From 36.38 C$ /h

Hello! I am a native Chinese speaker, and I would love to help you learn Chinese in an easy, enjoyable, and practical way.

Chinese is one of the oldest and most beautiful languages in the world, but many learners find it difficult because of its characters, tones, and pronunciation. In my lessons, I will guide you step by step, starting from the basics and helping you build confidence gradually.

My teaching method is inspired by the way Chinese children learn their first Chinese lessons at school. You will learn useful vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, characters, and everyday expressions. I will also introduce Chinese culture, so you can understand not only the language itself, but also how it is used in real life.

Whether you are learning Chinese for travel, study, work, culture, or business, my lessons can be adjusted to your level and goals. Beginners are very welcome!

Come and join me for a fun and lovely Chinese lesson. I look forward to learning with you!

▸ Who I Work With?

My lessons are not for beginners looking to learn "ni hao" and "xie xie." They are for:

- Entrepreneurs and business owners who want to understand Chinese business culture, negotiation dynamics, and market rules

- Academics and intellectuals — including the university professors I've taught, and anyone hungry for deep intellectual dialogue

- Creative professionals who want to understand Chinese aesthetics, internet culture, and consumer sensibilities

- Deep thinkers who want to explore philosophy, social psychology, and the differences between Eastern and Western civilizations

If you need a tutor to walk you through textbook exercises, I'm probably not your person. If you need someone who has actually sat at the negotiation table, built real things, and can engage with your ideas seriously — book a lesson with me.

──────────────────

▸ Teaching Experience:

I have two years of offline Chinese teaching experience. My students have included Korean automotive designers, American software engineers, European entrepreneurs, and university professors. I adapt well to students from diverse cultural backgrounds and tailor lesson plans to your specific goals.

──────────────────

▸ What You Can Expect:

Every lesson is built around your specific goals:

- Business & Negotiation Chinese — learn to read between the lines in Chinese business communication, structure a persuasive pitch, and handle high-stakes conversations

- Project-Based Learning — bring your real project, whether it's a business plan, a brand deck, or a speech, and we'll work on it directly in Chinese

- Deep Intellectual Dialogue — explore topics like "the future relationship between humanity and AI," "the driving forces behind China's peaceful rise," or "the collision of Eastern and Western ways of thinking" — all while sharpening your advanced Chinese expression

- HSK Exam Preparation (Optional) — If you're working toward an HSK certification, I can integrate exam-focused vocabulary and grammar into our business Chinese lessons, ensuring your exam preparation never feels like rote memorization.

I don't do scripted role-plays. I do real conversations about things that truly matter to you.

──────────────────

▸ Teaching Style

As a self-taught psychology enthusiast, I bring deep listening and empathy into my classroom. My teaching style is safe and fully accepting: I refrain from quick judgment, and I use questions to guide you in clarifying your thoughts and reaching the heart of a topic. What you'll gain is not just fluency, but a deeply understanding, warm conversational experience.

──────────────────

Maybe you're still hesitating about whether to learn Chinese.

Or perhaps there's a question you just can't shake —

In the age of AI, when instant translation is everywhere, why invest so much energy in learning a new language?

Here's my answer: a language is the crystallized wisdom of a civilization. It is a vital bridge to touch the thoughts and soul of another people.

When you're no longer satisfied with a surface-level understanding of Chinese, and instead choose to personally feel and experience the collision and nourishment of different ways of thinking — language learning stops being a tedious task. It becomes a journey of breaking out of fixed perceptions and realizing deeper self-awareness. In this exploration, you'll come to understand the cultural meanings and thought patterns behind the language. And in the process of understanding Chinese, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your own culture.

Just as AI can never replace a psychologist, capturing your non-verbal, subconscious self-expression — it can also never replace your own firsthand experience, to reap this enormous, long-term value that transcends language itself.

So, what are you waiting for? Book your first lesson now.

I truly look forward to meeting you in class. Let's work together toward your goals.
