About Anni
Hi, I'm Anni. I'm 37 years old.
I was born in southern China and lived in Beijing for 17 years before moving to Japan last year.
I've been teaching Chinese full-time for 11 years, working with students from complete beginners to advanced learners. I speak fluent English and am currently learning Japanese myself, so I truly understand the challenges of learning a new language from scratch.
I've created my own visual PPT materials over the years — designed to be logical, simple, and easy to follow. I especially enjoy working with complete beginners, and most of them can handle real-life situations in Chinese — ordering food, getting around, striking up conversations — within 25–30 hours. That moment when they suddenly realize "wait, I'm actually speaking Chinese" is my favorite part of teaching.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, exploring my city with my dog, and having conversations about culture, society, and everyday life. Having friends from all over the world has made me open-minded, curious, and easy to talk to.
Available Hours (Daily):
7–11pm East Coast ·
4–8pm West Coast
If you're looking for a teacher who actually listens and makes progress feel natural rather than stressful, feel free to send me a message — the first lesson is free.

My Teaching Philosophy:
A language becomes yours when you actually use it — not just study it.
Most students plateau because they spend lessons receiving information instead of speaking. My classes are built around active use from day one. You'll be talking, responding, and expressing real ideas — even as a complete beginner.
What to Expect:
Custom-designed visual lessons, real conversations from day one, and grammar taught through use—not memorization. Most beginners can start handling simple real-life conversations within 3 months. Every lesson is tailored to your goals, whether that's conversation, HSK preparation, or reading and writing.
What I Offer:
• Real-life conversational Chinese
• HSK 1–6 preparation
• Reading and writing support
• Custom-designed visual slides — built for you, not recycled templates
• Lessons tailored to your pace and goals
Who I Teach:
Complete beginners are very welcome. I also work well with intermediate learners who feel stuck and need a fresh approach. If you've tried apps like Duolingo and hit a wall, this is the next step.
First lesson is free — no pressure, just a chance to see if we're a good fit.

I've been taking classes with Anni for more than 3 years, and she is a great and fun teacher. She has really helped me improve my Chinese.
She creates her own slides, which make the grammar and lesson content very clear and easy to understand. Her classes have a great balance of grammar, reading, and conversation practice, and she always gives useful feedback so I know what I need to improve.I met Anni in a language school. I was able to review some of her lessons and see that her dedication as a student transferred to her dedication as a teacher.
I've tried a few Chinese teachers before, but Anni's classes feel much more organized and effective.
One thing I really appreciate is that she remembers what I struggled with in previous lessons and helps me practice those areas again later. It makes me feel like there's a real learning plan behind each class.
She creates a relaxed atmosphere, so I never feel nervous about making mistakes. Our conversations are always interesting because she adapts the lessons to topics I actually enjoy discussing.
Anni also creates her own teaching materials, and you can tell she has put a lot of thought into them. The lessons are structured without feeling rigid, and I can clearly see my progress over time.
Honestly just book the trial lesson, you'll see what I mean.
I am one of Anni’s students from her online group course, and this has been my experience with her lessons:
1. The classes are very well organized. Each lesson builds on the previous one, making everything easy to follow.
2. Every class introduces new vocabulary and grammar concepts, along with example sentences showing how to use them naturally.
3. Anni provides plenty of examples and practice opportunities to help students apply what they learn in real situations.
4. Classes are held every week, and homework is assigned regularly. She checks the homework carefully and gives feedback in a timely manner.
5. Anni explains Chinese grammar very clearly and always gives enough examples to help students understand and use it in conversation.
6. She also teaches colloquial expressions and explains how Chinese people naturally speak in different situations.Anni is very kind, patient, and fun. In every lesson, I have plenty of opportunities to speak, and she always gives very useful feedback to help me improve. Her teaching style is very supportive and human-centered, which makes me feel comfortable making mistakes without fear of being judged. Through our lessons, I’ve become much more confident speaking Chinese, and little by little, I’ve also become more fluent. I’m very happy to have found a teacher who truly understands my needs and has also helped me become more patient and confident in my learning journey.
Anni is an excellent Chinese teacher. I’ve been learning with her for about two years, and she has made a significant impact on my progress. She is calm and explains concepts in a way that’s clear and easy to follow. I appreciate that she asks about my interests and keeps the lessons relaxed and fun.
Anni’s Chinese lessons are really well thought out and carefully crafted so that you gain a good understanding of the language and its grammatical structures within the context of useful everyday language and phrases. She has taken care to ensure that her slides communicate both the overall meaning and the literal translation of sentences so that you can really get into the mindset of a native speaker as you learn. I have found that this approach has helped me to build a deeper understanding and I find it more interesting and engaging than memorisation and spaced repetition techniques I have tried in the past, which helps to keep me motivated to continue. I have also found it easier to recall information and reproduce the language when it comes to practicing my speaking. I really like the way that Anni has built up knowledge of certain vocabulary and structures so that you feel like you are making fast progress in being able to express yourself. I also like the way that she challenges you to use the new knowledge straight away so that you are actively participating rather than just passively receiving. I think her style of teaching really stimulates my brain to understand and retain the new information without feeling overloaded. I would thoroughly recommend Anni’s excellent course to anyone looking to learn Mandarin, whether you are someone looking to rapidly acquire the language for business use, or a more casual learner.
