Convert your knowledge into fluent speaking 你們好!Hi! I'm Jiayun from Taiwan. I speak fluent English and intermediate Spanish. I'm a native Mandarin speaker and a certified Mandarin teacher with 8 years of experience. I use both pinyin/zhuyin and simplified/traditional characters. I've lived in Mexico, Canada, the US, and Europe before. I have a BS degree in medical imaging and radiological sciences. During my last year in university, I also did a Mandarin teaching program on the side. This is something I enjoy doing more. I also create learning content across YT(Jiayun Mandarin), lG, and podcast. The content includes such as beginner video lessons using Comprehensible Input, intermediate level stories, and lyrics videos. As a language learner myself, I enjoy creating content to help Mandarin learners to learn in a diverse way, in this seemingly long journey. I speak rather fluent English, so we'll be able to communicate clearly during lessons. Lessons can be given in Spanish too if your Chinese level is A1-B1, or be given fully in Chinese, if you prefer. I am flexible in terms of what we can work on in the lessons, based on your preference, level, and goal. We’ll work out a plan together during the first lesson. Materials that my students often find helpful, to name a few: simply conversation practice, tv dramas, reality shows, graded reader, textbooks, real-life videos, Reddit, etc. There are a variety of resources that I can share to help establish a holistic study.

I love my classes with Jiayun. The times flies by and I always feel motivated after class. She readily adapts the class to my interests and has an impressive collection of resources to supplement the class. She is super kind and encouraging, as well as professional and organized. I am looking forward to progressing with my Mandarin.

Amazing teacher, who helped me a lot with my Mandarin. Skills and knowledge that Frances helps you to gain are invaluable. Frances loves her job and cares about the progress of her students. You'll start speaking Mandarin incredibly soon and your path to excellence will be fun and smooth. I highly and sincerely recommend Frances to everyone who wants to master this not-so-easy language.

There are teachers that are simply good at speaking their mother tongue. Jiayun however is that kind of a teacher that knows every trick in the book. She literally knows every online tool and language smartphone app and she’s really trying to include new approaches of language learning. I enjoy her lessons a lot and it makes me feel a little awkward when she‘s better prepared than me 😳

Quedé muy satisfecha con mi primera clase. Me gustó mucho la manera en que la maestra enseña, su atención y la dedicación que mostró durante la sesión. Aprecio especialmente que se tomara el tiempo de preguntarme cuáles son mis intereses y objetivos, y que adaptara la clase en función de ellos. Sentí que la enseñanza fue personalizada y enfocada en lo que realmente quiero aprender. Me gustó mucho su forma de enseñar y, sin duda, continuaré aprendiendo chino con ella. ¡Muchas gracias por una excelente primera clase!

I have studied 7 languages over my lifetime and she is the best teacher I've ever had for teaching a difficult language from scratch. She's shown me alot of language learning techniques I wish I'd known a long time ago, and after 3 years of studying I'm able to have fun engaging in hour long conversations in Mandarin.
