About Elsa

I’ll work with you, not just teach at you. I grew up speaking Mandarin fluently (no accent, just clear, standard tones) and spent 5 years abroad—so I know exactly what it’s like to learn a language from the “outsider” perspective. That’s my superpower: I’ll explain tricky concepts in simple terms, adapt to your learning style, and turn “I don’t get it” into “Got it!” with patience.

My method: I blend communicative teaching with real-life scenarios (ordering food, job interviews, casual chats) to make skills stick. Think interactive dialogues, quick games for tone practice, and personalized tips based on your goals (travel? exams? business?). No boring textbooks—just relevant, repeatable phrases you’ll use fast.
A typical class: We start with a 5-min warm-up (e.g., “Describe your weekend!”), dive into 15 mins of key vocab/grammar (taught with visuals or stories), then 20 mins of role-plays (you try, I correct gently), and wrap up with a 5-min recap + a fun homework task (like texting a Chinese friend a mock message).
What makes me different: I’ve lived abroad 5 years (so I get learner struggles!), speak fluent English (no jargon—explain tones like “music notes”), and my standard Mandarin (zero accent) means you’ll sound natural, not “foreign.” Plus, my outgoing vibe keeps classes light—you’ll laugh while you learn.
Who it’s for: Everyone—from total beginners (I’ll teach pinyin first!) to advanced learners prepping for HSK exams. Perfect if you want to chat with locals, impress in a job interview, or just love Chinese culture. No age limits, no rigid rules—just progress, one chat at a time.
Let’s make Mandarin yours—no pressure, all progress.
