likes meaningful, comprehensible input, intrinsic motivation, relatability with fellows 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. 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. language-learning people/things I like: Stephan Krashen(compelling, comprehensible input, free voluntary reading, stress-free), Language Reactor, Refold, Steve Kaufmann, LingQ, Langotalk(easy speaking practice), graded readers(Chinese Companion, DuChinese), Comprehensible Chinese(youtube), SDT & BPNS(relatedness) Pronunciation and characters. Conversation and grammar. Art and culture. Business conversation.

Maya gives me plenty of time to practice free conversation in Chinese, as well as introducing new words and grammar. She patiently explains new words using examples and language I already understand. I really enjoy being encouraged to express myself in Chinese.

I've had one trial class with Maya so far. She was very kind and complimented me on the level I had already achieved. We planned a combination of structured exercises and free conversation to help me get more comfortable speaking and improve my vocab.

I really enjoy my Mandarin lessons with Maya. She’s very organized and always makes tone practice a consistent part of every class, which has helped me a lot with pronunciation and confidence when speaking Chinese. The lessons are well-structured, with excellent materials and great cultural discussions. She’s fluent in English, which makes communication easy, and she’s always kind, patient, and attentive to my learning needs. I truly enjoy our classes! Thank you, Maya.
