Foundations
Zero to conversational: pinyin, tones, characters and the 500 words that carry daily life. My most popular track.
For students
Not “someday, after the grammar.” Lesson one ends with you introducing yourself in Mandarin — and we build from there, live and 1-on-1, at your pace, in your timezone.
Taught by Teacher Jane (珂老师) · M.TCSOL · 900+ students from 40+ countries
How it works
30 minutes: we chat, I map your level honestly, and you leave with a tone check-up and a plan sketch.
A written plan with milestones — what you’ll be able to do after 10, 25, 50 lessons. We adjust as you grow.
50-minute live classes, slides and recording afterwards, homework with voice-note feedback between lessons.
Monthly review of what stuck, spaced repetition of what didn’t, and honest talk about pace. 加油!
Ways to learn
Every track is still 1-on-1 and personalised — the track just sets the direction of travel.
Zero to conversational: pinyin, tones, characters and the 500 words that carry daily life. My most popular track.
A backwards plan from your exam date: vocabulary sprints, past papers, listening drills and a mock every fortnight.
Meetings, supplier calls, small talk that builds trust. We rehearse your real situations, not textbook dialogues.
You talk, I fix — pronunciation, word choice, the natural phrase a native would use. Recordings after every class.

Student voices
“After a year of apps I could barely order coffee. Three months with Teacher Jane and I survived a week in Chengdu on Chinese alone — taxis, menus, and one very long dinner with my in-laws.”
Marina Duarte
Student for 2 years · Brazil
“The lessons are structured but never stiff. She hears exactly which sounds I get wrong and drills them until they stick. Six months in, my colleagues in Hamburg stopped switching to English when I take a call in Chinese.”
Jonas Weber
HSK 3 student · Germany
“I passed HSK 4 on the first attempt after her eight-week plan. Every class ended with me knowing exactly what to review and why — that was the part I could never work out on my own.”
