About Nicky
I grew up in China, spent six years living and studying in London (UCL), and I'm now in Melbourne for my Master's. Which means I've spent most of my adult life as the person bridging two very different worlds — and somewhere along the way, I realised I genuinely love doing it.
Here's what that means for you: I don't just teach you words. I teach you why Chinese people say things the way they do. Why a phrase that sounds rude in translation is actually warm in context. Why certain topics make a Chinese person light up, and others go quiet. The stuff that makes a language feel alive.
My background is in tech and product management — I'm trained to take complicated things and make them make sense. I'll do the same with Mandarin.
If you're curious about China — not just the language, but the culture, the humour, the modern chaos of it — I think we'll have a lot to talk about.

Lessons are conversation-first. We might talk about why Chinese internet has its own parallel universe, how to read the mood at a Chinese dinner table, or just how to stop sounding like a textbook when you order food.
The language follows the curiosity — not the other way around.
I adapt to wherever you are: complete beginner, rusty intermediate, or someone who just wants to understand what their Chinese colleagues are actually saying in the group chat. First lesson is free — let's just have a chat and see if we click.
