About Me
and our 1-on-1 Chinese lessons
My Background & Education
I grew up in New Taipei City, Taiwan. I studied Medical Imaging 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 for the last few years. After having a bit of a nomadic lifestyle, now I've settled down in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
My Teaching Experience
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 on italki.
I've been teaching Mandarin for over 7 years. I've taught more than 8000 1-on-1 lessons and over 700 students on italki, with over 500 positive reviews.
From 2021, I built this website and started to teach on my own booking platform as well. I've also started to create Chinese learning content on Youtube, Instagram, in podcast, and in 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, because I find it more effective, because you get to practice exactly what you want with 100% of your time. You get plenty feedback from 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 🇩🇰
