Helping Children Build Fluency, Confidence, and a Love for Chinese Language & Culture
ABOUT JANE
Before moving to the U.S., Tutor Jane spent many years teaching Mandarin to students in China, deepening her expertise in language instruction. Since 2005, she has been guiding students in the Bay Area, from ages 5 through high school, in mastering Mandarin—both written and verbal. Her approach blends structured learning with interactive activities, ensuring children not only learn the language but also develop a lasting connection to Chinese culture. She is well-loved by her students for her warm teaching style, yet she also delivers strong academic results, preparing students for fluency, literacy, and success in exams.

"Tutor Jane has been teaching my daughter (a non-native speaker) since 2018 through high school. Her structured in-depth lessons, enjoyable projects and strategies to reinforce speaking, reading and writing were key to my daughter's successful progress through AP Chinese (score of 5). She owes her love for learning the language to tutor Jane and is now pursuing Minor in Mandarin. I will strongly recommend her classes to whoever is interested in learning Mandarin the fun way."

"During the COVID pandemic, my son's Mandarin immersion after school program closed, and we were fortunate enough to learn of Ms. Jane's Mandarin classes. If it wasn't for Ms. Jane and her Mandarin classes, my son would still be in Kindergarten grade Mandarin as a middle schooler! Ms. Jane is a dedicated teacher who truly cares about her students as individuals and as her pupils. Her passion in teaching the language and the culture is palpable and even the most reluctant student becomes successful in learning Mandarin. Thank you Ms. Jane for your commitment and enthusiasm!"

"Studying mandarin with Sun Lao Shi not only prepared me to succeed on the AP Chinese exam, but also in my college Chinese classes. Her lessons helped me build confidence in my speaking skills and greatly strengthen my reading and writing. Sun Lao Shi makes her classes engaging and interesting, and I always looked forward to her tutoring!"

“My son studied with Sun Lao Shi from preschool through high school, and both my son and I highly recommend her for all ages. She is a talented teacher who is able to read and adapt to each student's needs. She was able to make classes fun yet challenging to keep his interest. He enjoyed classes and is proud to know Mandarin.”

"Jane Sun is a gifted and dedicated educator. She cares deeply about her students — fostering a kind and nurturing teaching environment while also maintaining excellence. My highschool senior has studied with Jane for almost 15 years, achieving native speaker fluency and a tremendous grounding knowledge of Chinese culture and history. We are tremendously grateful to have Jane in our lives and recommend her without reservation."

"Ms. Sun has been an amazing teacher to work with! After taking her classes over high school, I was able to travel to China and have no issues with communication. If you are serious learner, I'd definitely recommend giving her classes a try."
