About Alice
Hello, I'm Alice (云锦 is my Chinese name).
I am a native Chinese speaker, and I also studied psychology for two years. That background helps me understand how adults learn a new language—patiently, step by step, without pressure.
My teaching style is relaxed, encouraging, and practical. I focus on real-life conversation, so you can use Chinese immediately. Mistakes are welcome; they are simply part of the journey.
A little about me personally: I love dancing, working out, watching movies, and K-pop dancing. These interests often pop up in my lessons—for example, we might talk about a movie plot, practice dance-related vocabulary, or share workout routines in Chinese. Learning becomes more fun when it connects to what you enjoy.
I am committed to your progress. Every lesson is prepared with clear goals, and I always give you kind but helpful correction. My students describe me as patient, warm, and easy to talk to.
Whether you are a complete beginner or have some basic Chinese, I invite you to book a trial lesson. Let me show you that speaking Chinese can be simple, useful, and enjoyable.
I look forward to meeting you!

My teaching method:
I focus on practical, everyday Chinese. Instead of memorizing grammar rules, you will learn phrases and sentences you can use immediately – for travel, work, or talking with friends.
My techniques:
Speaking first: Each lesson starts with 5–10 minutes of free conversation.
Repetition & correction: I gently correct your pronunciation and let you repeat until it feels natural.
Real materials: We use menus, screenshots, news headlines, or short videos – whatever keeps it interesting.
Pinyin support: Pinyin is always available, so you don't need to learn characters right away.
A typical 45-minute lesson plan:
Warm-up (5 min): How are you? What did you do today?
Review (5 min): Quick practice of last lesson's key sentences.
New content (20 min): 3–5 new phrases/sentence patterns + role-play.
Practice (10 min): You speak; I listen and correct.
Wrap-up (5 min): Summary and a small homework (e.g., record yourself saying 3 sentences).
What sets me apart:
No pressure, no perfectionism. Mistakes are part of learning.
Customized lessons – tell me what you need (HSK, business, travel, daily chat), and I prepare accordingly.
Patience and encouragement. I speak slowly and clearly.
Who my lessons are for:
Level: Complete beginners to lower-intermediate (HSK 1–3).
Who: Adults or older teenagers who want to speak Chinese confidently in real life.
Not for: Advanced learners or those who need intensive character writing training.

Details
你好,我是云锦,你也可以叫我 Alison。
我的名字是云锦。“云”代表灵动、柔软、自由、开阔的视野、吉祥和包容。“锦”代表品质、高贵、美好和丰富多彩。这就是我名字的寓意。
我性格温和,也有点小幽默。我在英国学习生活了很多年,一直在英企工作,所以我的英语非常熟练。但我最爱的,还是自己的母语——中文。
我可以教日常汉语口语,让你在旅行、交朋友时都能自然表达;也可以教商务社交口语和中文商务写作,帮助你在职场中更自信地使用中文。
生活中我喜欢旅游、跳舞、看电影,也一直保持着健康的健身习惯。如果你也喜欢这些,我们可以边聊兴趣边学中文。
你愿意和我一起学中文吗?
