Meet Xinxin

Hi, I’m Xinxin, the founder of Mandarintalker. I’ve been teaching Chinese for seven years and have taught over 7,000 hours of lessons.

My focus is helping adult learners use Chinese in real life—from travelling in China to communicating with friends, partners and colleagues.

Today, I work with a teaching team to offer personalized 1:1 lessons and small-group courses.
