🧠 Logic-Driven Mandarin | 💼 Former Tech PM | 🌍 Cross-Cultural Experience Hi, I’m Michelle 🐼, a native Mandarin speaker from Chengdu, China. I bring a “scientific mind and a linguistic soul” to language teaching. I have nearly 20 years of professional experience, including work as a tech product manager in Mexico, and 5 years of experience teaching English. My background in technology, international business, language learning and cross-cultural communication helps me explain Mandarin clearly, logically and practically. I’m also a two-time silver medalist in Go, so strategic thinking and pattern recognition shape the way I teach. My lessons are structured, encouraging and tailored to your goals. I help you understand how Mandarin works, not just memorize isolated words or rules. Courses I offer: 💬 Practical Spoken Mandarin: move beyond textbook Chinese and express yourself naturally. 📜 Chinese Stories, Poetry & Wisdom: Timeless Ideas from Chinese Tradition 💼 Business, Technology & AI Mandarin: discuss work, products, projects and industry topics. 🎬 Chinese Through Film, Music & Pop Culture: learn natural Mandarin through stories, songs and culture. 你好,我是 Michelle,来自中国成都。🐼 我的教学风格可以概括为“理工科头脑+语言灵魂”。 我拥有近20年的职场经验,曾在墨西哥从事科技产品相关工作,也有5年英语教学经验。科技、国际商务、语言学习和跨文化交流的经历,使我能够用清晰、有逻辑、实用的方式讲解中文。我还是两届围棋比赛银牌得主,因此战略思维和模式识别也自然融入了我的课堂。 我的课程有结构、有内容,也会根据你的目标进行调整。我不仅教你“怎么说”,还会帮助你理解中文为什么这样表达。 我提供以下课程: 💬 实用中文口语:摆脱课本中文,提升自然表达。 💼 商务、科技与AI中文:讨论工作、产品、项目和行业话题。 📜 中国故事、诗词与智慧:传统文化中历久弥新的思想 🎬 影视、音乐与流行文化中文:通过真实内容学习自然中文。

Michelle is very supportive and helpful - I am comfortable trying to say things that are outside of my experience. I am really enjoying our lesson times, and she is great about finding good topics or asking questions that are appropriately challenging (but not TOO challenging). Thanks again for another great lesson!

Michelle is really good at explaining the grammar and the concepts in a way that is clear. She is also adept at gauging how much I understand in Mandarin, and she uses clear and straightforward Mandarin to explain where possible, but is also able to provide clarification in English where necessary. I really like that she challenges me to work through the sentence / idea in Mandarin, but that I never feel stressed or pressured. I look forward to more lessons. Thank you, Michelle!
