Hello everyone, I'm AJ. I'm from Northeast China. I've been an online Chinese teacher for more than ten years. I've taught many students from the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand. My students include both the elderly and children. My classes are mainly conversation-based, helping students enjoy the fun of learning Chinese through chatting. I believe language should be used in daily conversations, and we can learn new words through talking. For kids, I have teaching materials and can start from the very basics. I’ve also taught many children from Hong Kong, so I’m very experienced. If you want to make your Chinese learning really fun, feel free to contact me anytime.

AJ is excellent teacher who has not only introduced me to new vocabulary, and grammar, but also has introduced me to many facets of Chinese culture that you rarely if ever read about in a textbook. I have been her student for four years, and I hope to continue being her student for many more years to come. Thank you, laoshi!

AJ is one of the better instructors I have studied with on the iTalki platform. I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to improve their language skills.

fantastic lesson after fantastic lesson. It's hard on Italki to find a teacher with the patience to spend the hard time necessary to correct tones. Could not recommend highly enough!

AJ is an excellent teacher, who knows how to make the difficult aspects of learning Chinese Mandarin relatively easy.
