About Me

Hi! I’m currently living and studying in Sweden, and teaching Chinese has become a really nice way for me to share my language, meet new people, and also support myself a bit while I’m abroad.

I’m a very easygoing person, nothing in my class is scary or stressful. I like to keep things relaxed, friendly, and practical. If you’re a total beginner, don’t worry, I’ll guide you step by step. If you already know some Chinese, we can level up together in a fun, conversational way.

I enjoy getting to know my students and understanding why you want to learn Chinese. Whether it’s for travel, school, work, or just curiosity, I always try to adapt the class to your goals and pace. I’m patient, I explain things clearly, and I love making lessons feel natural and real, like you’re learning with a friend instead of in a strict classroom.

If you’re looking for a supportive, open-minded teacher who makes Mandarin feel simple and enjoyable, I’m here for you. Let’s learn together — at your speed, in your style.

Education

I’m currently completing my Master’s degree in Computer Science in Sweden, focusing on software engineering and modern development practices. Before moving abroad, I worked for several years in a professional environment, which helped me build solid communication and teaching skills. Studying in an international program has also given me experience working with people from many different backgrounds. This has made me even more patient, adaptable, and good at explaining complex ideas in simple, clear ways.

Experience / Qualifications

I have experience tutoring friends and classmates in both Chinese and English, and I’ve helped complete beginners become comfortable with basic pronunciation, tones, and everyday conversation. My background in communication-heavy work also trained me to be clear, structured, and supportive when guiding others. As a native Chinese speaker who has lived abroad and learned multiple languages myself, I understand the challenges language learners face and know how to make the learning process smooth, motivating, and enjoyable.

I tend to teach the language in a slow-paced manner and in a casual and fun way. Thus it would be a good fit for those interested in the Chinese language/culture/customs and would like to know more about it.
Those seeking self-improvement or something new in their life would be most welcomed in this class.
Speaking from a 26-year-old piano beginner!

From time to time, I might also introduce Shanghainese, which is the Shanghai Dialect, for comparison and for fun! Since it's very different from the official language.

I'm always open to discussions about the expectations, the content, meeting time and places,, etc...

My main purpose of me here is to do something interesting for both of us, and potentially to become tutors for each other!
