Do you find yourself struggling to understand natural conversations even after months of study? Are you tired of being stuck in the "understanding but not speaking" phase? If you want to speak Chinese more naturally, fluently, and confidently, you’ve come to the right place.
你好 (Nǐ hǎo)! I’m Lynn, a native Chinese speaker living in Hangzhou. I am a certified professional holding both the Mandarin Proficiency Certificate and the CTCSOL (Certificate for Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages). With a Master’s Degree in Education and over 10 years of experience in public schools, I bring deep expertise in student management and personalized instruction to our sessions.

Me as a Teacher
As a dedicated educator, I place great importance on lesson preparation and organization. I enrich each session by expanding on vocabulary and topics from the textbook, while also tailoring my teaching methods to suit your unique personality.
Why Learn with Me?
✅AI-Powered Learning: I integrate AI tools to make your lessons more efficient, engaging, and personalized.
✅Comprehensive Support: You will receive detailed study materials after every session to support your review.
✅Psychological Insight: My passion for psychology and parenting helps me understand the emotional side of language learning. I create a supportive, "safe-to-fail" environment where you can practice without fear.
My lessons & teaching style
🗣️Oral Communication & Fluency
My lessons focus specifically on helping you "open your mouth," express yourself clearly, and build real-world confidence. To ensure your Mandarin sounds natural and authentic, I use active techniques:
✨Shadowing & Retelling: To build muscle memory and natural rhythm.
✨Impromptu Dialogue: To bridge the gap between textbook materials and real-life scenarios. 👂Master Listening with my "Three-Step Approach"
1️⃣ Gist Listening:focus on the main idea through "blind listening."
2️⃣ Detail spotting: design specific questions to help you pinpoint key information.
3️⃣ Text Analysis: analyze the text together to clarify new words and complex structures.

I have been taking classes with Ling老师 for the past few weeks and I am still continuing with her. She is always punctual which I truly appreciate. What stands out the most is how she recognizes my struggles and knows exactly how to help me overcome them. Thanks to her marvelous approach, I have been able to apply what I have learned in her class into real life situations with confidence. She creates an engaging and dynamic learning environment filled with interesting facts that make every lesson exciting and enjoyable. Her positive energy keeps me motivated and she makes learning feel comfortable and fun. I feel like I am constantly improving.

Another great lesson! The materials are so thoughtful and creative, and I got a chance to use very colloquially used language.
