Siyuan

Hi there! I’m Siyuan Liu, a PhD in Linguistics, a passionate language teacher, and a traveler between cultures. My “home” is split between China and Italy, so switching between different languages and mindsets has become part of my daily life—almost like living in a real-life “language time-travel” series. With a solid academic background in language structure and acquisition, I know how to turn grammar rules and vocabulary lists into fun, relatable, and practical lessons. Whether it’s mastering the four tones of Mandarin, understanding Chinese idioms, or polishing your English pronunciation and expressions, I’ll guide you with clear explanations and interactive activities. For example, why in Chinese we say “加油” (“add oil”) to cheer someone on, or why in English “break a leg” actually means “good luck.” In my classes, we might discuss your favorite food, travel dreams, movie lines, or even the latest trends on social media. I believe language is not just a tool—it’s a bridge to connect people and a key to explore the world. Whether you’re a complete beginner or aiming for advanced fluency, I’ll design a personalized learning plan for you, combining cultural insights with language skills. Let’s learn together, laugh together, and make languages your second home!
