About Me
italki teacher since Oct 29, 2019InterestsFilms & TV SeriesReadingFoodTravelBusiness & Finance
I work on cross-cultural communication and real-life judgment in conversations.
I help people respond naturally in situations where language isn’t the real problem —
whether that involves speaking Chinese,
or using English with Chinese speakers.
Many learners tell me:
“I know the words, but I’m never sure if I’m using them the right way.”
Others say:
“I understand what was said, but I misunderstand what people actually mean.”
My work focuses on judgment, context, and how situations are really read —
not just what sounds correct.Me as a Teacher
I’ve been teaching on italki since 2020,
working with learners who face real business, social, and interpersonal situations.
Many students tell me my sessions feel different —
not because I give answers,
but because they start seeing situations more clearly.
We focus on how people interpret moments differently,
where misunderstandings come from,
and why something feels “off” even when the words sound normal. My lessons & teaching style
They are designed for learners who already know some Chinese,
but feel unsure when they need to respond in real situations.
We work through practical, everyday scenarios —
such as daily conversations, travel, social,
or workplace situations —
especially moments where you’re not sure how to respond naturally.
Lessons are calm, structured, and conversation-based.
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!
