Senior teacher with 28 years teaching experience Hi! My name is Yu. I am a Chinese native speaker and a Chinese language teacher with more than 20 years teaching experience after I majored Chinese language and literature in the university. I am qualified with teaching position by Ministry of Education of China with a teacher's qualification license since 2003. I hold a Spoken Chinese Proficiency Certificate from State Language Commission, which is an approval that I speak standard Mandarin without any regional accent. I speak English fluently, and I speak German as well. Over the 20 years, I have organized and presented a variety of Chinese courses for beginner, intermediates and advanced level learners in a range of subjects including business Chinese, public speaking, writing, HSK examination preparation and others to students from Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. I provide, Customized Chinese Course (All levels) ,Pronunciation Course ,Topic Practice (Intermediate and advanced level)。 My lessons are fun and designed around the needs and preferences of each individual student. Lessons are based on a communicative approach with the student doing most of the talking. The goal is to develop the student's skills and abilities through guided and open practice with feedback and analysis. So, whether you are learning Chinese for academic purpose, for your job, for daily living in China, or just as a hobby, I can set up a route for you and help you to succeed in Chinese.

Yun Xian continues to provide awesome Chinese language insight and learning techniques that regularly help me in how I think about Chinese and learn the language. She helps me innovate my learning process and changes things up when I'm not catching on and learning how I should be. Great lessons!

Yun Xian‘s Pronunciation Course is probably one of the best Mandarin course's found on italki. Every lesson with Yun is excellent. Her lesson's are challenging and enjoyable. I highly recommend Yun to anyone studying Mandarin regardless of your level of learning!

She is the best teacher I've ever had. She's very professional and she's knowledgeable not only about the language but also about the culture and history of China. She makes learning Chinese interesting and fun, she's always engaging and enthusiastic. With her I'm learning at a much greater pace than I ever thought would be possible.

I moved to China for work and I needed to start learning Chinese quickly for my daily life. I specifically wanted to find a teacher with a flexible teaching style so she could teach me how to say specific things useful in my daily life while also generally teaching me Chinese. Laoshi has been wonderful at this and I have been able to immediately use the words and phrases in real life. My coworkers are astounded how quickly I am learning. I also really like the way she teaches characters in their historical context because it makes it very easy to remember them. She is a very kind and funny teacher so I look forward to my lessons even after a long day of work. Highly recommend this teacher.

Yunxian is a stellar teacher! She spent 30 solid minutes of pronunciation practice with me on one sentence that I just haven't been able to get. No evidence for even a second of boredom or impatience! I so appreciate Yunxian's expertise and support.
