🎙️ Speak Real Mandarin from Day 1 | Exclusive Podcast & Vocabulary Lists Hello! ¡Hola! 你好 Nǐ hǎo! I'm Chia, a Vancouver-based Mandarin instructor with over 12 years of experience and a Master’s in Cultural Studies. Certified in Business Chinese, I specialize in professional communication and cross-cultural bridge-building. I am dedicated to helping learners at all levels move from the basics to mastery with clarity and confidence. Whether you're learning Mandarin to connect with your partner's family, explore Chinese culture, or simply challenge yourself, I'll make sure every lesson feels relevant, practical, and built around you. What makes my lessons different: ⇢ Fully personalized materials & slides : custom-designed for your level, pace, and interests. No generic textbooks. ⇢ A clear learning roadmap : every session is structured around your real progress, so you always know where you're going. ⇢ Cultural depth : I bring both Taiwanese and Chinese cultural context into lessons, so you're not just learning the language, you're understanding the world behind it. ⇢ Both Traditional & Simplified characters : you choose what fits your goals. I cover everything from daily conversation and pronunciation to grammar, listening, and professional Mandarin, always in a warm, structured, and encouraging environment. Ready to start speaking from Day 1? Send me a message, I'd love to hear about your goals. 📨 I'm now offering lesson subscriptions (with discount) for those looking for a consistent study routine.

Another fantastic lesson with Chia! I love how we explore a little bit of everything in each class: vocabulary, grammar, cultural topics, and interesting facts. Chia always provides detailed personalized notes after each lesson, which are incredibly helpful.

Chia always gives detailed Google Docs regarding the lesson material with clear pinyin and optional English translations. She was slightly late but she let me know well in advance and still taught the 60 minutes. I would recommend Chia and she is one of the best Chinese teachers I've ever booked a lesson with.

I really enjoyed my first Chinese lesson with Chia. She introduced me to pinyin and tones in a very clear and structured way, which made it easy to understand as a beginner. We also practiced a variety of vocabulary at the same time, which was fun and practical. Chia was excellent at explaining concepts, and her feedback with tones was patient and encouraging, which made me feel comfortable practicing. I'm looking forward to our next lesson !
