你好!I'm Ya Chuan from Taiwan.

I’m a full-time certified Mandarin teacher with a Master’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. Over the years, I’ve taught in various universities across the world, including in the Czech Republic (Olomouc), France (Lille), the Netherlands (Leiden), Taiwan (Taipei), and the U.S(Indiana).
In addition to my university teaching, I also offer online/one-on-one courses for learners of all levels—from complete beginners to advanced speakers—and of all ages, from 6 to 55.

I’m passionate about language education and familiar with different language learning methods. My lessons are always tailored to each student’s needs, goals, and background—so feel free to reach out and tell me more about your motivation and learning experience. Whether you're learning for school, work, travel, or personal interest, I can adapt my lessons to suit your goals.

I’m constantly exploring new teaching tools and methods to keep my lessons interactive, fun, and effective. You can expect clear grammar explanations, engaging activities, and a supportive environment to help you progress confidently and enjoy learning Chinese!
