Hey! I’m Matt!

More than just a Mandarin learning hub, this is a lab dedicated to mastering the art of efficient learning.

I’m a baking enthusiast, K-pop fan, and traveler who is obsessed with the science of "learning better." Here, I turn complex grammar into bite-sized, easy-to-digest lessons helping you achieve fluency efficiently and enjoy the sweet taste of success.

My journey began with a Japanese major and a love for desserts. An exchange in Korea sparked my teaching career, leading me to pursue a Master’s in Teaching Chinese at National Chengchi University.

Having learned Japanese, Korean, and Thai, I combine personal empathy with classroom-based research to help you master Mandarin effectively.

I currently teach at Tamkang University and the online Mandarin school, Taiwan Talk.

I have extensive experience in intensive language programs, having taught at the 2025 Harvard Taipei Academy as well as the winter intensive Mandarin programs for Kwangwoon University and Dongduk University in Korea.

My teaching methodology emphasizes 'guided questioning' and 'high-frequency practice,' with a dedication to empowering every student to speak Mandarin with confidence

I’ve been creating Mandarin teaching videos since 2023 and have released three online courses to date.

In addition to the wealth of free learning materials on YouTube and Instagram, you can also catch my latest episodes on my Podcast.

Stay tuned for more upcoming series focused on language acquisition！
