Learning Chinese with me is never just about turning pages. It is a dynamic and transformative journey where progress feels exciting and achievable.
Hi!
I’m Ryan. I wear two hats—a language teacher by day and a PhD student by… well, also by day (and often late into the night). Teaching Chinese is one of the most rewarding parts of my week, because I get to see students grow in confidence and accuracy, and become more comfortable using the language.
Professional.
I teach Chinese in a structured, low-pressure way—clear explanations, targeted practice, and steady progress from week to week. With several years of teaching experience, I aim to keep lessons professional but genuinely engaging, and I tailor each session to what you need most. The goal is for you to feel comfortable using Chinese beyond the classroom, while also picking up the cultural nuances that make the language feel more natural and meaningful.
More than a Language Teacher
My teaching philosophy is simple: Less lecturing, more practising! I create a friendly and interactive space where you can actively speak Chinese with confidence. Along the way, I love sharing insights into the rich history and incredible diversity of the Chinese languages, so every lesson feels like both a skill-building session and a cultural adventure.
Learn Smarter, Not Harder
I believe language learning should always be learner-centred. Having worked with over hundreds of students of all ages and levels, I know that no two learners are alike. Everyone brings their own goals, habits, and strengths to the table. That is why I tailor my teaching to match your style, making sure the journey feels personal, motivating, and geared toward your success.
Systematic
My goal is to get you speaking Chinese confidently, from a single sentence to a full conversation. Using the textbook as a structured foundation, I guide you through a systematic progression of skills, bringing it to life with interactive practice, cultural insights, and plenty of encouragement. Step by step, we build your ability to communicate effectively and naturally in real-life situations.
Authentic
Getting the language right is important, but understanding the cultural nuances is what makes your Chinese truly authentic. I’ll help you speak naturally, with the right tone and style for any situation, so your conversations feel confident, smooth, and genuinely alive. Along the way, you’ll not only master the words but also gain a deeper sense of how to express yourself in culturally appropriate and meaningful ways.
Practical
With so many Chinese learning materials out there, my lessons focus on the practical ones that actually help you use the language in real-life situations. Every activity is designed to get you speaking, listening, reading, and writing in ways that are immediately useful and effective. From day one, you’ll be practising language that you can really use.
