Passionate Chinese Teacher with 10+ Years in Southeast Asia Hi! I’m a Chinese teacher specializing in helping Thai and English-speaking students break through the "Chinese is hard" mindset. With over a decade of experience—including 3 years at Beijing’s CLE and 8+ years in Bangkok—I understand the unique challenges learners face here. My secret? A *relaxed yet results-driven* approach. Whether you love sports, movies, or just want to chat daily, I’ll tailor lessons to spark your confidence. Let’s make Mandarin feel natural together! *(P.S. 我的学生常说:“原来中文可以这么有趣!”)* I have been engaged in teaching Chinese as a foreign language for more than ten years with great passion and gained wide acknowledgement from my student. My teaching style is featured by relaxation with incentive-oriented teaching methods, creating a pleasant environment for the students. The relaxed class atmosphere can help the students overcome the psychological hurdle of "Chinese is difficult to learn. However, I am also strict with the students in some key issues. It is vital for the students to build up their confidence and get bold enough to speak Chinese. By using the incentive-oriented teaching method and encouraging them to speak Chinese, I relax the class atmosphere, pointing out their mistakes explicitly and encouraging their good points. The students gradually love Chinese when their passion for it is triggered.

A year ago today I started classes with Andy, and it was the best decision I ever made. Thank you for giving 2021 so much meaning. I will celebrate by learning some more Chinese and continue trying to make you proud :)

I've been studying Mandarin for a few years now with many different teachers and Andy is one of the most supportive teachers I've ever had the fortune to come across. He adapts everything to my needs and takes my opinion on board. He is incredibly professional and his passion for teaching shines through in every class. I feel incredibly grateful to have him as my teacher.

Had another great lesson with Andy, whom I've been learning with for over a year. He's really easy and fun to talk to and explains everything with great detail and passion. I can feel speaking confidence growing very fast. Thanks a lot!

Andy is now my Chinese teacher and mentor for quite some time and I really enjoyed spending the time together with him in each lesson. His incomparable teaching skills and his ability to see his learner with his current needs are just wonderful - Andy, thanks for all your efforts.

I really enjoyed the lesson. Teacher Zhang created an encouraging atmosphere from the start, which made practicing pronunciation much less intimidating. We covered pinyin and some beginner vocabulary, and every explanation was clear, detailed, and easy to follow. I especially appreciated the precise corrections and the patience shown throughout the lesson.
