About Mingen (Ann)
Hi, I'm Ann Mingen, founder of Mandarin in Action.
As a certified Chinese teacher with over 7 years of teaching experience, a Double Master's degree from the University of the Arts London and the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, and qualifications in both Mandarin and teaching, I create fully personalised learning experiences for every student.
I believe learning Mandarin is about much more than memorising vocabulary or passing exams. It's about building meaningful connections with people, culture and opportunities.
Whether you're preparing for business meetings, travelling to China, relocating, communicating with Chinese colleagues or family, or simply exploring the language out of curiosity, every lesson is tailored to your goals and learning style.
My lessons go beyond textbooks. Together we'll explore modern Chinese culture, festivals, social media trends, everyday expressions, business etiquette and the way people actually communicate in today's China.
Every student also receives access to a personalised learning hub, including lesson notes, customised vocabulary lists, grammar summaries and AI-supported learning resources, making it easier to review and continue learning between lessons.
My goal isn't just to teach you Mandarin—it's to help you communicate with confidence and truly understand modern China.

After just a few weeks of classes, I feel more confident using Chinese in real-life situations. Mingen is truly a gem!
Learning with Mingen feels like having a conversation with a friend who happens to be really good at teaching.
I’ve been working with Ann for almost a year now and she has completely transformed my Mandarin language learning journey!
What I appreciate most is how she personalises our classes to my goals. Ann finds the perfect balance between using the HSK structure for learning efficiently as well as teaching about Chinese culture which I find absolutely fascinating.
On top of this, Ann is super friendly, professional, and always brings a positive attitude to every single one of our lessons. She has helped massively improve my confidence with listening and speaking Mandarin.
For anyone looking to learn Chinese, I wholeheartedly recommend Ann! I have had an exceptional experience and you won’t regret it!Mingen is an amazing teacher—she makes grammar so much easier to understand, and her explanations are always clear and patient.
Highly recommended!! The teacher explains clearly with standard pronunciation, and the course content is practical, helping improve my speaking and listening skills. The class atmosphere is relaxed and engaging, making it an effective learning experience.
Ann Li is incredibly patient and meticulous. Her classes blend language with Chinese culture, helping me not only master the language but also gain practical communication skills that go beyond textbook knowledge.
Li is a great tutor, she helped me improve my Chinese over 4 months and I can confidently chat casually!
