Hello,
I am Cindy Li Lao Shi (李老師) from Taichung, Taiwan. I have over 4,000 hours of online teaching experience as a private tutor, and I have also collaborated with OCAC Taiwan to teach overseas Chinese.
I am very passionate about learning new languages — I’ve learned six languages, including English, Japanese, French, Czech, Korean, and Spanish, so I understand the challenges of learning a new language.
I’m also deeply interested in learning and neuroscience. My teaching follows the principles of second language acquisition, making your language learning journey easier!
You can check out my YouTube channel to learn Chinese:

I've been teaching Chinese for over 4 years. I have taught over 3000 hours and over 300 hundred students.
I have qualified TCSOL (Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages) and TCYL ( Teaching Chinese to Young Learners) licenses.
My students are from 3 years old to 65 years old. They are students, teachers, engineers, USA diplomats, or doctors, I have experience teaching different backgrounds, and I am very excited to meet students from around the world!
I love Chinese history, Chinese medicine, Lao Zhuang philosophy, and my beautiful hometown TAIWAN!
I have a great passion for learning languages and teaching Chinese, I am looking forward to seeing you!!
My lesson planning is highly diverse. It is designed based on students' learning goals, and all exercises adhere to the principles of second language ...My teaching material

I love my lessons with Cindy! This was my first time getting a tutor and didn’t know what to expect, but she immediately put me at ease and made learning so easy and fun. She is happy to do both have more casual lessons and also structured lessons following books, and always allows for time for me to practice speaking on my own and ask her any questions. It just feels like catching up with a very patient friend. I’ve had 10+ lessons with Cindy and will continue! Highly recommend :)

I've been taking lessons with Cindy on and off for a while now. She is fun to talk to and always willing to share some interesting conversation topics. Even though my Chinese still needs a lot of improvement, she is a patient and curious teacher, so I get the opportunity to learn about and discuss a lot of different things.
