I was born in the north-east (东北) of China and I grew up in Jiangsu (江苏) with a very neutral 普通话 accent. I have lived in the UK for a while, with a master's degree in Anthropology with distinction from the University of Oxford. Now I live in Melbourne in Australia.
My hobbies:
Belly dancing, Salsa dancing, Bachata, Tango, Pilate, Recorder, playing with my mechanical keyboard, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Singing Bossa Nova/Jazz, listening to podcasts about health, mental health, neural science, cultures, visiting museums, learning Portuguese, exploring music from different cultures...
Tôi với tư cách là giáo viên
I have worked as a teaching assistant in the language centres of a Chinese university and a British university, where I organised a lot of Chinese and English language teaching activities. I have also volunteered in some language exchange programmes, where I won an award for being an excellent language buddy. I have experience working with students from all over the world and I am good at understanding non-native Chinese speakers' Chinese. Last year, I passed the written exam for Mandarin teaching by CTCSOL.
Phong cách dạy & bài học của tôi
I plan my lessons based on my student's individual needs. You are very welcome to contact me to talk about your request. Here are some possibilities of what our class would be like:
1. We can focus on one textbook, your word list or your own text, and we use it as a conversation generator instead of text to read. You might have no trouble with reading the text, but it's more important to really be able to talk about the topics of the texts and use the vocabulary flexibly.
2. We can watch a video together of your interest (e.g. Peppa Pig) and parse the sentences one by one. By the end, you will be able to understand and talk like the video.
3. We can play a game together talking in Chinese

Really enjoyed talking to Yidan today - she makes learning Chinese a lot of fun which is incredibly important, and even put together a really detailed document after the lesson, highlighting new vocabulary we had used and correcting mistakes that I had made during the class. She is bubbly and energic and I highly recommend her classes!

Yidan is an excellent and highly professional teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed our all too brief introductory lesson. She has a vibrant personality and her command of English is first rate. I would, without hesitation, recommend her to anyone wishing to improve their Chinese.

Learning Chinese anatomy with Yidan exceeded my expectations. As a native speaker, she delivers authentic pronunciation that textbooks can't match. What impressed me most? She recorded personalized audio of new vocabulary after our lesson—going above and beyond to ensure I master proper tones. Her communication is exceptional: lightning-fast message responses and crystal-clear explanations that make complex concepts click. While we had minor technical hiccups (wrong Zoom link, occasional connection issues), Yidan's professionalism shone through with quick solutions. Her patience and active listening create the perfect learning environment. If you want results beyond the classroom, Yidan's dedication makes the difference.
