I was born and raised in Guangzhou, a stone’s throw from Hong Kong. I speak both Mandarin&Cantonese with standard accents.
I am passionate about languages, traveling, working out, dancing and food. I'm teaching full-time, I have taught 8000+ classes, meanwhile I'm living&traveling around the world.I've lived in Asia and Europe.
I've been to 30+ countries including Latvia, Iran, Turkey, Mexico, Australia and so on. I've dived, skydived, paraglided and gone for 1.5months long motorcycle trip.
I speak English well so I can explain grammatical questions clearly. I am also learning Spanish and the local languages when I stay there.

My lessons & teaching style
I like to keep my lesson practical and I can communicate with students in Chinese and English fluently.
- Before our class, I spend some time to learn about your purpose, proficiency level, preferred methods, and prepare the class accordingly.
- In the class, I encourage you to 1. speak Chinese as much as possible, 2. make your own sentences while I correct your pronunciation and gramma, and 3. write them down for future review; and provide you helpful feedback and tips for improvement.
- After the class, I provide you with text, audio, or video materials and assign homework if you wish.

Nicole is always helpful, punctual, patient, and kind. She remembers all kinds of details of our past lessons and knows which words I know (or should know!) and which words will be new.

I'm always impressed with Nicole's openness, friendliness, and ability to clearly explain the nuances of both Mandarin and Cantonese, as well as how they relate to English words when further clarification is needed. Even 90-minute classes always fly by very quickly with Nicole!

Nicole has been a great teacher for me. I feel like I’m making great progress with my Cantonese. I was up front about my language goals and Nicole worked with me to come up with a plan to achieve them; she has adapted to my learning style in order to optimize my learning efficiency and effectiveness. I feel more and more comfortable with the language every week and also am optimistic of achieving my lofty goal of getting to close to B2 within a year. I am very grateful to have found such an outstanding teacher.
