About Mariel

Hello! I am a licensed professional educator with a deep passion for making language learning accessible, engaging, and highly practical.
​
Currently, I teach the Special Program in Foreign Language (SPFL) Mandarin at the secondary level, where I specialize in designing interactive, student-centered curriculum materials. To ensure I am always bringing the best methodologies to my students, I am also currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Education Major in Language Teaching as a scholar at Angeles University Foundation.
​
Why Learn With Me?
​1. Formal Pedagogical Training: I don't just speak the language; I am professionally trained in how to teach it. I understand the cognitive hurdles of learning a new language and use structured, evidence-based methods to help you overcome them.
​2. Curriculum Design Expertise: I actively develop my own learning materials—from interactive review games to clear graphic organizers—meaning your lessons will never be reliant on dry, generic textbook reading.
​3. Empathetic Approach: Beyond the classroom, my professional background requires me to communicate complex concepts with empathy and clarity. I know how to break down intimidating information into simple, manageable pieces using whatever language mix—English or Taglish—works best for you.
​
Whether you are starting from absolute zero or looking to build conversational confidence, my goal is to create a supportive, dynamic space where you can comfortably master Mandarin. I look forward to helping you reach your language goals!

Starting a new language as an adult can feel intimidating, but it doesn't have to be! My lessons are specifically designed for absolute beginners (0% knowledge) who want to build a solid, practical foundation in Mandarin Chinese. Whether you are learning for career advancement, travel, or personal growth, we will start from a completely blank slate and comfortably guide you to an HSK 1 level (basic conversational fluency and comprehension).
​
What We Will Cover:
​1. The Building Blocks: Demystifying Pinyin (the phonetic system) and mastering the four tones with patience and clear, easy-to-follow techniques.
2. ​Survival Conversations: Learning how to confidently introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions, tell time, and handle basic daily interactions.
3. ​HSK 1 Vocabulary & Grammar: Systematically covering the essential 150 vocabulary words and fundamental sentence structures required to pass the official HSK 1 proficiency exam.
​4. Cultural Context: Gaining practical insights into Chinese culture to help you understand why certain phrases are used, making the language feel more alive and relevant.
​
My Teaching Style & Classroom Vibe:
a. ​Empathetic & Stress-Free: I believe in creating a highly supportive, judgment-free zone. Making mistakes is a huge part of learning, and I am here to patiently guide you at your own pace.
​b. Interactive & Visual: We will step away from dry, boring textbooks. I use highly interactive materials, clear graphic organizers, and engaging activities to make complex concepts easy to digest.
c. ​Flexible Communication: While the goal is Mandarin immersion, I am happy to break down difficult grammar rules in English or Taglish—whatever makes you feel most comfortable and helps the lesson click.
​
As a working adult, your time is valuable. Every lesson is highly structured, goal-oriented, and customized to fit into your busy schedule. Let's make learning Mandarin an enjoyable, rewarding part of your week!️
