About me
I teach the Chinese I wish someone had taught me to teach.
Eight years ago I stood in front of my first class of foreigners with a perfect lesson plan and watched it die in four minutes. Nobody wanted the grammar tree. They wanted to say something — today, badly, out loud.
Everything I do now starts there. My students speak from lesson one. My slides are built around activities, not bullet points. And the teachers who buy my materials get the decks that survived contact with real classrooms — including the timings, because a 50-minute plan that takes 80 minutes is a beautiful lie.

The road here
From one classroom to forty countries
First classroom
Fresh out of my M.TCSOL, teaching university beginners — and rebuilding every slide the night before class.
Teaching moves online
My classroom became a webcam. Students appeared from São Paulo, Berlin, Cairo. I never went back.
The materials shop
Teachers on RedNote kept asking for my slides. I started selling the decks I use myself — now in classrooms across China and beyond.
This platform
One home for both halves of my work: students who want to speak, and teachers who want their evenings back.
“Teaching and learning grow each other. My students keep me honest — every deck, every method, every price on this site has been tested by someone who could tell me it wasn't working.”
— Teacher Méi · 梅老师
Learn with me
A $9 trial lesson tells us both everything: your level, my method, and whether we laugh at the same mistakes.
