💡 What I can provide

→ Taiwanese Mandarin

→ Support in all levels!
I can teach students in different levels. If you are not sure what level you are in, we can have a trial lesson to know it better! You will have a detailed report after the trial lesson, with your strength, weakness and some suggestions on how I can help you better.

→ Customized lessons
Feel free to send any request, questions, or anything you want to know via Message in the Verbling platform. I will discuss with you and make a customized plan for your requests. It would be great if you have already known what you would like to learn (e.g. skills in listening/reading/writing/speaking, test preps, or any certain topics you want to learn about Mandarin and/or Taiwanese/Chinese culture).

→ Explanations in Mandarin, English or Japanese

Hi, this is Alex from Taiwan!

As someone who has learned multiple foreign languages, I understand the importance of not just learning the language itself, but also immersing oneself in the culture. This is why I offer a variety of Mandarin lessons, including conversation practice, intercultural communication, reading comprehension, and even calligraphy. Whatever you want to learn, I will do my best to help you achieve your goals.

I have been teaching for over 5 years and have taught more than 600 students from 30+ countries. In addition to private tutoring, I have also provided employee comprehensive training in the travel industry. My university degree is in applied foreign languages, with a focus on English, linguistics, and second language acquisition theories. I also spent a year studying in Japan as an exchange student. While my current job is not related to Mandarin education, I work as a Mandarin teacher, content blogger, and Chinese calligrapher on the side.

I consider myself a delightful, light-hearted, and fun person. My teaching style varies, but my goal is always to make the lessons enjoyable, stress-free, and meaningful. I hope you will join me for a lesson!

⛔️ Disclaimers

1. Currently I do not accept students below 18 years old.

2. I am speaking in Taiwanese Mandarin, not Chinese one. There are some wordings, expressions, grammatical rules which are slightly different from China. If your goal is more specific to learn Chinese Mandarin (e.g. running a business in China, job hunting in China), I will recommend you find another Chinese teacher from China.

3. I will not be available from 2023 May to July due to a long trip in Japan!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

If you have any questions about Mandarin, I'm glad to help. Feel free to send me messages!

Looking forward to seeing you online. Thank you!
