Learn real-life Chinese you can use in restaurants, taxis, shopping and daily conversations Hello! I’m Maura, your Chinese teacher from Chengdu, Sichuan. I’m a certified international Chinese teacher with 5+ years of teaching experience. I’m from Chengdu, the hometown of pandas and hotpot! Learning Chinese can be difficult, especially when you are afraid of making mistakes. With my background in psychology, I create a relaxed and supportive environment to help you speak Chinese with confidence. What can I help you with? • Practical Chinese for travel and daily life Learn useful Chinese for restaurants, taxis, shopping, and real conversations. • Speaking & pronunciation Improve your pronunciation, vocabulary, and natural expressions through conversation practice. • Chinese culture Learn the stories behind Chinese characters, Chinese customs, and Chengdu lifestyle. • Customized lessons Whether you are a beginner or have studied Chinese before, I will design lessons based on your goals. I can also teach Sichuan culture and Sichuan dialect (四川话) if you are interested! My lessons are friendly, patient, and personalized. I will help you correct mistakes naturally, understand Chinese expressions, and build confidence step by step. Learning Chinese is not only about grammar and vocabulary — it is about connecting with people and experiencing a new culture. If you want to travel to China, explore Chinese culture, or speak Chinese more confidently, I’d love to help you! Let’s learn Chinese together — maybe with a cup of tea or Chengdu hotpot! 🐼🌶️

After about 10 lessons and getting to know her, she is a fantastic teacher. She makes sure you understand that lesson before continuing to the next one. Gives me short voice texts though italki, which helps me pronounce the words correctly. EXTREMELY patient with me. Doesn’t try to rush me while I figure out the translation. Very fun and cheerful, makes the class so much more enjoyable.

Maura is a great teacher who is not only friendly but also very knowledgable. When I told her what I wanted to learn at very start of class, she was able to quickly put together a last minute lesson plan that was perfect for my needs and language level! I really enjoy the classes - they are fun and engaging, and they leave me more and more motivated to keep improving. Thanks Maura!
