Hi! I'm Mandy, a Certified Chinese teacher(with CTCSOL certificate) with 6 yrs experience and over 5000 hours instruction time, and I create videos and podcasts for Chinese learner. Based on my content, I've also created supporting learning materials – all of which you can find on my website homepage.
These materials include the transcripts of my video and podcast, word list, slides, Hanzi practice heet, homework, etc. You can use them to study on your own or practice with a language partner – as long as it helps you improve. And if you need my personal guidance, I also offer one‑on‑one learning support.
If this sounds interesting to you, let me walk you through what I offer.
In my 6 years of teaching, I've noticed that my best students are also the best self‑learners. They focus during class – and they keep practicing on their own afterward. Self-learners are amazing at finding resources. But what they often lack is feedback. And that's the missing piece I want to give you. I'm not here to replace your self-study – I'm here to support it. Think of me as your backup, your guide, and your personal coach. Someone who can spot the small mistakes you might miss and help you sound more natural.
In the past few years, with the rise of AI, a good self‑learner can become even better with AI's help. But the ultimate goal of language learning is still to communicate with real people. So you still need human interaction – and that's where I come in. And here's why I create these materials and homework:
Watching videos and listening to podcasts is great for input. But to truly remember and use Chinese, you need to practice actively. These materials give you something to do – not just watch.
Review is everything in language learning. With transcripts, word lists, and practice sheets, you can go back, practice, and really make the language stick.
Homework isn't about being perfect. It's about seeing where you are, what you've learned, and what still needs a little more practice. It's a tool for growth, not judgment.
Materials alone are helpful. But materials plus personal feedback? That's where real breakthroughs happen. By having structured homework, correcting your pronunciation, grammar, and writing in a way, that's personal and meaningful.
My videos and podcasts come with transcripts. Based on these transcripts, I've created reading and writing assignments to help you practice both input and output effectively. And I provide homework correction services for these assignments – through text, audio, or video.
Submit assignments via Google Docs or email to track your progress. Homework is based on my podcast episodes, videos, and character practice sheets (all available in the corresponding posts). You can complete it using text, voice, or video. I'll provide detailed feedback on your pronunciation, word choice, grammar, and handwriting. Pick the homework that interests you most – no need to follow a strict order.
Feel confused or unsure about your homework? You can always reach out to me on WeChat (preferred) or WhatsApp for ongoing guidance and support.
This guarantees that every member receives focused, high‑quality feedback.
For those who want one‑on‑one meetings, I also offer:
(1 hour via Google Meet) – A private meeting tailored to your needs.
You can find my videos and podcasts on YouTube and Spotify.
And you can find the corresponding learning materials on my Patreon.
Start with the free resources. If you feel ready to go further, you can become a Basic member and download all my learning materials.
If you need my personal help, join as a Plus member.
If you’d like one‑on‑one meetings, join as a Premium member.
That's all from me. Now it's your turn – choose what works for you, and let's begin. Talk to you soon!
