Who am I?

Hi, everyone!

This is Sherry, a native Mandarin and Hakka Speaker from Guangdong Province in China. Nice to meet you~

What do I teach?
Majoring in International Economics and Trade with 5+ years of finance experience, not only do I teach the common knowledge of Chinese, like Pinyin or conversation practice, but I also focus on Business Chinese, such as BCT Exam preparation and useful guidance on how to do business with Chinese people.

Besides this, I know that many people plan to travel in and around China. I am also a travel enthusiast, and believe it will absolutely improve your traveling experience if you can speak some daily sentences of the target area. The more that the local people feel your kindness, the more you get to know the city. I am ready to help you learn travel vocabulary and sentences, as well as Chinese culture for a better visiting experience. Regardless of the class format, I offer one-on-one and one-to-few tutoring on Google Meet for a range of proficiency levels.

Travel Experience

✈️ Are you planning a trip to China? As a fellow travel enthusiast, I know just how much more meaningful your journey can be when you speak even a little of the local language. Being able to say a few key phrases in Mandarin doesn't just help you get around—it opens doors to deeper connections, richer experiences, and unforgettable conversations.

Locals truly appreciate when travelers make the effort, and you will quickly find that a simple “你好” (nǐ hǎo – hello) can lead to smiles, helpful tips, and a whole new way to experience the culture.

I am here to help you get there! I offer personalized Mandarin tutoring focused on travel vocabulary, everyday sentences, and cultural insights—so you can explore China with confidence. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to brush up, I teach one-on-one or in small groups over Google Meet, tailored to your level and goals.

Let's make your next trip truly unforgettable—starting with the language. 🇨🇳✨

A neatly organized classroom shelf contains a variety of educational materials and tools. There are wooden trays, colored boxes, abacuses, and charts. Each shelf is filled with learning aids, prominently featuring items like math boards and counting tools. The environment is bright and has a warm, inviting atmosphere typical for a Montessori setting.

Sherry is a very good tutor and I really enjoy learning from her. She has patience, especially for this beginner and the lessons and well paced and fun. She is also a stickler for pronunciation and make sure that you pronounce syllables correctly, something that is critical in a tonal language. I highly recommend Sherry as a tutor. I've learned a lot and plan to continue with her indefinitely!
