So, who am I?

Chinese Intonation Coach


I'm Selina, my major was business English and Chinese Translation.
And I started out tutoring on Preply and creating courses for Classy Mandarin. A year ago, I decided to go public with my work, and since I'm not a fan of being on camera, I use writing to share ideas and connect with people.

As a native Mandarin speaker who studied English and Dutch, I know what it's like to be an intermediate learner stuck in that textbook phase, constantly translating in your head. It's a feeling I've had myself.

The truth is, speaking Mandarin like a native isn't just about getting the perfect tones—it's about the overall flow of your sentences.

I want to give you that native touch you need to sound native even without the perfect tones. Join my exclusive Intonation Mastery class.
