Hi, my name is Nathan! I am a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and a former Chinese teacher at a U.S. middle school, where I taught both middle and high school students. I have also worked as a part-time Chinese tutor with students of different ages and backgrounds.
I have loved the Chinese language, culture, and history since childhood, and I enjoy helping students discover that Chinese does not have to be intimidating. In my lessons, I focus on making Chinese clear, logical, and engaging, especially for students who feel overwhelmed by tones, characters, or grammar.
Instead of relying on rote memorization, I help students understand the patterns behind the language and the cultural and psychological thinking that shapes how Chinese is spoken and written. I believe that language reflects the way people think, and once students understand this mindset, learning becomes much easier and more enjoyable.
Whether you are a beginner, a heritage learner, or a student preparing for school classes, I tailor my lessons to your goals and learning style. My aim is to help you build confidence, improve real communication skills, and truly understand how Chinese works.
I look forward to helping you succeed in learning Chinese!
