LISTEN - SPEAK - WRITE/TYPE in MANDARIN (native speaker with tutoring experience, also native in German and fluent in English)

From 30 € /h

Let me help you learn Mandarin as your 2nd, 3rd or 4th language.
Depending on your level and your desired focus, I can teach you how to:

- Master the 4 different DENOTING TONES
- Read and pronounce PIN YIN (Romanized Spelling System)
- Read and pronounce Mandarin Characters (simplified and traditional)
- Enrich your VOCABULARY
- Structure sentences, tenses, grammar

- Learn and understand OLD SAWS/SPRICHWÖRTER
- Practice talking and CONVERSATIONS
- Understand CULTURAL sensitivities and POLITENESS during encounters with native speakers

I myself am a native speaker. However, my Dad is German and has acquired Mandarin as his 3rd language. Moreover, I grew up in Germany, so my mom had to teach me how to especially read and write.
Therefore, I know how non-natives should approach the study of this language - listening, reading, writing and speaking!

PROOFREADING (English/German) - Research Papers/Essays/Motivation Letters/CVs

29 € /h

Let me proofread, correct your essay/draft
or even transform your mere thoughts/bulletpoints into an elaborate text.

I was hired by Leiden University College's Writing Studio to help undergrade students in any form of academic writing. Usually I helped Bachelor students with starting and finishing their research papers, but also proofread other forms of essays, motivation letters and CVs.

I helped at any stage - with brainstorming, formulating the research question, structuring the argumentation, the conclusion, correcting grammar/formatting mistakes, or I improved essays in their stylistic/rhetoric quality.

So let me know what type of improvement your work needs and I will have a look.
