About Charis

Hi, I’m Charis! Growing up as a Filipino in Taiwan, I learned traditional Mandarin the same way locals did—through years of real-world immersion in school and daily life. This experience shaped not only my fluency in reading, writing, and speaking Mandarin but also my understanding of how to teach it effectively.

I specialize in traditional characters and Zhuyin (Bopomofo), tools that were key to my own language journey. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to deepen your skills, I focus on practical, engaging lessons that meet you where you are. Learning Mandarin doesn’t have to be intimidating—it’s a skill you can build step by step, and I’m here to guide you through it.

What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
Unique Background: As a Filipino who grew up in Taiwan, I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges of learning Mandarin as a non-native speaker. This allows me to connect with students and address their specific struggles effectively.

Mastery of Traditional Mandarin:
- I specialize in teaching traditional characters and Zhuyin, the foundational system I used to become fluent in traditional Mandarin, which provides a clear and authentic way to build strong literacy and pronunciation skills.

Holistic Understanding:
- My ability to bridge cultures enables me to explain concepts in relatable terms, making complex ideas easier to grasp.

Who the Lessons Are For:
- Students of any age or level, from beginners to those with some Mandarin background.
- Individuals interested in learning traditional Chinese for academic, professional, or personal reasons.
- Learners who want to improve their tones, reading, and writing skills in traditional Mandarin.

Those seeking a tutor who understands the journey of mastering a language as a second language learner.
I’m committed to guiding students on their Mandarin-learning journey with patience, enthusiasm, and personalized strategies. Let's work together to achieve your language goals!
