🪴你好Hi👋! I’m Lily, a trilingual Chinese tutor fluent in Chinese, English, and Japanese. Since 2019, I’ve taught over 8,000 lessons to students from around the world.
I know that learning Chinese can feel overwhelming — maybe you struggle to speak naturally, need Chinese for work or exams, or wish you could chat easily with your partner’s family. My goal is to make Chinese clear, practical, and enjoyable, so you can use it confidently in real life.
Before becoming a full-time tutor, I worked in a top global advertising agency and the automotive industry, where I developed strong communication skills across cultures.
Outside teaching, I love traveling, dancing, and exploring new cultures.
Me as a Teacher
📚I have five years of experience teaching students of all ages and backgrounds.
My specialties include Conversational Chinese, AP/HSK Exam Preparation, and Chinese for Kids.
My lessons follow a structured yet flexible system designed to help you remember, speak, and apply what you learn.
My lessons & teaching style
💬Each class starts with a short review of key phrases from the last lesson, followed by new content based on real-life materials like videos, news, and interesting topics that fit your goals.
After class, I send digital flashcards so you can review vocabulary easily. In the next lesson, we’ll use those same words in sentences, role-plays, and conversations, making sure you can actually use them in context.
This cycle of review → input → output helps my students progress quickly and speak Chinese with confidence.
Many have achieved amazing results — from travelers who could communicate comfortably in just a few months to AP students who raised their scores from a 4 to a perfect 5.

I've been taking classes with Lily for a few months now, and I must say she's simply the best. She's incredibly organized, very didactic, and always makes sure the lessons are clear, engaging, and productive. Her dedication and teaching style have made a huge difference in my learning process. Xiè xiè lǎoshī.
