About Me
and our 1-on-1 Chinese lessons
and our 1-on-1 Chinese lessons
I grew up in New Taipei City, Taiwan. I studied Medical Imaging and Radiological Sciences for my BS degree. I also took a Teacher Training Course for CSL(Chinese as second language) in National Sun Yat-sen University during college.
I've mostly been abroad teaching Chinese ever since I graduated. I've lived in Mexico, Canada, the U.S., and Europe before. After having a bit of a nomadic lifestyle, now I've settled down in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
After I graduated in 2017, I went to Mexico to teach in a private school for two years. From 2019, I started to teach online.
I've been teaching Mandarin online for over 7 years. I've taught more than 9000 1-on-1 lessons and over 700 students.
In 2021, I built my own website and started to offer lessons here. I also started to create Chinese learning content on Youtube, Instagram, in podcast, and on this website for beginners and intermediate learners using stories and comprehensible input. As a language learner myself, I relate to the challenges of learning a foreign language, and I'm happy to be able to create content to help.
I really like 1-on-1s. I find it more effective, since you get to practice exactly what you want 100% of your time. You get plenty feedback for your speaking as well.
"Best teacher, totally worth it! I have had more than 10 different Chinese teachers through the last 2.5 years of learning Chinese and I have had weekly lessons with Jiayun since the start, and she is by far the best of them all, she can somehow make everything i find hard, seem simple." - Pierre 🇩🇰
