Most Chinese classes teach you what to say. I focus on helping you understand how and why Chinese is actually used in real life.
I am a native Mandarin speaker now based in New Jersey, and I graduated from a top university in China with a Master’s degree in Law. Over the past 20 years, I have worked in legal, trading, logistics, and international business environments, where language is closely tied to culture, logic, and decision-making. In my professional role, I have served as a trainer within my company, delivering structured training sessions to employees on business-related topics. In my spare time, I also help students at the 9th grade level and above learn Chinese, both to improve their academic performance and to build practical communication skills.
My teaching style goes beyond vocabulary and grammar. I incorporate cultural context, real-life communication scenarios, and simplified business and legal case examples to help students develop a deeper understanding of the language. Whether you are preparing for AP Chinese or HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi), building a strong foundation, or learning for professional or personal interest, I tailor each lesson to your goals. My aim is to help you not only learn Mandarin, but also gain the confidence and insight to use it naturally and effectively in real situations.
