Hi, everyone! I am Jack, a trained linguist. I created a Youtube channel for my students: Panda Knows Linguistics. I talk about Chinese/Japanese/linguistics there. If you are interested in my teaching style, please feel free to check it out! I am from Chongqing, China and have been living in Colorado, USA since 2009. I speak Chinese, Japanese, and English fluently. I am a passionate linguist and have learned many languages including Latin, Ancient Greek, Swahili, Finnish and Swedish. I have been teaching Chinese and Japanese since 2010.
*Notice* I am not accepting students younger than college level (18 years old) due to lack of such training. Sorry for the inconvenience.Ja jako nauczyciel
I hold two Masters degrees from the University of Colorado - Japanese Language and Civilization and Linguistics. The former provided me with extensive training in translation, interpretation, and literary analysis from both historical and modern perspectives. Linguistics offered me the theoretical and practical basis for teaching a foreign language. I am especially interested in applying phonetic and phonological strategies to classroom teaching in order to prepare students for a native-like pronunciation and intuition. I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker with Japanese heritage. With the educational training mentioned above, I am capable of teaching both languages.Moje lekcje & Styl nauczania
I believe language learning should be fun for both students and teachers. No matter you want to perfect Chinese or Japanese skills after a few years of learning, or want to start from zero without any previous background, I can help! I will be a language learning facilitator to encourage you to be the center of your own learning. I will guide you through the complexity of grammars and diverse aspects of conversational situations, and make you take the initiative to digest the knowledge. Visual, audible, and multimedia materials will be incorporated into my lessons and linguistically informed methods will be used to ensure your understanding and skills are sound, solid, and crystal clear.Moje materiały dydaktyczne

I don't normally write reviews after having done a couple lessons with a teacher, but what I had with Jack today was MINDBLOWINGLY good. He definitely deserves at least twice what he gets here for today's lesson!
We had speaking practice and thanks to Jack's expertise in phonology, he looked up what sounds are available in my language and compared them to Chinese. Then he helped me practice and explained how is it that even if I hear the difference between his and mine version, both are correct. The explanation had pretty much an academic aspect to it, so I'm super glad I got a linguistics graduate as a teacher.
Huge thanks, Jack!

Can't say enough great things about Jack as a teacher. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I am sure that his unique skills as a linguist further contribute to helping me understand not just the "what" of Chinese, but more importantly the "why" and "how". Thanks for another great lesson!

Jack is EXCELLENT. His genuine enthusiasm about language learning is infectious! Re: Chinese pronunciation (which was the most intimidating part of learning Chinese for me), Jack gave detailed explanations about tongue placement which helped me a lot. Looking forward to the next one. :)

Jack is awesome! His rigorous background in linguistics and interpretation are uncommon among Chinese teachers, and they prove to be huge assets during our lessons. He doesn't just teach "official" rules to you, but really helps you understand and use the language naturally, embracing both nuance and practicality as important aspects of learning a language and culture. He has also been wonderful about customizing lessons, which is critical for someone like me with an atypical journey learning Mandarin. On top of that, he is just such a fun, positive person who is a joy to speak to and learn from. So glad I found Jack! And you will be too, if you take a class with him! 😁
