There are some other classes that welcome you to message me.

I grew up and had educations in China. I moved to Europe for teaching Chinese in 2019 Nov.
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.

The classes can be taught in Chinese, English.
Extra information
1. Before class, if you like to use my school classroom software you can download it, but if you would rather use Skype that is also fine.
2. All the levels of PowerPoint and materials I will prepare for you. Just let me know your level of Chinese and what is the main parts you want to improve. For example, spoken Chinese, reading and writing Chinese, HSK exam, Children's class, etc. If you have your own materials this is also welcome.
3. After every class, I will send you what we have learned in the class, videos(some recordings of my voice to read the book and explanation), pdf, etc. You can use it for review. Most students after class if don't have sound materials they can't remember exactly the sentences or words' pronunciation.
4. In adult classes, I would like you to take notes if you don't mind. I'll explain a lot of grammars and use them in sentences.
5. 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. After classes, I also give them videos for review. Those are very important parts.
I believe that interest is the best teacher. So I try my best not only to do efficient in-class teaching also to prepare before classes and send materials after classes to students. Studying languages is not only to take the class.

Learning Chinese isn't as stressful as it seems. The key is to have fun and to constantly practice with a native speaker. I teach Chinese for both speaking, writing and reading. I have been tutoring Chinese for years and I have designed various exercises for learning Pinyin, practicing standard pronunciation with gesture as well as daily communicative exercises.
