Lena
Chinese/ Chinois (Mandarin) Spoken Course for All Levels
你好! I am Lena. I hold a bachelor's degree of Teaching Chinese as a Second Language, and I did my Master degree in Social Science in the UK. I am now currently doing an internship in Switzerland. My experience working and studying in different continents enabled me to understand different languages, and spread Chinese culture and language among my international friends. Chinese is a charming language with substantial historic and cultural contexts. If you feel like learning Mandarin, practice to get emotionally and situationally involved in the language is one of the most effective approach. In this way, you’ll remember things a lot better if you feel it when you learn it. This isn’t only my experience. In the courses, I will be able to provide suggestions for suitable learning materials, and help you to find a approach that suits you to improve your spoken Chinese. The content of the course will be designed based on your practical use and interest, and I will combine the most interesting and trendy issues with the topics to enable an enjoyable learning experience.The course could be delivered both online of offline (If you are currently in Geneva). Besides the mentioned above, I am very keen on discussing about the food, history, tourist attractions, and other cool stuffs in China, as well as my own interesting experiences in different countries. I also have knowledge and experience of Chinese Calligraphy, and it could be introduced and practiced in the courses too. If you are interested, feel free to ask a question or send me a message. Let's break down learning Mandarin while making new friends!

Chinese Lessons for Beginner Learners - 1 Hour Classes
Hi there! I'm from Singapore, and I'm proficient in both English and Mandarin Chinese. The former is my native language, and the latter, my Mother Tongue. I've done my academic studies in both languages, and lived in Singapore - a country where both languages are used everywhere, most of my life. The lessons would follow a 4 week plan, where the aim is for students to achieve an elementary level of speaking in Mandarin Chinese, as well as a basic level of written Mandarin (simplified version). You'll be learning useful words and phrases tweaked to fit your interests / daily activities.

Mandarin Chinese, traditional or simplified, Pinyin or Zhuyin
I am from Taiwan, Formosa where Mandarin Chinese is an official language using traditional Chinese words. I learned Chinese as a foreign language at the National Taiwan University, an institution where they do the practice and research of Chinese as a foreign language very deeply, which gives training to Taiwanese students who want to be a Chinese language teacher at school. foreigners as well as foreign students who want to learn the Chinese language in a short time in a very effective way. My teaching style is always warm, lively and dynamic. I have one year of experience teaching Chinese to beginners, advanced foreign students in Geneva, and 7 years of experience giving the Spanish course via Zoom online. For beginner students, I will use French and Chinese at the same time, slowing down the speaking speed (if it's Chinese); for advanced students I will use 100% Chinese, in case there is any problem I will explain in French in a very easy to understand way. Both Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters are available, along with Taiwanese phonetic notation (Zhuyin) and Chinese Pinyin. There will be homework to do in order to progress well and know how to write the Chinese word.

Mandarin Chinese courses: Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced
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.

Reading and writing is available (and recommended), but optional. As a non-native speaker, I know what it is to learn Chinese at a later age. Textbooks, workbook exercises and additional character writing exercises are included in the price.

Gwendolyn
Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levels
I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives. I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job. I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!
