About
As a native Chinese speaker with a strong educational background in China, I bring a deep understanding of Mandarin and its nuances. Having lived and worked in various cultural settings, including as a Russian-Chinese interpreter for 20 years, I am fluent in both English and Russian. My expertise lies in guiding students through the complexities of Chinese grammar and
language mastery. With a tailored approach, I ensure that each student not only comprehends but excels in their language journey, equipping them with fluency and sophistication in Chinese.
I offer a complimentary half-hour consultation. Please schedule one, and we can discuss your goals and how I can help you achieve them. My tutoring services are available for high schools students and adults students.

My experience with Standard Mandarin (Yingshuang) has been great. My guess is that she is excellent for all levels of learners. In my particular case, I had been doing Duolingo for two years, which was going well, but working with Yingshuang has really elevated substantially my understanding of what I had been learning. I feel like I am now building a very solid platform on which to achieve real Mandarin competency and, eventually, fluency. She also is just a very nice person. I highly recommend Yingshuang/Standard Mandarin.

I'm so happy I chose to restart learning Mandarin with her--I had a bit of an odd starting point, as I used to be be pretty fluent in Mandarin from time in China, but had lost almost all speaking and all of my writing ability over the past 5-6 years. I still have a very unequal distribution of listening comprehension vs. speaking with correct grammar abilities, but Yin Laoshi has been amazingly flexible and adapted to my changing abilities and progression as we work through the HSK books. I have been super impressed with her ability to tailor our in-person lessons to my unique situation, interspersing interesting tidbits about radical structures with basic grammar points from the books and advanced vocabulary that I can sometimes dredge up a memory of.
She is a great teacher, provides good structure, always on time, and clearly has the whole structure of learning Mandarin remotely down to a T: she will sometimes reference the book and chapter number that we're going to cover a concept or grammar point I ask about from memory, and then sends me the info immediately, and several times has sent me better explanations from other books of a given word or usage. Highly recommend if she's taking students, you won't find a better value!

If you really want to learn Chinese Mandarin this is the teacher I tried several teachers before but either they didn't have structure or I was just memorizing words, Yingshuan gives you the foundation to Mandarin, on your own you will not understand the why. After a few lessons you notice your progressing but no matter what you need to put in the work, she is patience and she goes out of her way to work with your schedule.
I'm glad I found her.

Yingshuang is a great Mandarin teacher. I contacted her as a complete beginner and have seen great progress since starting my lessons. I can confidently ask questions and communicate within particular scenarios, after only a few months tutoring! Yingshuang is patient and will help you keep moving forward. Practice is a must with Mandarin as it is a hard language to learn but Yingshuang will help you address problems you're having and give you recommendations along the way. We have built a great student/teacher relationship and I look forward to continuing my lessons throughout this year!
