Hi everyone! I'm Teacher Jia, hailing from the storied city of Xi'an, renowned for its rich history. My journey in Chinese language and literature began in college and later led me to the fascinating world of international relations, where I met many foreign friends eager to delve into Chinese culture. It struck me how their passion was often hindered by language barriers, preventing them from fully embracing and expressing their love for our culture. This inspired me to teach spoken Chinese in my spare time, helping them bridge this gap and deepen their understanding.

My teaching philosophy is all about engaging with each student's unique cognitive and psychological makeup. I use a blend of teaching methods to foster a lively and comfortable learning environment that sparks creativity and enthusiasm. My approach is relaxed yet focused, aiming to imbue you with the essence of Chinese knowledge through lively, real-life examples and thought-provoking analogies.

I invite you to join me in an explorative journey through the Chinese language. Whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your skills, let's embark on this adventure together. Book a trial class, share your current language level and goals, and let me guide you through a captivating and enriching exploration of China!
