Why I teach

I began sharing Mandarin with international friends who were curious about the language. At first, I simply answered their questions and explained the parts they found confusing.

They told me that these explanations helped them understand what they were learning and how to use it. That experience encouraged me to begin teaching Mandarin more seriously.

What I
noticed

Many learners are already motivated and studying on their own. What often slows them down is not a lack of effort, but a lack of clear feedback.

What you can expect
from me

Clear explanations

I explain why something works, not only whether it is right or wrong.

Lessons built around you

You choose the goal, and we adjust the focus as your needs change.

Feedback you can use

You leave knowing what to say, what to improve, and what to practise next.
