Hi, I am Sally. I come from Taiwan. I am a native Mandarin and Taiwanese speaker. I was a nurse working in a teaching hospital for 5 years. I recently moved back to Taiwan from the UK after completing my master's degree in education. I like reading, traveling, cooking, knitting, swimming, hiking, and yoga. I am patient and willing to help!Me as a Teacher
I have more than 4 years of experience in individualized Chinese tutoring, which includes writing, listening and speaking; especially, helping with pronunciation.

Apart from conducting online lessons, I am experienced in Resume/CV editing. Finally, I am passionate about teaching! Learning Chinese can be hard, but it does not have to be.

Mandarin Chinese TutorWithin the past 2 years, I had educated students from over 15 countries on Mandarin Chinese, English and health promotion related issues. This included the experience of teaching face to face and online tutoring.

Sally is definitely the best teacher I’ve had in any language. She really works hard to make sure I understand everything and doesn’t make me feel bad when I forget something. Sally makes learning Chinese fun and I look forward to our classes.

Oh wow - I am SO excited after this lesson. Sally made me feel comfortable and excited to start this learning journey. I appreciated her casual and easy demeanor and it is very clear that she knows exactly what she is doing. I even got some homework to do until next time - first time I have been excited for homework in many years. :-) 謝謝你莎莉
