Hello! I’m Leon, a Chinese lecturer at a university in the United States. I teach both Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese (Taigi), and I enjoy helping students build real communication skills while exploring culture.
I have experience teaching learners of different levels and backgrounds, and I understand the challenges of learning a new language. My goal is to make learning clear, practical, and enjoyable.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am patient, supportive, and goal-oriented. I believe that every student learns differently, so I always adapt my teaching based on your needs, level, and interests.
I create a comfortable learning environment where you can feel confident speaking and making mistakes. My goal is to help you build real communication skills step by step, not just memorize vocabulary or grammar.
Whether you are shy about speaking or want to improve fluency, I will guide you at your own pace and help you gain confidence. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are personalized, practical, and engaging. I design each class based on your goals, whether you want to improve conversation skills, conduct research, or better understand Taiwanese culture.
I focus on real-life communication, helping you use natural expressions with confidence. You’ll get plenty of speaking and listening practice, along with clear explanations to support your learning.
For Taiwanese (Taigi), I use simple and structured methods to help you understand pronunciation and sentence patterns, so you can start speaking from the beginning.
I also incorporate topics like food, travel, and daily life to make learning more meaningful and enjoyable.My teaching material
