About Ziyao
About Me & My Professional Background
Hello! I’m Ziyao, a passionate professional educator with a proven background in language instruction and educational methodology.
Because I have walked in your shoes as a language learner myself, I truly understand the joys, challenges, and occasional nervousness that come with mastering a new language. My background in teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) has given me deep, practical experience in breaking down language barriers, explaining grammar intuitively, and helping non-native speakers express themselves with natural fluency.
When you learn with me, you get the best of both worlds: a highly qualified teacher who knows the mechanics of language acquisition, and a supportive guide who knows how to make every step of the journey fun and stress-free!
Why You Can Feel Confident Learning With Me
Proven Language-Teaching Expertise: Having taught ESL, I know how to adapt lessons for different proficiency levels, refine accents, and make new vocabulary stick through real-world context.
I Know What It Takes: As a language learner myself, I design lessons with empathy and patience. I know which concepts feel tricky and how to make them click easily for you.
Fun, Low-Pressure Environment: Learning shouldn't feel like a chore! I bring high energy, humor, and interactive topics to every session so you actually look forward to class.
Structured & Reliable: Every lesson is organized with clear goals, engaging cultural insights, and practical conversational tools, ensuring you make steady, noticeable progress.

My Teaching Approach
Hi, I’m Ziyao! My goal is to make learning Chinese genuine, engaging, and fun. I believe language comes alive when you enjoy the process, so our lessons go beyond textbooks to explore both the Chinese language and its vibrant culture.
I focus on interactive, student-centered learning. We’ll practice real conversational Chinese, discuss cultural nuances, and even dive into popular online slang and trending expressions used in China today. You’ll gain practical fluency while staying connected to how native speakers actually talk right now.
A Typical 60-Minute Lesson
Warm-Up & Chat (10 mins): Casual check-in to practice conversation and review past topics naturally.
Culture & Slang Spotlight (15 mins): Explore a new cultural topic, popular internet phrase, or everyday scenario.
Interactive Practice (25 mins): Role-plays, guided discussions, and active speaking exercises tailored to your interests.
Feedback & Wrap-Up (10 mins): Friendly tone adjustments, key takeaways, and fun practice ideas for the week.
What Sets Me Apart
Fresh & Modern: Learn current internet slang and modern expressions, not just traditional textbook phrases.
Culture Integrated: Understand the why behind the language through customs, food culture, media, and daily life.
Patient & Encouraging: A relaxed space where you can make mistakes, gain confidence, and enjoy every step.
