About Me

∙ 4000+ hours of online teaching experience.

Hello! My name is Stephanie Chung. I am from Taipei, Taiwan. I have been teaching Mandarin Chinese for more than six years in the United States.
Our lessons are going to center around your goals and your needs. My job is to enable you to do most of the talking comfortably and confidently -- we are going explore proper pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and culturally appropriate ways of speaking, to make your messages more natural and clear to native speakers.
Depending on your needs and learning styles, we might work on structured courses based on trusted materials, talk about different topics, and learn through various articles and video clips. We can play games, work on role-playing exercises, have discussions, do interviews and engage in many kinds of activities to help you learn better.
What are your goals? What do you want to improve? Let me know more about you and your studies to help me understand your needs. Can't wait to see you in class!

Comments from my students at Stetson University in my course evaluation:
"Ms. Chung is one of the best teachers I've ever had at Stetson. She really knows how to teach a foreign language. This is probably because she also had to learn English at some point."
"She was incredibly organized every day for class and presented the material in a way that was both challenging yet able to follow."
Comments from private students:
"Stephanie is a phenomenal teacher. She is always extremely well-prepared, attentive to the student’s needs, and overall has a wonderful attitude of encouragement. I love studying Chinese with her. She knows English extremely well, so is able to fluidly address nuances in the meaning of Chinese words and phrases. She is very organized and prepares excellent slides for each lesson. She is the best!"

Stephanie is a fantastic teacher and I knew she would be great since our first lesson together (now going over a year!). She is always well prepared and flexible whether following a set lesson or exploring stories, food terms, or whatever else I'm interested in learning about and she does a great job with improving both my reading and conversational Mandarin - I highly recommend trying a lesson with her if you can!
