Hello, I’m Alice, a native Mandarin speaker from Hunan with a C1 level of English and a strong background in education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and have eight years of teaching experience, including five years in primary school education and three years teaching Chinese online and offline. This background allows me to explain complex ideas clearly, logically, and patiently, especially for adult learners. I am certified in Putonghua (Grade II A) and also speak Cantonese. Pronunciation accuracy is always an important part of my teaching.

Me as a Teacher

My teaching philosophy is simple: language learning is about understanding and communication, not memorization. In my classes, I: ✅Help beginners build solid foundations in pronunciation and grammar ✅Use situational dialogues to teach vocabulary and sentence patterns ✅Focus on explaining why Chinese works the way it does I’ve developed practical techniques to help students overcome common difficulties in tones, grammar logic, and speaking naturally. I also integrate Chinese culture, traditions, and stories into lessons, helping students understand not only the language, but the people behind it.
