ཚང་མ་ལ་བཀྲ་བཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས། Good wishes and greetings to you all! I grew up as a nomad in Amdo (Eastern Tibet) and I have since spent more than twenty five years in monastic education with my journey taking me to Lhasa and finally to India in 2012. Fluent in both Amdo and Utsang dialects, I specialise in helping students speak Tibetan confidently. I have studied the entire Gelug curriculum from the basics in Buddhist epistemology and logic all the way to advanced Tantra and so I bridge traditional wisdom with practical language teaching. Whether you are looking for conversational fluency, literary depth, or Buddhist philosophy, I'd love to support you on your journey. I have two years of teaching experience both online and offline. Outside of italki, I take in person classes in Dharamshala, have several long term online students and teach Buddhist basics to local young Tibetans. I love teaching colloquial language (Utsang dialect) and I am happy to teach Amdo dialect (if you want to learn it). I am a compassionate and patient teacher, willing to adapt lessons to your needs- be that philosophy, literature, translation, or day to day speaking!

Yarphel La is an encouraging and intelligent teacher who has been a magical part of my journey as a half Tibetan taking the initiative to finally start the process of learning to comfortably read and speak Tibetan. After first completing 5 wonderful in-person sessions in Dharamshala earlier this year, I've enjoyed making progress through our continued sessions online. Yarphel La is great at language instruction, educating about Tibetan culture/customs, AND helping me build confidence in my ability. Thank you Genla Yarphel!

Yarphel is an amazing Tibetan teacher! If you intend to learn Tibetan, you should go with Yarphel, he will not let you down. He brings with him immense knowledge of Buddhism and Tibetan culture and he makes an excellent conversational partner when teaching the language. He is very friendly and hospitable and will welcome you warmly wherever you are in your Tibetan language journey.

Yarphel la has been such a great teacher. He is patient and takes the time to explain everything. I am trying to learn the Amdo dialect because that is where my husband is from and Yarphel la has been helpful with telling me the differences between all of the dialects. I suggest anyone trying to learn Tibetan, learn from him.

今天Yarphel老師教了很多日常的用語,很推薦和他學習藏語! Today Yarphel taught me many useful expressions for everyday life. I highly recommend learning Tibetan with him! 今日はYarphel先生に、日常で使えるチベット語の表現をたくさん教えていただきました。先生とのチベット語学習をとてもおすすめします。 Vandaag heeft Yarphel me veel handige Tibetaanse uitdrukkingen voor het dagelijks leven geleerd. Ik raad het zeker aan om Tibetaans bij hem te leren :)
