Bei Liu(Annabelle Liu)

Hello everyone, my name is Bei Liu, I graduated from GuiZhou Education College. I joined Nihao Mandarin School in April 2016. I have worked as an English teacher and Head of Youth League Committee in a vocational school in China for five years. I earned my Bachelor of Education degree in China and completed my MBA degree in Oxford Brooks University in UK.

Working as a Mandarin teacher in Nihao has brought back all the happy memories I had in China, I really enjoy my time here, the experience has helped me develop a set of beliefs about how I can best help my students learn and grow, more importantly, understand and appreciate Chinese traditions and culture.  

I have taught in different grades, including junior and senior levels, each child has their own personality, ideas and skills, my teaching is tailored to each child's preferred ways of learning so they can all explore the beauty of Chinese language and culture.

Hope you enjoy your time in Nihao.

I have worked as a teacher for the last 26 years. I believe that with excellent professional knowledge, a positive and motivated teacher can make learning languages an enjoyable and inspiring experience for the students. At Nihao mandarin School, I am responsible for teaching GCSE class and for the Chinese Native Speakers' class.

Weiwei Yang

Bachelor of Politics and Communication from the University of Liverpool, Master of Creativity and Media from the University of Warwick. Currently mainly engaged in pharmaceutical market analysis and translation, with nearly 20 years of work experience in the field of Chinese English translation, including translation of advertising and public relations copywriting for many well-known Chinese and overseas brands. Joined the Nihao family in 2023 and has since taught in both primary and secondary sections hence accumulated valuable experience in teaching Chinese to children from different age groups. In future teaching, I hope to not only teach students language knowledge, but also lead them to feel the charm of Chinese culture. I’m also dedicated to continuous learning and making progress, and strive to become a responsible, patient and creative Chinese teacher.

Xiaonan Zhou

I have a strong passion for education and truly enjoy working with children. During my time as a teaching assistant at the school, I gained valuable hands-on experience, which further strengthened my commitment to pursuing a career in education.

I hold a degree in English, which has provided me with a systematic understanding of language learning. While studying English, I not only acquired a second language but also developed a deeper appreciation for the beauty and structure of my native language — Chinese. This cross-language learning experience allows me to better understand the challenges students may face when learning a second language, and to guide and encourage them in a way that aligns with how children think and learn best.

In my future teaching, I hope to combine my professional knowledge and enthusiasm to help children learn Chinese with joy, build confidence, and develop genuine interest.

I believe it is important to create a safe and fun environment for children and to encourage learning through play.
