Von 66.56 € /Std

Mandarin Chinese is a beautiful and widely spoken language that opens the door to Chinese culture, history, and communication with over a billion people.

I am a native Mandarin speaker from Beijing, currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Management and Economics at ETH Zurich. I have rich experience in tutoring and international communication, and I enjoy helping students from different backgrounds improve their language skills.

My lessons are tailored to your needs and goals. You will learn accurate pronunciation (pinyin and tones), essential vocabulary, grammar, and everyday expressions. For intermediate and advanced learners, I also offer training in writing, business Chinese, cultural insights, and HSK exam preparation.

I focus on interactive, practical, and enjoyable teaching methods to help you build confidence and use Mandarin naturally in real-life situations.

As scientists admit, music improves language skills, logical thinking, concentration, and has therapeutical effect on us. For me, playing the violin has proved to be that and much more. It has been connecting all the elements of my life - work, dreams of travelling around the world, my social life, my family. They say it is one of the most difficult instruments, but the truth is, it is difficult only if you make it difficult. My aim is to make my students fascinated by it any time they take it in their hands. In my work I concentrate on the needs and interests of the student and work on technique, music knowledge and joy in playing through games, special excercises and my own 27 years of experience in playing the violin.

I am a full-time professional Chinese Mandarin teacher from the North of China where Mandarin comes from.

You can study with me online /come to my office/ Go-home lessons. Classes can be one-to-one or group classes.

I have been helping numerous people learn to speak Chinese and do exam HSK. Children always have fun learning Mandarin with me. I teach Mandarin for business purposes, traveling, YCT (for Children and teenagers), BCT (business Chinese), Conversational practice, Advanced level Chinese classes, etc. Any levels are all welcome.

HSK class: Level 1--Level 6
HSKK class: HSK speaking test (Beginner to advanced)

I am fun, active, very patient, and responsible. I have never come late to all of my classes for more than 10 years.
For children's classes, I prepare songs, videos, cartoons, teaching and explaining at the same time, They learn really fast and never feel bored when they are excited with a fun teacher and materials. I believe that interest is the best teacher. So I try my best to prepare before classes and send materials after classes to students.

Hei!
I come from a beautiful fjord in Norway called Ryfylke and recently moved to Dreiländereck in Ötlingen, a village overlooking the vineyards.

My teaching experience ranges from beginners to advanced. I am a dedicated, passionate teacher who loves to pass on my knowledge of music. I believe the essence of teaching is to encourage the artist within to focus on expression and experience the connection to oneself.

Music for me is all about connecting to your own feelings and inner world, and finding a way to share this with other artists and listeners. I teach violin with the help of imagination as well as great methods. I focus on the joy of discipline and focus rather then being rigid. I guide you to discover yourself, your inner voice that constitutes the artist you are.

Optional focus and guidance - I have experience in trauma healing and addressing blockages that hinder joyful playing. I encourage students to explore their true self as an artist. This approach not only facilitates learning an instrument and understanding music but also helps individuals find their unique voice in life, leading to immense joy!

I teach both at home, your home if convenient, or on Lessonface. I speak English, and some German, and of course Norwegian<3

We can learn having a good time! For me, the most important thing is that after every class you end up with something new to keep you interested in this awesome experience that is music!
I have 3 years of experience teaching all ages and levels, so I can completely adapt to your pace of learning and make it an easy and fast process of skill improving.

My name is Clara and I'm a cellist, teacher, and performer in Basel. I'm active in many different genres myself, which is why I can teach a wide variety of things on the cello :) It's important to me to create a learning atmosphere where both student and teacher feel comfortable. Student and teacher should meet as equals, as learning is most effective in a trusting environment.

Where do I come from musically?

It has always been important to me to explore all the possibilities my instrument offers. And to be honest, I'm not finished yet; the cello has so many facets to discover! I've already tried many different styles. I completed my Master's degree in Contemporary Music at the Basel Academy of Music in 2025. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Artistic Pedagogy in Freiburg. This gives me a solid foundation for teaching the instrument in a playful way and for unlocking the creativity of my students.

Can you also find me on stage?

Yes, mostly with my jazzy indie-pop band "Partiprivati". We write our own songs and I'm usually responsible for a good bassline :)

But also with Percaso String Quartet, with whom we only play string quartet works by women.

Or in Ensemble IPSO, a music theater project in which we try to blend the boundaries between music, theater and dance.

And always with solo performances at vernissages.

I have a solidarity pricing system, if it concerns you, feel free to write :)
Lessons at the student’s home and preferably in Riehen.
