About me.

HellošŸ‘‹, I’m Jia jia. Originally from Chengdu, Sichuan, the hometown of giant pandas🐼, I’ve been teaching Chinese to students from all over the world for many years.

Over the years, hundreds of students have learned Chinese with me, from complete beginners to more advanced learners. What makes teaching especially rewarding is seeing students become more confident and comfortable using Chinese in their everyday lives.

As a language learner myself, I’m currently studying German and have always been fascinated by languages and the way they connect people and cultures. This experience also helps me understand the challenges that come with learning a new language.

Combining my passion for languages with my work as a Chinese teacher gives me a great sense of fulfillment. Whether you’re just starting out, preparing for an exam, or looking to improve your everyday Chinese, I’d be happy to help you make progress and enjoy the learning process.
