About Me

Hello! I’m a native Chinese speaker with a passion for languages and teaching.

I studied at Nanjing Normal University for my bachelor’s degree and continued my master’s studies at Erasmus University. I speak Chinese, English, and Italian, with an IELTS 8 (C1 English) and CILS C1 in Italian.

For the past three years, I’ve taught students from young children to adults. My lessons are always interactive, supportive, and tailored to each learner’s needs. I see teaching not only as a job but as a way to connect cultures. My goal is to make Chinese learning enjoyable, motivating, and meaningful, so that every student feels progress and pride in their journey.

Literature in English language is a very broad term. The biggest number of popular English language texts comes from the USA and the UK, however, there are many other places where English is spoken as a native language and interesting texts are produced.
You can learn with me the following subjects:
1. American literature (including native American literature).
2. British literature (including Welsh and Scottish literature).
3. Selected areas of literature in English from Canada, Australia, India and South Africa.

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

Hello friends! my name is sun I am currently completing my master's degree in Latin American Studies at the University of Leiden. If you want to learn or improve your Spanish, do not hesitate to contact me! Spanish is my mother tongue and if you just want to practice, we can also organize some more informal conversations in which I can correct your mistakes by talking about reading or just about something you enjoy. Also, if you are already a Spanish student, I can help you correct your mistakes to improve your academic writing. In addition, if you like Latin American culture and would like to know more about it, we can also schedule a couple of basic lessons about it and make a personal program with the topics you like.

Tired of your italian friends mocking you for your "bad" cooking skills? Bored of using the same old italian phrases while on vacation? Want to give your second-generation kids the chance to fluently communicate with their grandparents? This class is for you, and for whoever fell in love with italian culture and its chaotic people.

We will address all language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading) in a relaxed one-to-one environment, while alternating the necessary grammar and vocabulary learning with language games, music and interactive discussions on news. My class will be held in Italian and English, and it will be tailored to the needs of the student. Assignments will be given after every class.

ENGLISH:

Are you just starting with Italian and do you want to speed up the process? Are you already experienced and do you want to master the language even better? Or do you have an Italian partner and you would love to be able to speak with them in their language? Or do you perhaps have to pass an official language exam? I am sure I will be the right tutor for you.

PLEASE NOTE, THE BOOKING SCHEDULE IS NOT ADJUSTED. WE SHALL ORGANIZE THE TIME OF THE LESSONS TOGETHER VIA MESSAGES.

A bit about me, I am Cloé, I am half Italian and French but always lived in Florence, Italy, and now study in The Hague.
I miss my home country so I decided to spread "Italianity" by teaching it to whoever wants to learn our beautiful language.
Studying Italian will open a gateway for you onto one of the world's most beautiful languages and one of its richest cultures. Because of the history of the country, Italian is not just the language of Italy but of the world. You'll discover our culture and impress your family by ordering with confidence at an authentic Italian restaurant or directly in Italy.

I'll help you learn the basics of the language or if you already have an advanced level we'll practice speaking skills and more advanced facts about Italy, far from the typical stereotypes.

My goal is to provide students with the knowledge and experience to communicate fluently in Spanish, by having fun and an enjoyable experience. During the class, the students will have the opportunity to practice their speaking, listening, reading, and writing, by communicating and learning from a Colombian native speaker.

To meet the socio-political challenges of our globalized 21st-century, you need two things: a) critical thinking and communication in English; c) general 'cultural awareness' of the world's competing ideologies. I will lead you to master both of these essential domains simultaneously, using expertise I have gained in England, Czechia, Peru, and Holland.

In our first session, we will draw up a tailor-made curriculum for your current goals and interests. For instance, I can quickly clear up the basic context for a difficult language & literature class you are taking. I can teach you the writing and analysis skills needed to excel at top universities in the Humanities or Political Science. And I can help you communicate well with international work partners from Eastern Europe, the Islamic World, or the Americas. Whatever obstacles you're facing, at any stage of your path as a global thinker and citizen, we will tackle them.

Japanese is a fascinating and complex language that opens doors to a rich cultural heritage and exciting opportunities. Even as a native speaker, I find that the more I learn, the deeper my love for the language grows. Born and raised in Kyushu, the southern part of Japan, I've spent the last five years traveling around the world. This unique experience has given me invaluable insights into Japanese culture from both an insider's and an outsider's perspective. Whether you're planning a trip to Japan, aiming to enhance your career prospects, or simply exploring a new interest, this course is designed to provide you with the skills and confidence to communicate effectively in Japanese.
