Hello! I’m Xiaojuan (Cady), a US-licensed Mandarin teacher with 10 years teaching experience in international schools in Vietnam, Thailand, and China, and 4+ years teaching online.
I teach kids, teens, and adults, specializing in HSK, YCT, HSKK, and conversational Mandarin. I create a safe and friendly learning environment, and I give GoodNotes class notes after every lesson to help students review and improve.
I also have 2 years part-time business experience, so I can help with business trips and situations in China.
I’m building my own Mandarin learning community now, and I enjoy hiking, gym, Muay Thai, aerial yoga, and cooking. I recently completed a 7-day trekking adventure in Nepal.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I love helping students learn Mandarin and understand Chinese culture. I teach kids, teens, and adults, including HSK, YCT, and HSKK preparation, as well as conversational Mandarin.
Outside teaching, I enjoy hiking, cycling, yoga, jogging, Muay Thai, and cooking. I also love discussing culture, sports, history, and philosophy.
I’m excited to guide you on your language learning journey while sharing ideas and experiences. Let’s learn together and make every lesson fun and meaningful! My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I create a fun, supportive, friendly,and interactive environment where students feel confident to speak and make progress. I use a communicative approach, focusing on real-life language use through speaking, listening, and cultural understanding.
Each lesson is customized to your level, goals, and learning style. I combine authentic materials, videos, games, and visuals to make every class interesting and effective.
After each session, I share GoodNotes class notes so you can review and keep track of your learning. My goal is to help you speak Mandarin naturally and confidently in daily life, school, or business situations.My teaching material
