I currently teach Early Development Mandarin and love helping both kids and adults learn Chinese in a way that feels natural, fun, and totally doable.

Mandarin with a Twist: Learn Chinese from Someone Who Actually Gets It
Hey there! I’m not a native Chinese speaker—and that’s exactly why I might be the perfect tutor for you.
I’ve been through the ups, the downs, the wrong tones, the mysterious characters, and all the “wait… what does THAT mean?” moments of learning Mandarin. And now, I’m here to help you skip the confusion and start making real progress—with a few laughs along the way.
What You'll Get:
Explanations that actually make sense (no confusing grammar-speak!)
️ Speaking practice that won’t make you sweat
Customized lessons for total beginners, curious minds, or semi-fluent dabblers
Fun cultural tidbits, real-life phrases, and yes—we’ll talk about food
A judgment-free zone where messing up is part of the fun
Whether you’re 10, 30, or 73, and just curious about Chinese, I’ll help you learn Mandarin in a way that’s chill, clear, and way less scary than you think. Come for the tones, stay for the terrible jokes and “aha!” moments.
Let’s learn Chinese like humans—not textbooks.
