Xin 欣
University Student大家好呀，我叫小新！我是杭州人，现在在浙江大学读计算机。我奶奶是小学老师，从小教我说标准的普通话。我特别喜欢教外国朋友学中文，希望能帮到你们！

"Hey everyone, I'm Xin! I'm from Hangzhou and currently studying computer science at Zhejiang University. My grandma was an elementary school teacher, so she made sure I spoke perfect Mandarin from a young age. I love teaching Chinese to international friends, and I hope I can help you too!"
慢慢来，比较快。
Go slowly — it is faster that way.
About Xin
Xin grew up in Hangzhou surrounded by the soft cadences of Zhejiang dialect, but her Mandarin is textbook-standard — her grandmother, a retired elementary school teacher, made sure of that. Now a junior studying computer science at Zhejiang University, she splits her time between debugging Python scripts and teaching exchange students Chinese over bubble tea. She believes every language learner deserves a patient voice, and she speaks at the pace she wishes someone had used when she was struggling through her first lines of English.
