Hi! I’m Joanna, a native Mandarin speaker from Taiwan with a degree in English.
I specialize in helping adult learners speak real, natural Mandarin, especially for daily conversation, travel, and workplace communication.
My classes are practical, relaxed, and packed with cultural tips that you won’t find in textbooks.
I also speak fluent English, so don’t worry if you’re just starting out!
My teaching philosophy is rooted in "Natural Language Acquisition"—we learn best through meaningful context, not rote memorization.
Book a trial class and let’s get started.
🗣️ 給英文學習者: 我是擁有10年實戰經歷與 TESOL 認證的成人英語教練。我的專長是幫助「已經有基礎,但無法自然開口」的成人,擺脫死背單字文法的無效循環,真正把英文內化成你的溝通工具。

🇹🇼 Mandarin: I focus on practical, real-life conversations. You will learn the exact Mandarin spoken on the streets of Taipei, not textbook sentences.
🗣️ 英文口說: 我的教學主要偏向類母語學習法,亦即我們不會像學校那樣背單字跟文法,也不會上課本。而是透過大量的聽讀自然吸收讓大腦建立一個英文系統,模擬我們學中文的方式來學英文,讓你自然而然用英文思考。
我專注於指導「有強烈學習動機」的成人學生,提供最高品質的專屬一對一指導
🔥 不用背單字文法!透過情境聽讀,自然建立英文腦,近300位學生實證有效。
💡 曾任知名補習班全美語教師/多產業翻譯經驗,教你「真正用得到」的職場&生活英文。
🌍 語言是鑰匙:輕鬆交友、自助旅遊、看懂美劇,世界比你想的更近。
「也許你缺的不是時間,而是方法。」讓我幫你省下10年摸索,學會「真正有用的英文」。
🇹🇼 Mandarin Lessons: We use real-world materials, including my YouTube travel videos, to discuss topics ranging from daily life to cultural insights. Fun, relaxed, and highly practical!

Sound Natural in Mandarin (Daily Talk, Real Expression, Taiwan Accent)
Joanna did a great job. She used quality learning materials and approaches teaching in a very practical and enthusiastic way. I would recommend her to any English speaker who is keen to learn mandarin.
Joanna is a kind, engaging, and very knowledgeable teacher. My mandarin has improved dramatically in a very short time just by taking a few lessons with her. She is very helpful with understanding pronunciation, tones, sentence structure and also the cultural aspects of the mandarin language that let you sound like a real person and not a dictionary. I would HIGHLY recommend.

I really appreciate how we always have classes around my specific curiosities and how open Joanna is to discuss a range of topics
