Hi! I just moved back to Toulouse and I will be doing a Masters in ESPE to become an English teacher. I would love to help anyone who would like to work on improving their language skills or even just start to learn a new foreign language. We can just practice speaking the language or work on the grammar. I know how daunting it is to speak another language other than your mother tongue but I want to show you that it is actually fun and can be very helpful for when you go traveling or at your workplace. I have travelled around the world since a very young age and would love to share my passion for languages with you. I was born in Paris but I grew up in Asia (Taiwan, India, and Malaysia). I have a Bachelor degree with honors in French and Spanish.

Hello, my name is Jingwen and I come from Shanghai, China. For almost 5 years, I teach Chinese Mandarin for young and old. I had the pleasure of teaching my language to young children (from 2 years old, foreign language immersion or from 6 years old, traditional language lessons alone or in groups) as adults (complete remedies or beginners). I only recently arrived in Belgium, so my French is still approximate. My classes are taught in Chinese (immersion), English and Spanish (level C2) at the rates shown here. If you want to set up a French-Chinese exchange, free of course, I am also interested.
I hope that my offer will satisfy your request and wish you a good day.

你好!Grüezi!Hola!Hello!

I'm a Confucius Institute (the ONLY globally recognized official institution for teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages) certified Mandarin teacher.

I'm also an official YCT (Youth Chinese Test)/ HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test)/ HSKK (Chinese Proficiency Spoken Test) test examiner.

In addition to giving private lessons, I also teach Chinese at international schools and lead Mandarin immersion Spielgruppe (playgroup) in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. My speciality is teaching children between the age of 2.5 and 12 in an immersive and interactive learning environment. By means of guided game-playing, painting, story-reading, drama activities, song-singing, dancing, and handcraft-making, kids achieve organic language acquisition while having a lot of fun.

The predominant features you will find in my class are tailor-made teaching materials and methods that are customized to best suit your specific study objectives (Preschooler Chinese, K-12 Chinese, YCT, HSK, Beginner Chinese, Conversational Chinese, Business Chinese...etc.).

As a language learner myself (B.A. major in Spanish and currently studying German), I have great patience and willingness to help you on your journey towards Chinese proficiency, because I know how frustrating it could get at times. Being in the shoes of a linguistics student for years also enables me to better instruct you, as I understand very well what are the things a learner would find helpful.

I welcome students of all age groups and prior proficiency levels. Looking forward to sharing my knowledge of Chinese language and culture with you:)

Hi, I’m Brady! 👋🏼

I’ve been teaching languages for over 6 years, with more than 3,000 lessons and 400 students worldwide. I specialize in Spanish, English, and Mandarin Chinese, and I adapt every class to your goals, level, and learning style. Whether you’re preparing for exams, improving conversation, or starting from scratch, I’ll make sure our lessons are effective and enjoyable.

With kids (ages 5–15), I prepare extra interactive materials and recommend parents join the first lesson. With adults, I focus on building confidence, fluency, and clear communication.

I was born in the Netherlands and grew up in Spain, the Dominican Republic, and China. I’m a native speaker of Spanish and English, and I’m also proficient in Mandarin Chinese (HSK 6). In 2019, I completed my Chinese studies in Harbin, China.

My main goal is to create a supportive, engaging learning environment where you feel comfortable, motivated, and confident to use the language.

Hellooooo! When I was in China, I was a Spanish teacher for teenagers, and now, I'm a university student, so I prefer to teach everyone this fantastic language - Chinese!
The classes are private depending on who attends class. For children, I prefer a fun way like with songs, teaching with practices; For adolescents, especially, they prepare for the exams, plus written and oral exercises, because these two parts are more difficult; For people who just want to learn this language, I talk to them more about the culture, the tradition, the interesting things.

I use a comparative method (Chinese-Spanish) so that you can quickly understand the logic of the language, without boring memorization.
Fundamental principle: Don't focus on rigid grammar rules, but on how to communicate and teach.

Method: In the first class, teach students to say "hello" and "I want a coffee," instead of memorizing a table of beginnings and endings.

Aimed at: All adult students with no prior knowledge of grammar.
