That first time you actually do it, out loud, mistakes and all — that's the moment I live for. I work mostly with adults who are sharp in their own language, and get tongue-tied the moment they try a new one. I get it.
My lessons aren't about drilling grammar until you feel "ready" — they're about making it safe enough to speak now, because speaking up matters more than speaking perfectly.
Nearly ten years, students from 40+ countries, from everyday conversation to business Mandarin. But what I really do is simpler: I make it safe enough that you finally open your mouth.
When you slip up, I keep it light and encouraging — because the courage to speak matters more than being perfect.
Every lesson fits your goals, level and pace — never a generic textbook.
From total beginners to business executives — I make Chinese click.
Plenty of laughs in class — but the substance stays rigorous, so you have fun and genuinely learn.
Just you and me, fully built around what you want to say — from complete beginner to business meetings. Flexible times, online, or in person in northern Taiwan.
A free 30 minutes to meet, talk through your goals, and see if we're a good fit — completely no pressure.
Wendy's lessons are fun, personalized, and very conversation-focused, which makes learning Mandarin feel natural and less intimidating.
Her lessons are interactive, thoughtful, and very effective in helping students understand both the language and its cultural context.
I feel more confident using basic mandarin in real life.
I feel more confident in my speaking and conversational ability, and a better ability to understand and talk about deeper / more complex / more varied topics than before!!
Not at all. Many of my students start from zero. We build from the very first sound, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
It's never too late. I work mostly with adults, and lessons flex around your schedule — available online, or in person in northern Taiwan.
A relaxed 30-minute chat: we get to know each other, talk through your goals, and find the approach that fits you. No test, no pressure.
Private one-on-one lessons are US$30 online or US$35 in person (northern Taiwan), per 55-minute session. The trial lesson is free.
Yes. I've taught professionals and executives, and can tailor lessons for meetings, emails, and everyday workplace conversation.
You're exactly who I love teaching. My lessons are a judgment-free space — you speak first, we fix things together, and mistakes are simply part of learning.
Send me a message and we'll arrange a free trial lesson — no preparation needed, just come as you are.
