About Me
italki teacher since Feb 13, 2015InterestsSports & FitnessMusicTech
Hi, my name is Maya. I am interested in art, music, and fitness. I grew up in China, studied in Europe and the U.S.. Now I'm living in Shenzhen, a city next to Hong Kong. "What is the value of China and the Chinese way of seeing the world?" This is something that I'm curious about.Me as a Teacher
I believe that curiosity is the best teacher. And you yourself is the most important teacher. Your reason and expectations for learning Chinese and attending the class are what's most important. Your effort will get you where you want to be. I'll be the company and support towards your goal.

Les cours de chinois avec Maya sont très bien pensés : tout est clair, progressif, et parfaitement adapté à ce que je voulais apprendre. En plus, Maya est très impliquée, toujours à l’écoute, patiente et rend chaque séance vivante et motivante !

After a three year break I just had another class with teacher Maya. She is very patient, asks questions and adjusts to my Chinese level super well. Just like in my last review three years ago I highly recommend her as a Chinese teacher :)

Maya is fantastic. She makes you feel really comfortable and encourages you throughout the whole process. She came prepared with slides and also gave me additional practice to help me through the week. We went through a lot in a little amount of time; I'm excited to work with her again.
