Hi!  大家好， I’m Xiaojuan （Cady）from China. I’ve been teaching Mandarin and English for about 10 years in China, Vietnam, and Thailand. I’m a US-licensed Chinese teacher and love helping students speak Mandarin with confidence.

I studied Germanistik (German Studies) in China and spent a year in Germany as an Au Pair, which gave me great cross-cultural experience.

In our trial lesson, we’ll get to know your goals and find the best way to learn that suits your style. I’m friendly, patient, and always make sure learning feels relaxed and enjoyable.

Let’s start your language journey together!

In this class, we’ll focus on real conversations to help you speak Chinese more naturally and confidently. You’ll learn how to express yourself in daily life, travel, and casual chats.

I’ll also share fun topics from Chinese social media, new slang words, and interesting stories about life in China. Every class is relaxed and friendly — we can talk about anything you like, such as culture, food, hobbies, or travel.
Join me to enjoy learning Chinese in a simple, fun, and comfortable way.
