Hello! I’m Sherry, a passionate and certified Mandarin teacher from southern China.
With over 4 years of dedicated teaching experience and a background in business and finance, I bring both linguistic expertise and real-world professional knowledge to our lessons.
My approach goes beyond textbooks—I strive to make language learning practical, relevant, and culturally enriching.
As an avid traveler who has explored 28 of China's 34 provinces, I love sharing authentic insights into modern Chinese life and regional cultures.
Whether you're starting from zero, preparing for business, or planning a trip, I'm here to help you learn with clarity, confidence, and a personal touch.Me as a Teacher
I've taught over 1,500 online lessons to students across the globe, ranging from complete beginners to advanced speakers.
My expertise includes:
⭐Pronunciation and tone correction
⭐Systematic HSK-based instruction
⭐Conversational fluency training
⭐Practical Business Chinese tailored to professional needs
I also provide travel-focused language guidance to help learners navigate real-life situations in China.
Each lesson is designed to be clear, interactive, and student-centered—focused not only on teaching the language, but also on building your confidence to use it meaningfully in daily, professional, and cultural contexts. My lessons & teaching style
I offer structured yet flexible lessons across six key areas:
⭐Mandarin Pronunciation
⭐Conversational Mandarin
⭐Business & Professional Chinese
⭐HSK-Based Comprehensive Chinese
⭐Hakka Language & Culture
⭐China Travel Assistance
My teaching style is patient, adaptive, and culturally infused. I focus on creating a supportive environment where mistakes are part of learning.
Each course is designed to be practical: we use real-life scenarios, textbooks, and personalized materials. Whether you prefer a well-organized curriculum (like HSK) or a casual conversation format, I adjust my methods to fit your pace and goals.
Together, we’ll make your learning journey both effective and enjoyable.My teaching material

Sherry is consistent and patient. Working with Sherry has really improved my speaking listening reading and writing. I am able to pick up what’s being said from context at time and starting to form my own sentences and thoughts.

Sherry is an amazing and patient teacher. She makes sure to prepare the material according to student needs and level, takes her time to explain everything until you understand and definitely creates an environment where you feel free to speak, make mistakes and practice your Chinese. I have tried multiple teachers on italki trying to find a teacher that would work for me, but after having a class with Sherry, I never looked for a different teacher again!

I had a lesson with Sherry to figure out what my pronunciation problems were as a self-taught learner. Within 30 minutes she found all my issues and showed me how to correct them very patiently.
For anyone with pronunciation problems, you should definitely ask Sherry for help!

I really liked how insightful Sherry's lessons were, especially regarding how radicals form each character and why it is that way through the individual meaning attached to them. This really helps with building intuition about some characters that I hadn't known before.
