Since college graduation in 2012, I have worked as a teacher, a B2B sales, IT Project Manager (PMP certified) in the education and technology industries.

I love exercising such as badminton, basketball, and extreme sports.
I love working in IT. Being tech-savvy myself, not only I can be a language tutor but even your IT support. :D
By introducing and utilizing various tools and resources of the Chinese internet, I will be able to assist your online and offline language learning and understand Chinese culture in a better way.
丰富多元的工作和生活经历,让我能轻松地与不同职业和不同性格的人愉快、开放和有趣地对话。
热爱科技、语言、教育和运动,希望能和你聊有意思的话题 :)
Me as a Teacher
Thanks to auto-correction, Grammarly, and other tools, using (typing) another language has never been easier. But I believe language is not just vocabulary, syntax, or pronunciation - the understanding of cultural differences and mindset are the keys to use languages in a better way.
So with my talk-to-anyone communication experiences and a good knowledge of Chinese and Western (mainly American) culture, I can help with
1. Explaining subtle differences of words in contexts
2. Colloquialize (or localize if you will) your speaking
3. Day-to-day down-to-earth conversation mock-ups, including but not limited to small talks in a bar or business Chinese
在掌握了一定的词汇和语法后,对不同文化和思维的了解会让语言学习者走得更远。
My lessons & teaching style
- "i+1" (Stephen Krashen's Theory of Second Language Acquisition) using Graded reading books for you to input massively as well as practice.
- Google docs to keep track of your learning progress. (Through the GFW, introducing materials on Youtube)
- Effective practice guided by scientific memorizing techniques.
You will soon be able to apply what you've learned in my class to daily communication in no time.

After many lessons with Chuan, my Chinese learning skyrocketed. Like any beginner, I came in having poor pronunciation, knew only a few characters, and could speak only on basic terms. But now we finished reading two different books without pinyin while also discussing the content in Chinese. Last lesson were even able to talk about people's different views in life. It's unbelievable how much I have achieved with Chuan老师 help and I'm very excited to reach fluency with her guidance.

It is so hard to believe that in just 3 months I have been able to make such great progress. Every lesson with Chuan gives me more and more vocabulary and confidence in not only creating sentences, but now speaking them with a rhythm.... rather than the painful one word pause, one word pause sentences...

Chuan is an excellent teacher. Her lesson was challenging, interesting and enjoyable. During the lesson she corrected my mispronunciation of words, helped me with proper word selection and grammar, and engaged me in a lively discussion of about athletics. I really enjoyed this lesson and I look forward to studying with her again in the immediate future. Thank you, laoshi!

I had an awesome first class with Chuan!! She is enthusiastic, interesting, and encouraging! She immediately made me feel at ease despite my initial nervousness to speak. I highly recommend her and am looking forward to our next class.
