About James
Hi, I’m James. I’ve spent the past 16 years speaking to people, leading conversations, and connecting with people from different backgrounds. Along the way, I discovered something I really enjoy: helping people find their voice.
That’s one reason I love teaching Mandarin. I don’t want my students to simply “know Chinese”—I want them to actually use it, enjoy conversations, and feel confident when speaking with real people.
My lessons are relaxed, practical, and personalized to you. We’ll talk about things that matter to you, practice real-life situations, and learn naturally along the way. Mistakes are welcome here—they’re part of learning.
If you’re looking for someone who can help you not only learn Mandarin, but also become a more confident communicator, I’d love to meet you.

Instead of only teaching the obvious, he generously shares the deeper insights and practical details that many people overlook. His explanations help you understand not just what to do, but why it works.
