Do you ever know the words in Chinese,
but still freeze in real conversations?
That awkward pause.
That moment when something feels off,
but you don’t know how to respond naturally.
I help English-speaking learners handle real-life Chinese moments —
not textbook Chinese, not grammar drills.
This is not about starting a long course.
It’s about checking whether you’re using Chinese the right way.
I’m Yancy, a native Chinese speaker from China.
I’ve taught Chinese on italki since 2020.
My lessons are calm, practical, and conversation-based.
We talk, practice, and work through real situations together.Me as a Teacher
I started teaching Chinese on italki in 2020.
My lessons are relaxed, practical, and conversation-based.
Students often tell me they feel more comfortable speaking Chinese after our lessons. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons focus on real-life Chinese conversations.
We work through everyday situations step by step,
so you can respond more naturally without overthinking grammar.
Lessons are relaxed and practical.
English support is always available when needed.My teaching material

I’ve had three lessons so far, and I’ve already learned so much! My confidence to try speaking to other people has grown and the fact that people understand what I’m trying to say has made a big difference. Love it so far!
