About Me
你好！Hello everyone!
Curiosity and a positive attitude will help you get through the plateaus, tedium and rough spots that always accompany language learning while you enjoy the ride.
Greetings from Yan ， a teacher with more than 1500 teaching hours (online & offline ) experience :)
About me:
I am a native Chinese and speak Standard Mandarin, Cantonese and English.
Since learning Chinese has been a very popular choice, therefore, armed with my strong background of knowledge of Mandarin Chinese language, I started my Mandarin coaching since 2015 in one on one or group coaching basis, my students are mainly expats from all over the world.
I am a firm believer that “ you live a new life for every new language you speak.” I am Passionate in teaching, friendly, scrupulous, patient, empathy. A Movie, music , animal lover.
My expertise:
Pinyin ( Do you want to be able to type in Chinese on your phone or computer? Then you need to learn pinyin. Do you want to be able to say new words without getting a native speaker to read out each character for you a million times until you can remember it? Then you need pinyin. Do you want to be able to consistently speak in the standard dialect so people from around China can actually understand you? Pinyin was created for exactly this purpose. )

I want to express my warmest thanks to teacher Yan, she is the most professional, talented, dedicated and exceptional teacher and the most likable person that you can find. She totally cares about you as a student and as a person. Teacher Yan will evaluate your Chinese skills and will go back to whatever you need to really master the language. Teacher Yan really focuses on the student to master the Chinese language starting from the most basic knowledge the right pronunciation of every Chinese sound, she will not stop until you reach a decent level of pronunciation and will help you with any possible problem that you cand find during your learning process. Teacher Yan helps a lot after class with tons of super valuable audios that you can listen to again and again wherever you are until you reach a better level of confidence in your pronunciation skills. I'm so happy to have the opportunity to be a Teacher Yan student after the end of every lesson I'm looking forward to having my next lesson. Teacher Yan will become a friend and a magnificent resource in your journey of learning the Chinese Language.
