About Zu
Hi, I’m Zu! I’m a native Mandarin speaker from Beijing and I have lived in Melbourne for 11 years. I have a strong passion for linguistics and I’ve worked in language tutoring and translation for around 7 years.
I learned English as a second language to a native speaker level myself, so I understand the frustrating gap between knowing a language in your head, and actually being able to speak naturally in real life. That self learning experience strongly shapes the way I teach Mandarin.
I work with students who are completely new to Chinese; students who find their school/uni work a little overwhelming, and students who already understand Chinese well and want to improve fluency. Because I understand both languages in a deep sense and I can explain not only what Chinese people say, but how we can make it sounds natural.

My lessons focus on learning Chinese you can actually bring to practice . Whether you want to:
Work on everyday conversation, pronunciation and tones, listening skills-for travel, work, school study, or speaking with Chinese-speaking family and friends.
With beginner students , we can start with pinyin, simple sentence structures and get you to speak with confidence before you know it!
If you already know Chinese and want to improve speaking fluency, or nail a school test, I’ll help you sound more natural and confident instead of translating everything in your head first.
Our first 30-minute session is free: we’ll talk about what you’re trying to achieve, try a short lesson, and I will work out a tailored lesson plan that would help you improve the most effective way.
I can help you with:
• natural everyday Mandarin, speaking, reading, texting and so on.
• explain your school work until they actually make sense, and nail every upcoming tests!
• pronunciation, tones and fluency
• grammar explained simply and how native speakers actually phrase things
• understanding the cultural context behind the language itself
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Zu.
Perfect! Zu has been an amazing tutor, as I have only just started learning Mandarin. She is very knowledgeable and encouraging, and explains things in an understandable way.
- Elise is very smart, curious, hard working and willing to learn. She has one of the best understanding in pronunciation among all the students I have taught. She is genuinely passionate about learning Chinese as a language, as well as the culture. Elise is also very patient as she is not at all afraid of making small mistakes and being corrected until she knows she’s got it right. Amazing student!Zu's response :

Zu is an outstanding tutor. She helped me learn conversational Mandarin, which has helped me immensely in my work, where I interact with many Chinese customers. I'm now able to hold a conversation in Mandarin and feel confident about what I'm saying. She's very patient and would suit beginners or people with more advanced Mandarin. 10/10
Zuyi is a very engaged and adaptable tutor. I already had a foundation in Chinese language, but her tutition has dramatically improved both my reading comprehension and my pronounciation. Zuyi tailors lessons to your needs which I found particularly helpful as she was able to recommend lots of articles and short stories to improve. Her lessons fun and fly past because she's so passionate about what she does and she never makes me feel foolish for making a mistake.
One thing which sets Zuyi apart from other tutors is she listens. She's somebody who, if you don't understand something, is very good at explaining it in a different way which makes it comprehensible. I've found this to be a very rare quality in tutors and I highly recommend her.Zu is an engaging and friendly tutor! She taught me some conversational Chinese, information about various Chinese cultures, histories and folklores! I have plans to travel through China next year, and Zu's tutelage has made the trip seem less daunting! I cannot wait to test out my Chinese during my journey!
Zu is a highly capable and proficient English teacher, and one whom I can’t recommend more highly. Her English skills are unparalleled, and any student wishing to develop their language skills with her couldn’t be in safer hands.
As work required a lot of travel to China, I thought it would be prudent to learn some Mandarin. Unfortunately it turns out I should have been taking Cantonese lessons. Oh well it’s still been a great learning experience. Zu is very patient and fun to learn with.
Zuyi helped teach me Mandarin phrases to help communicate with some of my students. She catered the lessons to what I needed. It has helped greatly with my day-to-day in the classroom.
Zu was an excellent tutor! She has been great at breaking down difficult grammar into more easily understandable patterns, then providing organic examples of how they can be used. I felt comfortable chatting with her to practice my conversational Chinese and I never felt embarrassed when I made a mistake.
