Hi, my name is Clover Tao. You can call me Clover or Tao Laoshi. I'm a native Mandarin speaker and a professional Chinese teacher with a master’s degree in Applied Linguistics. I’ve been teaching for nearly 10 years. YouTube: nihaochinesenet Beyond language skills, I enjoy exploring a wide range of topics with my students, including Chinese culture, literature, history, and more. If you're looking not only to improve your Chinese proficiency but also to gain deeper insights into China—such as social etiquette, cultural norms, societal dynamics, and the differences between Chinese and Western cultures—then I’d be a great fit for you!

Another great lesson with Clover. This time we talked about food and cooking, which was a really fun topic as we were able to compare cooking styles between different countries. Clover is always patient and friendly, and corrects you gently without disrupting the flow of the conversation. Thank you as always, Clover!

Clover is an excellent teacher. She is very well prepared with extensive professional resources that have helped me a lot with different aspects of my Chinese learning, such as conversation, reading, and teaching me more idioms. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I highly recommend studying with her!

Clover is a fantastic teacher, she's always well prepared and extremely helpful. She provides helpful guidance and structures learning content at a level of difficulty I'm very happy with the progress I've made with my Chinese study over the last year, which has been in large part due to Clover's guidance and patience
