Hi, I’m Mitty
I’m a Mandarin teacher from Taiwan. I’ve taught more than 700 hours of lessons, including at the Mandarin Training Center at National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei.
I’m also a product designer, so I care about making hard things feel simple. My lessons break Chinese into small, clear pieces, and we practise them in the situations you’ll really be in.
Most of all, I want you to feel relaxed enough to make mistakes. That’s where the learning happens.
