About Me
Hi! I’m Liou, a native Mandarin Chinese speaker originally from China, currently based in Rome, Italy. I’ve spent years living and studying across Asia and Europe — in Japan, France, and now Italy — which has given me a deep appreciation for how language shapes culture and connection. I’m passionate about making Chinese accessible and enjoyable for learners at any level. My lessons are structured but flexible, adapted to your pace and real-world goals: whether that’s mastering Pinyin from scratch, building conversational fluency, or diving into characters and tones. I bring genuine enthusiasm to every session, and I believe the best learning happens when you feel comfortable and motivated. Let’s make Chinese click for you — 加油 :)
