Lead Teacher
​
Mrs Qiao,
​
Hello, and welcome! I’m Qiao, originally from Shanghai, and I am the Lead Teacher at Mandarin Unity. I’m also a mom of two bilingual young children, so I understand firsthand the joys and challenges of raising kids with multiple languages. My passion is making Mandarin fun, easy, and practical while keeping students of all ages motivated and engaged throughout their learning journey.
​
I am a qualified professional Mandarin teacher with 12 years of experience teaching for all ages in China, Australia, and England. I hold a Master’s degree in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages from the University of Nottingham.
​
I find teaching Mandarin incredibly rewarding. For children, in addition to watching them progress and achieve their goals, I love sparking their curiosity, building their confidence, and creating happy learning memories. For adult learners, I feel rewarded when I see them progress, achieve their goals, and gain the confidence to continue learning independently, stay motivated, and explore additional resources on their own. Watching all my students grow and succeed is the highlight of my work.
​
I am patient, easy-going, and passionate about creating a welcoming and supportive learning environment.
Outside teaching, I enjoy exploring diverse cultures, cooking, traveling, watching inspirational films, gardening, music, Latin dancing, cycling, badminton, theatre, and admiring arts and architecture.
​
I can’t wait to welcome you and your family to our classes in Oxfordshire or online and help you enjoy your Mandarin Chinese learning journey!
