Remember why you wanted to learn Chinese?
At first, every new word and simple sentence feels exciting. Then you notice a gap: the Chinese you speak sounds different from the Chinese you hear in real life. You cannot quite work out why — and your progress starts to feel stuck.
You need someone who can show you how Chinese speakers put their thoughts into words: the expressions they reach for, the sentence patterns they use, and the thinking behind them. That is what I am here to help you with.
01 · Words you will actually use
Learn common, useful vocabulary that belongs in everyday conversations.
02 · Grammar, made clear
Understand sentence patterns through simple, clear explanations.
03 · Practice that stays interesting
Get plenty of engaging practice to turn what you learn into something you can use.
Enjoy courses and learning materials that help you think in Chinese and express yourself with greater fluency.
I'm Yixin
If you're looking for a fun and effective way to improve your Chinese, learn with me.
I know the expressions learners often use that Chinese speakers rarely say — and the everyday phrases Chinese speakers use that learners often miss. My goal is to help the way you communicate, express yourself and join conversations feel closer to real Chinese.
I make sentence structures and grammar easier to understand, and show you how people actually speak. We will also explore life in China today: everyday experiences, social issues, current events and the changing world around us.
Most of all, I want you to find the confidence and motivation to speak Chinese.

What's the key to Chinese fluency?
The key is learning to use common phrases flexibly in different situations — rather than only memorising vocabulary lists and grammar rules.

Reviews from students in several countries who have taken my courses.
Kevin · United States
Yixin is an incredible and gifted teacher who has been able to help me make rapid improvements in my spoken Chinese with her teaching style. She is adaptable and has a unique approach for improving spoken fluency for intermediate speakers, and within a few classes I already was able to fix bad habits I’ve had for years. Highly recommend!!
Zambrano · Canada

Lazar · Germany
Yixin is a wonderful teacher. Her classes are both fun and very well organized. We discuss a wide range of topics in depth, and she always makes sure I fully understand the material. The regular reviews are also very helpful. I’m looking forward to continuing to improve with Yixin. Highly recommended!

I’ve been learning Mandarin with Yixin for the past few months. She is literally an amazing teacher” I had a few Mandarin classes, like going to an academy or doing a private lesson, but every time I had no motivation and didn’t know what to do. But with Yixin, it is different. She always provides a wonderful class, and gets what I don’t know and explains more. Also, I am a quite slow learner, but she is soooo patient and also cheers me up!!! I’m so lucky to have Yixin for my Mandarin teacher 🫶
Lamberto · Italy
Yixin is very professional, and to do chinese lessons with her is a pleasure!
Caldwell · Canada
I am happy to have found Yixin! Her lessons are fun and flexible. She is always one step ahead of my language needs. Her clear understanding of English/Chinese grammar means she can explain tricky language and craft structured and scaffolded lessons. All this has allowed me to feel more confident. Previously a lot of the word order and meaning was mysterious to me. I feel I am finally moving forward.

DOUAA · Morocco
I’ve been learning Mandarin with Yixin for the past four months, and I can confidently say she’s the best tutor I’ve ever come across, even though I’ve had many experiences with other tutors while learning different languages. Her teaching method is very clear, she gives you exactly what you need, and she helps you build sentences and understand sentence structure through very practical techniques. She is amazing, her English is excellent, which makes everything easier to understand, and every lesson makes me feel more comfortable, encouraged, and excited to speak, practice, and learn even more about this beautiful language and culture. I can recommend her 100% to anyone, whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to develop your Chinese skills. She is truly the best, and she will definitely help you become more confident and fluent over time.
