Our Teachers
Meet the awesome Mandarin Monkey teachers
Ula Cain
Teacher
“If it doesn’t go right, go left”
In Ula’s world, learning Mandarin is never boring. Unexpectedly entertaining? Hilariously exhilarating? All at once difficult, funny and exciting? Yup. That’s more like it. She speaks English, Mandarin and Taiwanese, and when she’s not playing Mandaboo professionally, co-hosting the Mandarin Monkey podcast, being the #1 mom (officially), or adding to her list of already-seen horror movies, there’s no Mandarin challenge she won’t laugh at.
Amy Chen
TEACHER
“Learning a new language is exploring a new world.”
Amy’s love for exploring the world sparked her interest in languages. She speaks Mandarin, Taiwanese, English and Cantonese. Her teaching style can be summed up by the Chinese idiom “jiào xué xiāng zhǎng 教学相长,” which says teaching is as good for the teacher as for the student! Fun fact: she’s also a fēng shuǐ and Chinese fortune telling pro.
Beny Hong
TEacher
“The joy of teaching a language is sharing a culture.”
Beny is fluent in Taiwanese, Mandarin and Spanish. Her advice to her future students is to be like a joyful warrior. That takes bravery to make mistakes and tackle hard topics, being open-minded to try new ways to study, and squeezing more fun out of your Mandarin practice. Her teaching style taps into culture for a refreshing take on learning that isn’t all about grammar.
Cynthia Wang
Teacher
“Take a chance on yourself and you might surprise yourself.”
Have you ever learned something difficult, yet it felt easy? That’s the kind of teaching Cynthia is all about. If a complex Mandarin topic is getting you all tied up in knots, she loves jumping in and helping you untangle it, and then using it to play jump rope games. “Learning is fun” could be her motto although just like Nike, she doesn’t say it, she does it.
