As a teacher, I believe that language learning should be dynamic and immersive. My background in journalism has equipped me with the tools to make Mandarin both relevant and engaging. I focus not just on the technical aspects of the language, like grammar and vocabulary, but also on the cultural context that brings the language to life. By integrating real-world examples and current events into my lessons, I make learning Mandarin an enriching experience that goes beyond the classroom.My lessons & teaching style

It was a pleasure learning with Dawn. She was very responsive to my messages even before I booked a class. As I am preparing for a specialized oral exam, she took notes on my presentation and gave me detailed feedback on strengths and areas for improvement. She suggested alternative words and sentence structures and took care explaining when each word should be used. This helps me avoid the same mistakes in the future. It was a great experience. Thank you, Dawn!
