About Me
Born in Shanghai.
Teaching from the heart.
I grew up speaking Mandarin at home and English at school — so I know exactly what it feels like to navigate between two worlds. That experience shaped how I teach. I don’t just drill tones and vocabulary. I help you think in Mandarin.
After completing my degree in Chinese Language & Linguistics at the University of Sydney, I spent three years teaching in both Shanghai and Melbourne before building my own practice focused entirely on 1-on-1 tutoring.

Testimonials
Stories from
real students.
Mei Lin’s lessons are honestly unlike anything I’ve tried before. She has this rare ability to make tones feel completely natural — I stopped dreading them after just a few weeks.
We enrolled our daughters (7 and 10) six months ago. Their confidence has skyrocketed. They now talk to their grandparents in Mandarin, which means everything to our family.
I needed conversational Mandarin for work meetings in Beijing. Mei Lin tailored every session to my industry. Three months later I held my first meeting entirely in Mandarin.
I had zero Mandarin experience and was terrified. Mei Lin is so patient and warm — I felt capable from lesson one. The structured curriculum means I always know where I’m headed.
