Hi everyone! I am a native Mandarin speaker from Malaysia. I have teaching experience with the Language Society at the University of Manchester. I can teach conversational Mandarin and can use the HSK structure to help you build a solid foundation in the language. I also like to incorporate all sorts of online materials (videos, books, exercises) to help make learning interactive, engaging and fun. Furthermore, I often provide recommendations to students as to different self-learning sources, such as podcasts, books and videos which can help catalyse your growth in the Mandarin language.

As someone who is passionate about language-learning and cultural-exchange myself, I look forward to helping you on your Mandarin-learning journey. I am also a language-learner myself, therefore I can relate first-hand to what it is like picking up a language other than your mother tongue. For example, I started learning Spanish in September 2022 and have since achieved a conversational (B1) level in the language. This year, I am picking up Arabic and French.

Moreover, I provide a unique approach to learning Mandarin as I have been exposed to different Chinese-speaking cultures. I spent my early childhood in China and later moved to Malaysia where I attended Chinese primary and secondary schools up until the age of 17. Thus, I have been exposed to a variety of accents and different regional Chinese languages/dialects which can prove to be enriching towards your Mandarin-learning journey. In short, I really hope I can use my experience and knowledge in helping you achieve your language-learning goals!
