About Yikun
Hello! I’m Yikun, a passionate and dedicated Mandarin tutor and certified Chinese calligrapher with a strong academic and professional foundation. I was born and raised in China, where I completed my high school education, and later earned a B.Com and a MSCM in Canada. This unique combination of cultural fluency and business expertise allows me to offer high-quality Mandarin instruction, especially for those seeking to master Business Chinese. I have over three years of experience teaching Mandarin and Chinese calligraphy to students from diverse backgrounds. Whether you're learning for daily communication, professional development, or cultural enrichment, I tailor each lesson to your goals and learning style. I emphasize practical usage, clear communication, and accuracy in reading and writing. In addition to language instruction, I am a certified Level 10 Chinese Brush Calligrapher, and I offer calligraphy classes that provide not only hands-on technique training but also a deep appreciation of Chinese aesthetics and heritage. Students often describe me as friendly, professional, and highly attentive to detail. I create a supportive learning environment where you can grow with confidence—whether you're a beginner, preparing for exams, or looking to advance your Chinese in a business setting. Let’s learn together and discover the beauty of Chinese language and tradition—one stroke, one word at a time. ️

About My Lessons My Mandarin lessons emphasize practical application in daily life and accuracy in reading and writing. Whether you’re aiming to communicate more naturally in everyday situations or strengthen your foundational grammar and character recognition, I tailor each session to your needs. My teaching incorporates real-life scenarios, structured reading exercises, vocabulary building, and writing correction, helping you speak with confidence and write with precision. For Chinese calligraphy, I offer lessons that go beyond technique. Each class is a cultural and aesthetic experience—you’ll learn traditional brush methods, appreciate the beauty of character composition, and explore the rich heritage behind each stroke. The lessons are designed to cultivate mindfulness, artistic expression, and a deeper connection with Chinese culture. A typical session begins with a short review, followed by focused practice tailored to your goals—whether conversational fluency, exam preparation, or calligraphy refinement. I conclude each lesson with personal feedback and guidance for continued progress. What sets me apart is my background as a certified calligrapher (Chinese Brush Calligraphy Level 10), my trilingual academic path across China and Canada, and over three years of teaching Mandarin and calligraphy. I’m fluent in both English and Mandarin, allowing for seamless explanation and support in either language. These lessons are perfect for learners of all levels—from beginners to advanced students, children to adults, as well as those interested in Chinese art and culture. Whether you're learning Mandarin for travel, work, exams, or personal interest, or you're seeking a meaningful introduction to Chinese calligraphy, I will design a course that suits your goals.

I have participated in several Chinese calligraphy learning activities hosted by Yikun. She is a gentle and encouraging educator who takes great care in explaining key concepts and guiding her students to truly understand the essence of the language and traditional Chinese calligraphy. Her thoughtful teaching style creates a warm and supportive learning environment where students feel confident to grow and express themselves.
I joined her class and also participated in an activity where she volunteered to teach people how to write with brush and ink. She patiently guided us in creating beautiful calligraphy gifts for the Lunar New Year. Her dedication to both the art and her students shines through in everything she does.
