Hello, my name is Olivia. I am a native Mandarin speaker from Xi’an, China—an ancient capital renowned for its rich history and the world-famous Terracotta Warriors. With six years of teaching experience, I am fluent in English and possess conversational proficiency in Spanish. 👩‍🏫My teaching journey began in China, where I taught English at an institution and founded 'Tree House,' an outdoor English-speaking club designed to move language learning beyond traditional classroom boundaries and into real-life scenarios. Currently, I am based in Ecuador, where I teach both Chinese and English to students ranging from ages 3 to 60. I specialize in creating personalized learning plans tailored to each student’s needs, focusing on practical communication skills for everyday situations such as shopping, dining, and traveling. I believe that language is a living tool🔨, and my approach emphasizes authentic, useful expressions over rigid, textbook-based methods or exam-oriented learning. My goal is to help students build confidence and use Chinese comfortably in real-world contexts.
