Hello, I’m Ishtar, a native Chinese speaker with ten years of professional teaching experience. I have taught Chinese in international schools across Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and I have supported adult learners from Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. With bilingual instruction in both Chinese and English, I help learners progress with clarity, confidence, and accuracy.
I hold a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a Bachelor’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. I also hold a Chinese Teaching Qualification Certificate, an Advanced TCFL Certificate, a U.S. Montessori Teacher Certificate, and a Mandarin Proficiency Certificate.
If you’re a beginner, you are absolutely welcome! Many of my students started from zero, and I specialise in helping new learners build a solid foundation. My lessons focus on clear explanations, accurate pronunciation, and practical communication. In class, you can expect to:
✔ Share your goals and preferred learning style
✔ Follow a structured plan designed for steady progress ✔ Receive bilingual support when needed
✔ Practice Chinese through real-life situations
✔ Clearly see what you have learned after every lesson
If you’d like a gentle and relaxed start to learning Chinese, I’d be happy to guide you. Hope to see you in class!
