About me
Hello! I'm a Chinese teacher from China who is truly passionate about education. I currently live in Spain, and over the years, I’ve been helping students from different countries and backgrounds build their confidence, improve their Chinese skills, and achieve their learning goals step by step.
I have rich teaching experience and specialize in customizing lessons for adults, beginners, travelers, and business professionals. Whether you're just starting to learn Chinese or want to improve your speaking skills, I’ll create practical and engaging lessons tailored to your needs.
I especially enjoy cultural exchange and love bringing real-life examples, Chinese culture, and interactive exercises into the classroom to make learning Chinese fun, meaningful, and enjoyable.
For the past eight years, I’ve been living in Spain—a vibrant and culturally rich country that has deeply inspired me both personally and professionally. Living here has given me a unique perspective on cross-cultural communication, which I bring into my teaching.
I enjoy incorporating real-life examples, cultural insights, and interactive activities into my lessons, making Chinese learning not only educational but also an exciting adventure.
Whether we’re exploring Chinese traditions, discussing modern trends, or practicing conversational skills, I strive to make every class a memorable and meaningful experience.
If you've been thinking about learning Chinese but aren't sure where to start—or if you're worried it might be too difficult—why not give it a try? Whether you're a complete beginner, planning a trip to China, or looking to use Chinese more comfortably at work, I’ll create a personalized learning plan based on your interests and goals.
In my classes, we don't just learn vocabulary and grammar—we focus on real-life conversations, cultural exchange, and building your confidence in using the language. The lessons are flexible and relaxed, so you don’t need to worry about keeping up or feeling bored or stressed.
I look forward to seeing you in class soon!

If you want to learn and have fun at the same time, then Shi is the best option among all the teachers. I, who am a person with ADHD, have not gotten distracted even once in all the classes I've had with him, because he always manages to make them dynamic and entertaining. Without a doubt, the best teacher!David
