🎓 University Lecturer · Law Master · CTCSOL Certified | Sing Your Way to Fluent Chinese Ever wondered why Chinese say 加油 (jiā yóu) instead of "good luck"? Or how to order food like a local in China? Let me show you the stories behind the language. 🎌 I'm a former university lecturer with a Master's in Law and CTCSOL certification. I taught Chinese language and Tang-Song poetry — now bringing that cultural depth online. Perfect for beginners: I specialize in helping A1-A2 learners build a strong foundation with zero pressure. Lessons feel relaxed, fun, and instantly useful. What makes me different: 🎵 Music learning — I play guitar, we learn pronunciation through Jay Chou songs 🍜 Travel & food focus — ordering food, asking directions, chatting with locals 📚 Culture-first — vocabulary through customs, movies, pop culture 🎯 Personalized — exam prep if needed, mostly speaking with confidence My teaching style: • Beginners: Simple, relaxed, fun. Real-life scenarios (travel, food, daily life), not textbook drills. • A2-B1: Conversation practice, cultural topics, building fluency • All levels: Patient guidance, standard Mandarin, lessons worth coming back to Outside class: literature nerd, Jay Chou fan, pet mom to 2 cats, a lizard, and a Border Collie. Whether you're learning for travel, food, movies, or curiosity about China — book a trial and let's see if we're a good fit! 🎤

Wei Qiao is an excellent teacher, and her lesson was interesting and enjoyable. During the lesson she introduced me to varied aspects of Chinese ancient history, and vocabulary germane to that time period, Furthermore, I watched short videos on the time period in question as well. I look forward to continuing my studies with her in the near future. I highly recommend!!

Qiao-Wei is very knowledgable on how to teach Mandarin Chinese. Her lessons are laid out in a very non-intimadating format that makes you feel comfortable practicing speaking. She is very thorough in her teaching and understanding in where you are in your learning journey. Highly recommend!

My first lesson with Wei Qiao was really nice and I'm looking forward to start my conversation course with her. Wei Qiao has lots of materials to explore, from texts to videos and audios, about the Chinese culture and society, making the class both fun and instructive. Thank you!
