With 3 years of experience teaching Mandarin to adult learners, I guide students from Pinyin to Chinese characters while helping them discover the beauty of Chinese language and culture.

Lifang is a great tutor because she always checks her students’ understanding and adjusts each lesson to their pace. Her lessons introduce Mandarin, Chinese food and culture through a mixture of PowerPoint slides, videos, pictures, and speaking practice, making them engaging, fun, and challenging in a good way. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an interactive, supportive, and effective Mandarin tutor.

I’ve been learning Chinese with Lifang for a while now, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She’s an amazing teacher, her lessons are super clear and well-organized, so even tricky grammar or pronunciation feels easy to follow. What I love most is how sincere and patient she is. Whenever I make mistakes or struggle with a word, she never rushes me. Instead, she explains things gently and repeats as many times as needed until I get it right. Learning Chinese used to feel daunting, but with her guidance, it’s become fun and rewarding. I really appreciate her dedication, and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking to learn Chinese!

One of the things I appreciate most is her patience! Something that is extremely important to me as a learner. Pinyin can be quite a boring process, but Lifang always found creative ways to make it interesting. She combined the lessons with fun and unexpected stories, which made even the dull parts enjoyable.

Lifang loves geography and history, and this happens to match my own personal interests. Because of this, our lessons often naturally expanded into fascinating discussions about deeper topics. I loved these spontaneous conversations! They made each session feel vivid, thoughtful, and meaningful.

I first met Lifang during a hiking trip. I casually mentioned that I wanted to improve my Chinese, and she took it seriously! Since then, she has taught me Chinese for a period of time, and the experience has been truly enjoyable.

She is a humorous and engaging tutor, sometimes a bit strict, but always in a way that motivates me to learn better. What I appreciate most is that she is full of ideas. I feel that I’m not only learning Chinese from her, but also experiencing her genuine passion for teaching the language.

She loves thinking deeply, and during our lessons we often end up discussing meaningful topics that go far beyond textbooks. I really enjoy these spontaneous conversations, as they make each lesson feel unique, inspiring, and intellectually enriching.

This is why I highly recommend her: she is thoughtful, dedicated, and brings both structure and creativity to her teaching. Learning with her is never boring! it’s a mix of language learning, humour, and meaningful exchange.

I know Skylar as both my teacher and my friend.
She is patient, responsible, and friendly, which makes learning enjoyable.
Skylar carefully helps with my pronunciation, shares Chinese culture, and spends extra time correcting my work. Thanks to her, I feel confident that when I travel to China in the future, I will be able to speak Chinese in conversations
