Hello! I'm Tina, a native Mandarin speaker and a certified Chinese language teacher.

Are you looking to learn Mandarin but unsure where to start? Or does your child need a patient, experienced tutor to help with schoolwork? I'm here to guide you on a clear and enjoyable path to fluency.

With over 8 years of teaching experience and a formal Teacher’s Certificate from China, I have helped more than 200 students—from young beginners to busy adults—achieve their language goals. I understand the challenges learners face and tailor each lesson to your unique pace and objectives.

What I Can Offer:

For Children (Ages 6–18): Whether your child is a beginner or needs help with school curriculum, I focus on building strong skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. I make learning fun with engaging activities and provide expert support for school homework.
For Young Beginners (Ages 3–9): I use a playful, interactive approach featuring songs, games, and visual aids to gently introduce Pinyin, simple characters, and basic conversation. My goal is to spark a lifelong love for the language.
For Adults: From conversational and business Chinese to intensive HSK exam preparation, I design courses around your professional or personal needs. We'll focus on practical skills you can use immediately.
Flexible Learning: I offer personalized one-on-one lessons, either online or in-person, to fit your schedule. Let's discuss your goals and create a learning plan just for you.

A little about me: I'm a native Mandarin speaker and a graduate of Chaohu Teacher’s University in China. I have lived in the U.S. for over 9 years, which gives me a deep understanding of both cultures and helps me bridge the learning gap effectively.

Highly Knowledgeable, friendly, flexible tutor!

Cong taught me so much Chinese while meeting with her. I think she is a highly knowledgeable and patient tutor who can meet the needs of anyone who desires to improve their Mandarin skills. I highly recommend her!

A Friendly and Knowledgeable Language Guide

I've really enjoyed learning with Cong T. — the classes are professional, well-structured, and thoughtfully paced. Cong takes the time to clearly explain grammar, vocabulary, and Chinese characters, which has really helped me understand the language more deeply. She's also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making each lesson both engaging and productive. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Mandarin skills!

Great teacher for my 14 year old son!

My 14 year old son started learning Mandarin from Cong as a complete beginner. She is patient and great at explaining things to him. Despite the language being hard to learn, he always leaves the lesson feeling like he learned a lot.

Knowledgeable and Flexible Tutor

She take the time to learn where you are and tailors the Chinese lesson to your growth areas while still making sure you’re confident in the places you know or already learned. Excited relearn Chinese with her.

Expert tutor and very motivating

I just started learning with Cong Laoshi and I am really enjoying it. She comes prepared to every session with a clear lesson plan that is tailored to my goals (I am an adult learner trying to improve my verbal skills). Our sessions are 60 minutes long and every minute feels like it is being fully maximized. For the first time in a long time, I feel motivated to keep learning and advancing thanks to Cong Laoshi.

Patient and Kind Tutor

Cong is an amazing tutor and is so patient. Even when you mess up she simply just makes you try again and it's super helpful and definitely makes me feel more confident in my speaking. Additionally, Cong provides lots of resources and materials to study which allow for more in-depth learning that you may not get at school. I'm doing a lot better now and I think I'm improving pretty fast, she makes sure to understand what level you're currently at and helps you master that level and then proceed to improve. Overall, getting tutored by Cong is great and I love learning from her.

I really enjoyed my lesson, she made me very comfortable

I felt as though I could feel free to create my own lesson according to my goals and Cong was very helpful to find material and vocabulary to support those needs. She was very receptive and was very easy to work with. Thank you Cong.

Kind, encouraging, and patient!

I really enjoyed my session with Cong! She is kind, patient, and very encouraging, which really helped motivate me to further study the language. She had lots of course materials ready and went through them with me to decide my reading level and so forth, so I appreciate how prepared and serious she was about our lesson plan! For instance, we did reading exercises together and explained to me in depth the words I struggled with. You should definitely learn Chinese with Cong!

good experience

My daughter loves her lesson with Cong. She is a total beginner and is getting help for a summer program she is taking. My daughter is more excited about her Chinese homework than her school homework. We are just beginning, but it is going great.
