Présentation

I have studied in multiple countries, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Belgium, Australia, and Malta, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and language learning experiences. Throughout my education, I was immersed in school programs taught in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Dutch.

My passion for languages extends beyond the teaching —I enjoy learning new languages myself and understanding the challenges and strategies that come with it. I have also completed teacher training with a linguistics course, which allows me to understand both the theory and the practical aspects of language acquisition. Because of this, I know how it feels to learn a new language and what learners truly need. For me, language learning should be fun and engaging, and I hope my students feel the same! 😊

Dinara

My name is Dinara, and I have been teaching Chinese for over 15 years. I hold a degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. Languages are my true passion — I speak several of them, and this experience helps me better understand the challenges my students face when learning Chinese.

When teaching, I focus on what matters most: communication. My students don’t just memorize characters and grammar rules — they learn how to speak Chinese confidently. Many beginners are intimidated by Chinese writing, but I make it simple and engaging by introducing characters through associations and stories. After all, Chinese characters are pictures:
• 人 means “person” (a figure walking, seen from the side)
• 从 means “to follow” (two people walking together)
• 众 means “crowd” (three people together)

The Chinese language is in many ways easier than English. Its grammar is straightforward, without endings, prefixes, or suffixes. In Chinese, many words are very visual and logical — they are compound words, similar to English examples like blackboard, toothbrush, or snowman.
For instance:
• “to fly + machine” = airplane
• “ice + box” = refrigerator
• “fire + mountain” = volcano
This way of building words makes Chinese vocabulary easier to understand and remember.

Due to a busy teaching schedule, I currently teach exclusively online. I also lead a team of native Chinese teachers who are fluent in English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, and Italian. I personally trained each of them in my teaching method. With this system, students can progress from beginner to HSK 5 in just two years, enabling them to use Chinese for work purposes and to study at universities in China. My students have successfully gone on to work at the European Parliament, large corporations, Chinese companies, and pursue studies in China.

Beyond lessons, I create opportunities for students to immerse themselves in the language. Every summer, I organize a four-week study program at a Chinese university. We also hold regular visits to Chinese restaurants, where students practice their speaking skills in a real cultural environment.

Chinese is an essential tool for expressing oneself and understanding the world. I offer comprehensive instruction, from basic Pinyin, Zhuyin, and Chinese character writing to advanced reading comprehension and essay writing skills, while also strengthening oral expression and listening comprehension. Learning Chinese not only improves academic performance but also cultivates logical thinking and confidence, laying a solid foundation for future learning of other subjects.

I will impart native speaker learning methods through engaging and relatable cultural sharing.
