I am a native Mandarin speaker born and raised in the region of China where standard Mandarin originated. Mandarin is my home dialect, not a second language, and I bring that authentic fluency and cultural depth to every lesson. For four years, I served as my school's broadcast host, chosen by teachers for my clear tone and expressive delivery. This experience sharpened my pronunciation and ability to convey meaning with feeling—skills I now bring to every tutoring session.
I hold a master's degree in chemistry, serving as a teaching assistant throughout graduate school, and I am currently pursuing a doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have years of experience helping others with Mandarin and have also tutored high school math and science. These experiences have shaped my structured, analytical teaching style, which many students find especially helpful when tackling tones, pronunciation, and grammar. I enjoy adapting my approach to different learning styles and making lessons practical and engaging.
I'm fully bilingual in Mandarin and English and enjoy helping students of all ages build real communication skills in a clear, encouraging way. Whether you're just starting Mandarin or looking to deepen your skills, I'll tailor each lesson to your goals—from basic vocabulary and tones to everyday conversation and cultural insights. Let's work together to build your confidence and fluency!
