Ni hao (Hello)! Welcome to my bio! I was born and raised in Taiwan then moved to the states to pursue a college degree. On top of being very familiar with the language and the traditional writing, I am also enthusiastic about teaching the culture of Taiwan/Mandarin! I've taught students in all levels - from 4 yr old to elementary, to middle school, to college students and adults. I've tutored at a college tutoring center with multiple students at a time, one-on-one sessions, and had taught in...

Perfect for beginners
Only had one lesson but I already learned so much and got extra materials so I can practice on my own time! Before, I was nervous that this would be too difficult but now I’m very confident I can learn conversational Mandarin!

Very kind and engaging tutor!
Zyle is extremely well organized and prepared for her lessons. She customized her lessons to meet my specific goals and to avoid wasting time teaching me anything unnecessary. I appreciate all her efforts so far and feel very confident that I'll be able to learn Mandarin Chinese with her help.

Excellent teacher, highly recommended!
Zyle Laoshi is a knowledgeable, patient teacher who makes learning Chinese fun! Although I only started studying with her recently, I can already feel myself improving. Our lessons have been relaxed yet productive, as she brings the right mix of lesson structure and conversational flexibility to each class. I’ve had many Chinese teachers in the past and she is one of the best. I highly recommend her to beginners and advanced students alike.

Thoughtful Lesson
Zyle gave a great lesson that met me, a beginner, at my level yet also pushed me. She is mindful and clever on how to introduce tones and how to practice correct pronunciation. Also, she is clearly a kind teacher. Would recommend!

Friendly, knowledgeable, and prepared!
Zyle is a wonderful and friendly tutor! We had a short intro call to discuss my goals with learning Mandarin, and she was able to quickly figure out my areas of improvement. For the lesson itself, she came to the lesson very prepared with content to review and also provided flashcards for me to use to practice after the lesson. The lesson itself is productive as she uses Mandarin as much as possible to provide me with maximum language exposure. She also breaks down phrases into their constituent parts to help me understand not just the "what", but also the "why" in terms of why a phrase means what it means. She also provides insight into Taiwanese culture, which is important to me as a student. All in all, I'd highly recommend her as a tutor.

Fun, encouraging, and super prepared!
My session with Zyle was so fun. I wanted to focus on improving my conversation skills, and the full hour we were together we had conversation in Mandarin / English. Each time I needed to ask how to say something in Mandarin or I had trouble with a word / pronunciation, she would note it down so we could practice it. After our lessons, she even made me digital flashcards with these terms so I could practice. How awesome is that? Highly recommend

Excellent teacher!
Zyle is very engaging and makes learning Mandarin very enjoyable. She keeps note of all the vocabulary and caters the lessons to you. I also love that she shares cultural knowledge about Taiwan and explains the meaning behind the characters.
