A Chinese language instructor at a U.S. university with over ten years of teaching experience. Hello! I'm Leon from Taiwan and currently work as a Chinese language lecturer at a university in the United States. With over 10 years of teaching experience, I specialize in both Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese (Taigi). My goal is to help students develop practical communication skills while gaining a deeper understanding of Chinese and Taiwanese culture. I teach students of all levels and tailor every lesson to your goals, learning style, and pace. My classes are clear, interactive, and focused on real-life communication, making learning both effective and enjoyable. Whether you're interested in Chinese or Taiwanese culture, food, travel, or want to communicate with family and friends in Mandarin or Taigi, I'll help you achieve your goals. I also teach both Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters, as well as Zhuyin (ㄅㄆㄇㄈ) and Pinyin. Differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, and language use between Taiwan and Mainland China are naturally incorporated into my lessons. Whether your goal is conversation, daily communication, or a deeper understanding of Chinese-speaking cultures, I'll create a personalized learning plan that fits your needs. I look forward to helping you build confidence and enjoy every step of your Chinese learning journey!

Leon is a great and knowledgeable teacher. He encourages speaking on a wide range of topics. I feel my mandarin improved a lot with his classes. He is very diligent in following up with detailed notes of the session. Would highly recommend whatever your Mandarin level

Leon is an affable and energetic teacher. He makes his points fluently and efficiently across three languages (ENG/國語/台語). Highly recommended.

I've taken a few lessons with this teacher now and I always really enjoy them. He comes prepared with materials and gives me thorough notes after class so that I can just focus on speaking during class. Very patient and helpful, giving me the opportunity to try to find the right words but also stepping in to help when I need it.

I was very impressed with the lesson and format presented. It’s certainly difficult to learn a new language but the lesson was engaging. I’m trying to brush up on mandarin while learning Taiwanese and this format is perfect. Leo is professional and encouraging! I feel like no time is wasted in class and it’s very efficient.
