Hello, future friends! I’m your Chinese teacher, from Xi’an, China. For the past four years on italki, I’ve taught students worldwide, sharing the beauty of Chinese. My own language adventure has taken me from China to teaching in Tanzania, Africa, and now to Japan, where I'm currently working on my Ph.D. in Linguistics.
As a language learner myself, I understand the challenges and joys of mastering a new tongue. In our lessons, we’ll move beyond textbooks to master real-world, authentic Chinese. We’ll also explore language logic, cultural stories, and even Chinese calligraphy (my 10-year passion). I aim to be your teacher, guide, and friend. Let's get started!

It was my first ever speaking lesson and Lucy was incredibly kind and patient in helping me feel less nervous and encouraged me to speak.
As a teacher myself, I know how challenging it can be to teach students who are new to the language but Lucy was a complete professional. Will definitely book again.
