HSK & YCT & BCT Chinese standard language test preparation

Chinese is well known as a difficult language with tones and using characters totally different from alphabet. But with my 4 years of teaching Chinese as second language in University Gent as a full time lecture, 9 years experience in Wuhan University before I came to Belgium, my Belgian students starting from zero can managed to speak without foreign accent and pass HSK 4 after 1 year study. If you are looking for professional tutor and willing to put effort into it, I'm here for you.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
13 years of teaching Chinese as a second language at University as a lecturer.

Authorized examiner of HSK (Chinese TOEFL), YCT, BCT, and PSC (Mandarin level test for Chinese native speaker)
My class includes grammar, listening, oral, and writing. It will be an intensive private class requiring preview and homework for around 2 hours. Each time 1.5 hours for a personal class is recommended. 5 minutes to review what you have learned last time, 30 minutes to explain the grammar, 20 minutes to practice, 20 for listening, 10 minutes for writing, 5 minutes break.

Every 30-40 hours you are supposed to reach one level of HSK. HSK 1 equals A1 in the European language level system.
With HSK 3 you can survive in China while traveling. With HSK 4 you can go to a Chinese University to take courses in China.
I can also write your commendation letter to apply for a Chinese scholarship if you want to study in China. With Chinese, the biggest job market in the world is there for you.

Chinese is indeed a difficult language. That's why you need a good teacher knowing how to teach.

I really recommend Lin for everyone who wants to learn Chinese the proper way. She puts a large focus on the fundamentals such as pronouncing the syllables just as native Chinese would do it. She has an extensive background as a renowned Chinese teacher in Wuhan and knows the ins and outs of the official HSK exams. Her way of teaching is interactive and contains a lot of variety. She is also very flexible. For example, she was open to have video calls in between classes to check up on my progress. Lin is definitely the person to go too if you want to take the challenge of learning madarin!

Xiaodan
How to effectively improve Chinese level from zero to fluent conversation
More and more people are planning to learn Chinese for travel, work needs or simply because they are curious and interested in the language. The pronunciation and writing system of Chinese is very different from that of the Dutch and Latin languages, and it also becomes a huge obstacle in learning Chinese. It is the aim of the courses I teach to help you overcome all obstacles in the Chinese learning process. As a student of English literature, I can understand the relationship between languages and how I can help you create this relationship.

Sarah
Tailor-made language courses: French, English and Chinese online and in person
My pedagogy is based on teaching in harmony with the learner (their language level, their objectives, their passions, their difficulties, etc.) while ensuring that they are active in their learning. To do this, it is important to start with a diagnostic assessment to adapt a program according to the learner's needs. At the end of each course, a follow-up will be completed, in order to have a written record of the objectives achieved, the language skills worked on, the difficulties encountered, among others.

Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it. I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature. Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.
