"Hi there! My name is Amy, and I’m a native Mandarin speaker from China. I was born and raised there before moving to the U.S. to study at the University of Oregon, where I had the chance to experience new cultures and perspectives. Now, I’m based in NYC. My journey in teaching Chinese started in college when I volunteered at a Chinese culture study center. I love sharing cultures and seeing my students grow—it's such a rewarding process! That’s why I’m here, excited to help you learn Chinese and explore its rich culture. 😃

I'm a patient and effective communicator, and my lessons are fully customized for all levels. Whether you're preparing for the HSK exam, planning a trip to China, studying for business, or just want to improve your conversational skills, I’ve got you covered. I focus on helping you speak naturally and confidently in any situation.

What You’ll Learn in My Lessons:

✅ Basic Chinese grammar, sentence structure, Pinyin & characters

✅ Chinese conversation practice for any occasion

✅ Listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills

✅ HSK 1-6 test preparation

✅ YCT tutorial (for ages 5-18)

Sample Lesson Agenda:

1️⃣ Warm-up conversation

2️⃣ Review of the previous lesson

3️⃣ Introduction of key learning points

4️⃣ Step-by-step interactive exercises & small games

For materials, I primarily use HSK, Easy Steps to Chinese, and YCT for both adults and kids, but I can adjust based on your preferences. I also incorporate videos, audio files, PPT slides, flashcards, and other interactive tools to keep lessons engaging. My goal is to make learning fun and effective, so you’ll stay motivated and enjoy the process!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions—I’m always happy to help. Looking forward to learning together! 🎉" less...
