Hi, I am Sally. I come from Taiwan. Chinese and Taiwanese are my mother languages. I am a certified Mandarin Chinese teacher and also possess the diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Recently, I have completed my master’s study in Education, Health Promotion and International Development. Before becoming a language teacher, I was a registered nurse.

I like reading, traveling, cooking, knitting, swimming, hiking and doing yoga. I am patient, willing to help and passionate about teaching! Learning Chinese can be hard, but it does not have to be. I am here to guide you at every stage of your learning journey, anywhere in the world!
