focus on steady, natural progress through relaxed and consistent practice!

Mandarin Teacher for Kids and Adults with 6 Years Teaching Experience Your Chinese Teacher for Real Listening and Speaking with 6 Years of Teaching Experience I’m from China and hold a Master’s degree in English Interpretation. That means I don’t just “teach Chinese”—I help you switch from English thinking to Chinese thinking, so the language finally starts to make sense in your head. Here’s the part I really care about: listening and speaking are the hardest skills​ in any language. You can know the words, but still freeze when someone talks fast—or feel afraid to open your mouth. My lessons are built exactly for that. Also my classroom is patient, relaxed, and mistake-friendly—progress comes faster when you’re not scared. Over the past 6 years, I’ve taught hundreds of students—kids, teens, and adults—from total beginners to HSK learners and professionals. 🎯 What we focus on in class ✅ Listening first, then speaking​ — train your ear with real-life Chinese, then turn what you hear into your own sentences ✅ Everyday confidence​ — ordering food, travel, making friends, work small talk, your hobbies ✅ Chinese thinking, not word-by-word translation​ — thanks to my interpretation training ✅ Smart shortcuts​ — tones, characters, sentence patterns made easier ✅ Culture + slang + modern China​ — so you sound natural, not textbook ✅ Your pace, your goals​ — travel? career? HSK? chatting with friends? I tailor it for you

    Liu Laoshi has been absolutely wonderful with my daughter! Her lessons are dynamic and engaging—combining songs, interactive materials, and structured grammar. I love that she consistently provides homework and a detailed review after every session to reinforce what was taught. Her thoughtful approach has made learning the language both fun and effective, and we couldn’t be happier!

  • Skylar

    Learning Chinese (Mandarin)

    Teacher YangYang is amazing! Like many heritage- and heritage-adjacent Chinese speakers, I have been speaking Chinese since I was young, but have long struggled with feeling like my language was stuck at a child’s level and register. Due to life changes, I have recently been motivated to clean up my Chinese, and study for the HSK 7-9 exam. 秧秧老师 is experienced at teaching advanced Chinese, and is very familiar with the requirements at the HSK 7-9 level. Through her instruction, I finally feel empowered to speak and write Chinese with grown-up vocabulary and formal register. She provides highly detailed feedback, targeted assignments, and approaches teaching with resourcefulness and creativity: our study materials have ranged from podcasts about modern culture to The Analects. Thanks to 秧秧老师’s guidance, I am better prepared for my exam, but more importantly, feeling more confident and inspired about my Chinese than ever. I cannot recommend her enough. 谢谢老师!

    It has been 3 weeks since I’ve started learning Mandarin with Pei in anticipation for my trip to Taiwan. I truly could not have chosen a better teacher! Pei is extremely kind, encouraging, and patient! After gauging my level and discussing my goals during the trial lesson, she was able to immediately provide me with the perfect learning plan based on my needs; and it has been going flawlessly! I am progressing quickly, and feel that I have built up the confidence I’ll need to communicate with ease during my trip. One thing I love about Pei’s lessons is how immersive they are. She always encourages me to use Mandarin wherever possible, even if I happen to say something in passing that’s unrelated to the lesson. That way, the language rolls off my tongue more naturally. She also teaches me everyday vocab & phrases used in Taiwan that aren’t found in textbooks, which I love! I can't recommend Pei enough!

    I have taken lessons with Grace for about a year, as I progressed from HSK3 to HSK6+. She is incredibly high-energy and enthusiastic, yet simultaneously corrects and jots down new vocabulary at a speed and accuracy I can only assume comes from her legal background. Grace has sharp insights on the structure of society and everyday existence in both China and France. She will cite both a Buddhist master and Diogenes in the span of one lesson.

  • Erika S

    My daughter is at a primary school in Singapore. Her school Chinese teacher often scolded her, and she came to dislike Chinese itself. Anna 老师encouraged her so much and gave her practical study tips, and they practised the oral exam and compositions together. In her composition test, she remembered what Anna 老师 had told her. She is much more positive about Chinese now. I highly recommend this teacher to any child who has lost confidence in Chinese.

  • Thu Luong

    In the beginning I trialled a few other teachers but stuck to Catherine because I found her lessons the best. I have been learning with Catherine for 6 months and have found her lessons to be engaging and very helpful. She can vary the lessons according to my needs. Initially I was travelling to China, so we did travel related lessons but now I want to improve my conversational skills, so she further adapted the lesson. She sends notes and homework after each lesson which helps me stay disciplined. I highly recommend Catherine as a tutor. Jiāyóu!

    I've been studying Mandarin Chinese at the beginner from Maggie for a few months now, and I like the approach she takes. She gives instruction just in Chinese as much as possible, using objects around us and word sheets she's made as chances to introduce vocabulary. She's also willing to explain usage patterns (e.g. grammar, word choice), again in Chinese as much as possible with written examples. Today I managed to describe my weekend to her in Chinese. It took some back and forth, but she used every difficulty as a chance to teach something new.

    Recently my schedule has been packed and work keeps me extremely busy, yet just thinking about my Chinese lessons fills me with joy! I feel so, so lucky to have found Jianxin, a truly one-of-a-kind Chinese teacher! For someone like me who tends to bury himself in work, learning Chinese has never felt like a task or a burden. On the contrary, it's become my little escape — a quiet, joyful pause in the middle of a hectic life. I honestly believe that only Jianxin could make learning a language feel this light and magical. In class, her boundless energy and wholehearted dedication to teaching have deeply inspired me, and little by little, they've changed the way I think about learning. For me, studying Chinese isn’t a short-term goal — it’s a journey I want to pursue long-term. Every lesson gives me more than language skills; I soak up her passion and energy, leaving class excited for what’s ahead. I have the deepest admiration for Jianxin — she's truly special!

    Jan ist der perfekte Lehrer. Immer pünktlich, die Ruhe in Person und er kann gut mit meiner tiefen Frustschwelle umgehen. Der Unterricht ist immer ein guter Mix aus kleinen Dialogen, Besprechung von Fragen und Vokabular, Aussprachetraining, Einheiten aus Lehrmitteln und freien Themen. Sein Deutsch ist wirklich ausserordentlich gut, so kann ich auch mal erklären, was ich eigentlich sagen wollte, wenn ein von mir zusammengebastelter Satz mal unverständlich ist. Meine Syntax ist teilweise an den Haaren herbeigezogen und er checkt trotzdem was ich sagen wollte. Beim Fremdsprachen lernen habe ich eine recht hohe Hemmschwelle einfach zu sprechen und sätze auszuprobieren. Bei Jan habe ich das mittlerweile verloren und kann hemmungslos üben. Ich kann Jan nur wärmstens empfehlen: immer höflich, nett, aufmerksam, kompetent und motivierend. Sein Unterricht strukturiert, lehrreich und interessant.

    As a Vietnamese speaker who speaks both English and Vietnamese, I also appreciate that Jenny is fluent in both languages. She can explain Chinese concepts clearly in either English or Vietnamese, which is especially helpful when I have difficulty understanding a particular grammar point or expression. Her ability to explain Chinese from both language perspectives makes learning much easier and more effective. She provides well-structured and easy-to-follow learning materials, which makes it much easier to review and understand each lesson. What I especially appreciate is her ability to understand the challenges I face as a Vietnamese speaker learning Chinese. She recognizes that certain Chinese sounds, grammar structures, and sentence patterns can be confusing from a Vietnamese learner’s perspective. Overall, she is a patient, supportive, and knowledgeable teacher. Her structured approach and clear explanations have helped me build a stronger foundation in Chinese.
