I am a professional Mandarin Chinese teacher, having taught in a number of institutions. I have PGCE and QTS certificates, as well as two teacher's qualification from China for teaching primary, secondary and higher (university) level. Before settling in the UK ten years ago with my English husband, I taught both English and Mandarin Chinese in China at primary, secondary and graduate level for over ten years. Since coming to the UK I have continued teaching Mandarin Chinese to children both in a school setting and private one to one home tutoring. I am good at teaching both online and face to face in interactive and fun ways. I take pleasure in creating very effective resources for private students. My teaching method is comprehensive, covering the four skill areas: listening, speaking, reading and writing. I am hardworking and passionate about the subject and I am always striving to improve my students’ knowledge and skills in Mandarin Chinese via a wide variety of effective teaching approaches. With my support, my students have achieved very good progress. I am a friendly, open, caring, patient, considerate, dedicated and responsible person. I have travelled extensively across China and Europe.

My Journey From a Chinese Medicine student to a Chinese Language Tutor
Before embarking on my teaching career, I was studying Chinese Medicine, where I gained Chinese medicine theory and cultural insights to help people improve health in daily. Then I wanted to explore deep understanding of health worldwide. But I found out when I tried to explain the knowledge and theory of Chinese Medicine to foreign friends, they felt more like a myth. After then I found that there is a gap of understanding and explanation between English and Chinese language due to culture and thinking. And this sparked my passion for teaching languages. To understand the thinking and culture, language first.
Teaching Background
With years of experience in language education, I have developed a teaching methodology for Chinese language learning to be effective and understandable. My classes are tailored to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring that they receive the support and guidance necessary to achieve their goals.
Teaching Philosophy
After I found out why people think Chinese medicine is a myth more than a theory and knowledge understanding, I got a solution for it: MAKE IT SIMPLE.
I believe in the power of minimalism. My teaching philosophy revolves around simplifying complex concepts and presenting them in an easy-to-understand manner. This approach helps my students grasp the intricacies of the Chinese language without feeling overwhelmed. By breaking down lessons into manageable parts, I ensure that learning remains fun and accessible.
Passion and Mission
Language learning is a deeply personal and transformative process. My mission is to make this journey as smooth and effective as possible for my students. I am passionate about helping people unlock the beauty and richness of the Chinese language and culture. Whether you are a beginner starting from scratch or an advanced learner looking to refine your skills, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Chinese lessons in Aberdeen, UK.
I am a UK graduate in the field of Teaching English as a Second Language. I specialise in teaching the English language as a second language and English literature. I have been teaching in a high school in Malaysia for more than 6 years. In addition to teaching English, I have also trained students in debate, public speaking, essay-writing competitions, sketch video competition and poetry recitation. Living in a multi-cultural society since young, I can communicate in Mandarin, Malay and Cantonese in addition to English. Before the pandemic, I have travelled to more than 20 countries, mostly in Asia and Europe. It has taught me to be respectful of people from different cultural backgrounds and nationalities.
In my free time, I pursue music as my hobby. I am pursuing a recital diploma LTCL from Trinity College London for piano. I have passed my ABRSM Grade 8 in music theory with merit. During my university years, I performed on various occasions and choir performances. The highlight would be my experience playing the piano for MARJON choir at the Birmingham Choir Festival in 2013. I was the recipient of the David Baker Organ scholarship for 3 consecutive academic years from 2011-2013. I also know how to play the harp, guitar, and ukelele in addition to piano and music theory. Being able to play by ear, I can play any songs requested by my clients on the piano and the harp in music therapy sessions.
