    Standard Mandarin from a native Beijinger; Academic Exchanges with a PhD student in physics at CERN
    I am a physics PhD student based at CERN from China's prestigious Tsinghua University (Beijing), bringing authentic language skills and cultural insights directly to our community. As a native speaker with a strong academic background, I offer structured yet flexible Mandarin lessons tailored to your individual goals – whether you're a complete beginner, looking to improve conversation for collaboration or travel, or seeking deeper cultural understanding. Take advantage of having a dedicated teacher conveniently located on-site. P.S.: My French is poor, so please make sure you can speak English before taking this course. P.P.S.: I am an experimental physicist and can tutor physics in Chinese if you want 😅 or in English as well.
