About Me

InterestsWritingTravelMusicBusiness & FinanceHistory
A linguist by training, a coach by profession, and a traveler by heart across cultures, careers, and mental spaces. I speak 5 languages, have lived in 8 countries, and traveled to 30+. I spent 6 years in linguistics research, focusing on phonetics and neurolinguistics; my first language is Mandarin and I grew up monolingual, but English is now my main language, and I learned Cantonese, Russian, and German from scratch as an adult. Language teaching is part of my coaching work on self-empowerment. Learning a language is one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself 🧡 More about me at heyjinluo.com, @heyjinluo on Instagram and other social media💃🏻

I can’t recommend Jin highly enough! She puts 100% effort into her lessons and I have benefitted so much as a result. I originally approached Jin for some extra support with Chinese knowledge and since then I think my Chinese and my confidence in speaking it has dramatically increased. If you are looking for a teacher that can provide enjoyable lessons, gives you constructive feedback, tailors the lesson to your learning style and level, goes beyond the textbook and reliable, then you have found her here.

It's so rare to find a teacher who is so knowledgeable in Chinese linguistics AND so fun to talk to. Jin is a very supportive and patient teacher. She uses a variety of teaching materials to make her lessons fun and enjoyable. I'd rate her lessons 10 stars if I could.

Very happy with the Cantonese lessons from Jin. Provides good class-material to be used during the lessons. She is very patient, for exampling when checking my pronunciation. Happy with the Google Sheet provided with the words/sentences she has taught me.

Honestly, she's one of the best teachers I've had. Incredibly smart and knowledgeable. I can tell she has a profound understanding of her own language.

Jin is an exceptional teacher. She is the full package if you're looking for someone to establish friendly rapport with, without getting too personal. She speaks clearly, slowly and provides ample talking time. She takes your interests into consideration and she makes you feel at ease even if you are completely out of your comfort zone. Her instructions are to the point. Her resources are credible and the lesson plan is well-thought out. It was a great privilege!

Jin is knowledgeable about the differences in both Mandarin and Cantonese. When she knows you've caught on, she'll challenge you by asking you questions and then after you've responded with answers, she'll pull the switcheroo. Be prepared to ask her the same questions too! The social interactions will keep you engaged, time will fly by quickly. Even if you've forgotten or have difficulty pronouncing something, she'll help guide you. It's always fun discussing and learning about the differences between different cultures. It's truly a great pleasure to have 1-on-1 lessons with Jin!
