About Me
italki teacher since Nov 28, 2025InterestsSports & FitnessBusiness & FinanceFoodTravelMarketing
📍 From Hangzhou · Now Based in Toronto
👩🏻🏫 A Professional Chinese Teacher
Bridging Language · Culture · Business · Communication
I come from Hangzhou, one of the most culturally rich cities in China, and I am now based in Toronto, Canada. This cross-cultural life experience allows me to understand not only how Chinese works — but how learners struggle, think, and grow in a multicultural environment.
🎓 Background That Makes a Difference
With training in:
International Finance
Trade & Business Communication
Government Relations
…and 5+ years of teaching experience, I don’t simply teach Chinese —
I teach you how to use Chinese in real life, real business, and real conversations.Me as a Teacher
🚀 A Teacher Who Goes Beyond Pronunciation & Vocabulary
Many teachers help you: ✅ recognize characters
✅ pronounce sounds correctly
But is that enough?
🧠 I TRAIN YOU TO THINK IN CHINESE.
My goal is not only to make you sound “correct”,
but to make you sound:
🔥 NATURAL
🔥 CONFIDENT
🔥 CULTURALLY AWARE
I focus on:
TONE PATTERNS & RHYTHM
INTONATION & EXPRESSION
CULTURAL LOGIC behind the language
Real communication in real situations
Because clear pronunciation is good —
but AUTHENTIC EXPRESSION is better.
❓ Why do some learners sound fluent but still “foreign”?
Because language is not only sound —
it is THINKING + CULTURE + EXPRESSION.
And that is what I train you for. My lessons & teaching style
❓ WHAT MAKES MY LESSONS OUTSTANDING?
✨ MORE THAN JUST LANGUAGE
Learning Pinyin & Characters is not just recognition or pronunciation.
I integrate Chinese culture, history & real-life context into every lesson, so you understand why Chinese is expressed this way.
🍜 LEARN THROUGH CULTURE & CONTEXT
Lessons naturally include:
✅ Speaking — for natural, confident communication
✅ Listening — to understand real spoken Chinese
✅ Writing — to reinforce usage and memory
✅ Reading / Characters & Pinyin — taught with cultural stories & historical context
🧠 All combined into a SMART, INTEGRATED SYSTEM that helps you think in Chinese and communicate naturally.My teaching material
