Mandarin Chinese courses: Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Àpd 49.09 $ /h

With a master's degree in Sinology (KULeuven, 2015), years of professional experience in the field and 6 years of experience in the Chinese Minor bachelor programme and evening courses at VUB, I'm confident that my courses offer an efficient and comprehensive path to Chinese language proficiency.

This class provides tailor-made Chinese language courses for any age. By default, the course focusses on oral communication (listening and speaking skills) with a large amount of interaction.

Textbooks, workbook exercises and additional character writing exercises are included in the price.

Tailor-made courses on Chinese culture, eg. history, philosophy, society, economy, popculture,...

49.09 $ /h

This private class offers an exploration into rich and complex tapestry that is Chinese culture. Based on your interest, you'll learn more about Chinese history, philosophy, traditional and modern Chinese society, literature, religion, etc.

With China's importance on the international stage growing incessantly, I believe it's very useful to understand the Chinese way of thinking, to develop awareness of cultural sensitivities and to gain some insight in the history that structures China's perspective on the world.

Originally structured as a lecture-based course, the content can also be restructured into a more interactive learning design. Whether you're interested in ancient classical philosophy, dynastic history, modern Chinese society and popculture or the economic development of China, this course has something to offer.

Hello, law student and philosophy (master), I offer private lessons Mandarin. Of Shanghainese origin, I offer my services to those who are interested in Chinese language and culture.

My goal is to advance the linguistic knowledge of the student without overloading him, and while remaining in a playful atmosphere. In order for the linguistic experience to be enriching and interesting, I integrate, in addition, cultural, literary and social elements in this course.

In general, classes consist of four parts: oral, written, audition and cultural understanding. For those who are starting learning, there is also a basic writing part (PIN YIN and basic ideograph study). But, I can also adapt the courses according to the particular requirements of the student (exam, quick knowledge for a business trip, etc.)

In general, I propose a weekly work (vocabulary review, reading an excerpt or watching a Chinese movie (for advanced students), etc.) and evaluate the progress of the course once a month so to quickly remedy certain shortcomings. Thank you for wanting to trust me and see you soon!

Dinara

My name is Dinara, and I have been teaching Chinese for over 15 years. I hold a degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. Languages are my true passion — I speak several of them, and this experience helps me better understand the challenges my students face when learning Chinese.

When teaching, I focus on what matters most: communication. My students don’t just memorize characters and grammar rules — they learn how to speak Chinese confidently. Many beginners are intimidated by Chinese writing, but I make it simple and engaging by introducing characters through associations and stories. After all, Chinese characters are pictures:
• 人 means “person” (a figure walking, seen from the side)
• 从 means “to follow” (two people walking together)
• 众 means “crowd” (three people together)

The Chinese language is in many ways easier than English. Its grammar is straightforward, without endings, prefixes, or suffixes. In Chinese, many words are very visual and logical — they are compound words, similar to English examples like blackboard, toothbrush, or snowman.
For instance:
• “to fly + machine” = airplane
• “ice + box” = refrigerator
• “fire + mountain” = volcano
This way of building words makes Chinese vocabulary easier to understand and remember.

Due to a busy teaching schedule, I currently teach exclusively online. I also lead a team of native Chinese teachers who are fluent in English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, and Italian. I personally trained each of them in my teaching method. With this system, students can progress from beginner to HSK 5 in just two years, enabling them to use Chinese for work purposes and to study at universities in China. My students have successfully gone on to work at the European Parliament, large corporations, Chinese companies, and pursue studies in China.

Beyond lessons, I create opportunities for students to immerse themselves in the language. Every summer, I organize a four-week study program at a Chinese university. We also hold regular visits to Chinese restaurants, where students practice their speaking skills in a real cultural environment.

Chinese is an essential tool for expressing oneself and understanding the world. I offer comprehensive instruction, from basic Pinyin, Zhuyin, and Chinese character writing to advanced reading comprehension and essay writing skills, while also strengthening oral expression and listening comprehension. Learning Chinese not only improves academic performance but also cultivates logical thinking and confidence, laying a solid foundation for future learning of other subjects.

I will impart native speaker learning methods through engaging and relatable cultural sharing.
