I am going to offer very tailored lessons based on the student ́s progress and interest. Yin Cai Shi Jiao (因材施教) is one of my teaching philosophy. It is a saying from Confucius, which means use such teaching methods as are best adapted to the students.

Here is the general timeline:
Before the first session, there will be a meet up between me and the student to know each other and set up the study goal together. The first lesson and high level course plan for the first month will be prepared. At the end of each lesson, the feedback will be collected and the plan for the coming courses will be adjust accordingly.

About me:
I have a minor degree in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language from Beijing Language and Culture University.
I had various teaching experience. I used to work as an English Teacher in China, a Chinese teacher in a Chinese School in Den Haag, tutoring students HSK exams.
I love teaching Chinese. It is my hobby and passion. I have a master degree from Leiden University and live in Amsterdam and working full time in Financial Industry.

Hello everyone! I'm a professional teacher in different areas that include languages: Chinese (Mandarin), English, Russian. I have been teaching for about 10 years since I started my bachelor’s degree in Chinese studies and world literature in Ukraine. I have also worked as an early childhood educator in Shanghai for over 3 years. I love to work with children of different ages. I like to imply Friedrich Froebel's educational method, when children construct their understanding of the world through direct experience of it in play (free self-activity, creativity, social participation and motor expression). I have experience in both kindergarten and home education. I have also given Russian classes to adults and I can prepare all the necessary materials for you based on your level, but you can also provide your own materials. The courses cover the following areas: general language, oral language, reading and writing.

On request: world literature and creative writing, scientific writing, Chinese calligraphy.

My background:
Bachelor's in Chinese and World Literature (Ukraine)
Master’s in Media & News (China)
