Find Your Perfect Chinese-Speaking Ski Instructor

TeachMeSki is a platform that matches Mandarin-speaking travelers with experienced Chinese-speaking ski instructors at Japan's top resorts. Post a free lesson request and let instructors reach out to you directly. Coverage includes Hokkaido, Hakuba Valley (Nagano), Yuzawa (Niigata), Iwate, and Zao (Yamagata).

Pricing is set by each instructor individually, typically as half day or full day rates (each instructor decides the exact lesson length — commonly around 3–4 hours for half day and ~6 hours for full day). Exact prices are shown on every instructor's profile. Posting a lesson request on TeachMeSki is free — you only commit once a booking is confirmed.

All certifications (CSIA, CASI, NZSIA, PSIA, SIA Japan) and credential photos displayed on instructor profiles are self-reported and uploaded by the instructors themselves. TeachMeSki does not independently verify these credentials with the issuing bodies. We recommend confirming qualifications directly with the instructor before booking. The "Identity verified" badge, however, does indicate the instructor has bound their LINE account for identity verification with us.
