Editor’s Pick: MandarinX
<p>This week we spoke with Estella Chen, Founder of MandarinX, which aims to connect you with high quality and certified Mandarin tutors around the world that help you learn Mandarin with a personalized approach. We spoke about the different focus points within the company, what it’s like being an entrepreneur in the US and next steps for MandarinX.</p>
<p><strong>What is the inspiration behind starting MandarinX?</strong></p>
<p><em>It all started because I happened to speak these two languages since I was little. When I was a kid, no one cared about speaking Mandarin Chinese as they do now, but my parents insisted that I should at least be fluent in these two languages. So I spent one year in LA learning English and another year in Taipei learning my mother language, Mandarin Chinese, since childhood. Being a language teacher for 20 years, I have taught both English and also Mandarin Chinese. It upset me that there were no premium courses with readily available, highly qualified teachers for this in the market. Therefore, I was committed to producing top-tier Mandarin Chinese courses with the best teachers to create a high-end market.</em></p>
