Hi! I'm Dan from China, with crystal-clear Mandarin pronunciation.
💼I used to work for an aircraft manufacturing company, and one of my responsibilities was handling business affaris in international trade. Now, I am a full-time Chinese tutor, helping students master the language.
🔥I provide personalized lessons tailored to your needs and goals.I use my own systematic materials(HSK-based) that focus on natural, idiomatic expressions. Instead of teaching rarely used vocabulary or sentences.
【What do I mainly teach】
✅HSK
✅Business Chinese
✅Conversational/Travel Chinese
✅Listening and speaking skills
❌ Anyone UNDER the age of 14 years old (Sorry, I don't have the right resources).
【What will you learn】
🎯Basic of Chinese: Beginners friendly. We will learn Pinyin, phrases, basic sentence, etc.
🎯Speaking: I will teach you how to express Chinese with simple methods. You'll have plenty of opportunities to practice speaking and forming sentences on your own.
🎯 Empathy Shift: I will put myself in non-native speakers’ shoes, figure out what you need when learning Chinese, and find the right learning methods for you.
Every person is different and learns at their own pace. As a teacher, my job is to find the best method to help you improve Chinese.My teaching material

Dan Laoshi is an excellent instructor, and the class was a nice blend of reading and speaking exercises, glimpses into Chinese culture, and pronunciation feedback. Highly recommend!

Dan is such a great teacher! She is knowledgeable in both Chinese poetry and history. When going through daily expressions and dialogue, we use role play and she corrects my mistakes and directs me on how to use a phrase more naturally.
