Meet Pinpin

Hi, I’m
Pinpin.

I’ve been teaching Mandarin to adults and children for more than 10 years, both online and with students from international-school communities.

My lessons are personal, practical and built around the person in front of me — not a fixed script.

Apps are great for practice. But a real teacher can notice the small things: what keeps tripping you up, what sounds unnatural, when you need correcting and when you simply need more confidence speaking.

FAQ

Do I need to know Chinese already?

Not at all. Complete beginners are welcome.

What happens in the first lesson?

We talk about your goals and level, then spend most of the time learning and speaking. You leave with feedback and a clear next step.

Is this just conversation practice?

It can be, but not only. We work on speaking, pronunciation, grammar, natural expressions and the Chinese you need for everyday life, work or travel.

Where do lessons happen?

Online via Google Meet. Your meeting link is sent automatically after booking.

What timezone will I see?

Your local timezone. Available times are automatically shown in your timezone.

Can I reschedule?

Yes. You can reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before your lesson.

Do you teach children?

Yes. Pinpin has extensive experience teaching children and teens as well as adults, including students from international-school communities. If you’re looking for lessons for your child, you’re welcome to get in touch or book a first lesson.

What happens after my first lesson?

If you’d like to continue, you can choose a single lesson or one of our lesson packages. Pinpin will also give you a clearer idea of what to focus on next based on your goals and what came up during your first session. There’s no pressure to continue.

What comes with a lesson package?

A package is more than a block of lesson time. Your lessons build on each other, with personalized materials, practice, feedback and ongoing guidance shaped around your progress. You can schedule lessons flexibly using your private booking link.
