About Me

Hello!

My name is Yuqiao, and I am originally from China. Mandarin Chinese is my native language, and I have a deep love for sharing it with people from all over the world.

My teaching style is friendly, patient, and flexible. I like to adapt my lessons to each student’s needs, whether they want to focus on everyday conversation, pronunciation, exam preparation, or understanding Chinese culture.

In my classes, you will find a balance of speaking, listening, reading, and writing practice, along with real-life examples that make learning fun and relevant. I often include cultural topics such as Chinese festivals, idioms, and modern trends, so you can not only speak Mandarin but also understand the way people think and live in China.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, cooking and hiking. I believe these interests help me connect with students and bring fresh ideas into the classroom.

I am excited to guide you on your Mandarin learning journey and help you speak with confidence and joy. Let’s get started!

Our teaching method is built on modern, evidence-based principles of lifelong learning and adult education. We believe Arabic is a logical and accessible language — when taught using the right approach. That’s why our curriculum is carefully structured to prioritize relevance, clarity, and practical use.

We offer private online lessons for all levels, from A1 to C2. Whether you’re aiming to use Modern Standard Arabic in professional settings or to become fluent in the Levantine dialect for everyday conversation, our program provides the tools and guidance to help you succeed.

I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.

I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.

I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!
