About Cynthia
More than learning a language.
Everyone has a different reason for learning Mandarin.
Perhaps you’re planning a trip to China, supporting your child’s learning, preparing for university, working with Chinese clients, exploring new career opportunities, or simply curious about one of the world’s oldest and most fascinating cultures.
Whatever brings you here, my goal is simple — to help you feel confident communicating in Mandarin and to make learning enjoyable, practical and rewarding.
⸻
A little about me
I’m a native Mandarin speaker with 5 years of private tutoring experience, including 2 years of face-to-face language teaching.
Over the years, I’ve taught children, teenagers, university students and working professionals, and one thing I’ve learned is that no two students learn in exactly the same way.
I also hold a Master’s degree in Global Advertising and Branding from the University of Southampton (UK). Alongside teaching, I’ve worked in brand marketing, content strategy and cross-cultural communication, helping people and businesses communicate more effectively across different cultures.
Teaching Mandarin feels like a natural extension of that work.
⸻
What makes my lessons different?
Lessons tailored to your age, level and learning goals
Practical Mandarin for real-life situations, not just textbooks
Everyday conversation, pronunciation and listening skills
Business Chinese and professional communication when needed
Chinese culture and real-life expressions alongside the language
A relaxed, supportive environment where learning feels enjoyable
One thing my students often appreciate is that I enjoy making complex things easy to understand. Whether we’re working on pronunciation, grammar or business communication, I’ll always explain the why, not just the how.
⸻
My teaching philosophy
I believe language is meant to connect people.
That’s why my lessons focus on communication first.
I want you to feel comfortable speaking, asking questions and making mistakes — because that’s how real learning happens.
Whether you’re five years old or fifty, taking your very first lesson or building confidence for work or study, we’ll learn at a pace that suits you and work towards goals that genuinely matter to you.
⸻
My promise
I hope every lesson leaves you feeling a little more confident than the last.
Because learning Mandarin isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about having the confidence to use it.
I’d love to be part of your learning journey.
