Chinese language/ culture/ literature: do educated conversation in life

Please Note: currently, I am studying at Oxford University. I prefer to teach via video call, and to teach in Oxford/ London.

I am native Chinese and have lived in different European countries for many years, working for international organizations. I am naive in Chinese, fluent in English/ Spanish and have intermediate level of French. I can teach you Chinese in English or Spanish. I taught adults/ students Chinese when I was in Europe. I am very interested in languages, cultures, and arts. I play Chinese traditional music (Guzheng). So, if you are interested, I can teach you Guzheng.

Why I am offering Chinese course here?
I enjoy talking with people from different cultural background, and learning from them.

Please contact me if you want to learn Chinese/ Chinese music with me.

Extra information

We can communicate in Spanish/ English for Chinese lessons.

Yan was very patient with my boisterous boys and did a good job of keeping them on task. She instinctively recognised that they had different learning styles and offered valuable feedback on how best to teach them.

Mandarin Chinese courses: Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced
With a master's degree in Sinology (KULeuven, 2015), years of professional experience in the field and 6 years of experience in the Chinese Minor bachelor programme and evening courses at VUB, I'm confident that my courses offer an efficient and comprehensive path to Chinese language proficiency. This class provides tailor-made Chinese language courses for any age. By default, the course focusses on oral communication (listening and speaking skills) with a large amount of interaction. Reading and writing is available (and recommended), but optional. As a non-native speaker, I know what it is to learn Chinese at a later age. Textbooks, workbook exercises and additional character writing exercises are included in the price.

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.

Hana
Chinese Lessons Tailored for Everyone, Including Beginners!
My lessons cover a wide range from basic but systematic pronunciation to business applications. I can tailor your specific lessons to meet your need. I’ve offered lessons to students from different backgrounds, including fresh learners, Chinese majors, business people, and persons interested in Chinese culture. Due to location, I only offer lessons online, but if your current base is in Beijing, we could have in person lessons. My online teaching experience is rich enough to guarantee a good teaching effect, with no worries about efficiency. I’ll engage you through funny events and eye catching presentations, to make you impressed, thus enhancing the teaching outcome. My lessons are usually 16 times, 1-2 hours for each time, with variations according to your learning goals. The specific lesson time is decided by both of us before each lesson starts. Before teaching, we need to work out a tailored schedule for your study. So tell me what your goal is and I’ll make a plan for you. The teaching plan will come into effect only with your consent. Note that after each lesson you may be required to finish some homework to test where you are, and you should send it to my email before next lesson. This may sound like strict but you don’t need to worry, because I’ll make it easy to handle and you’ll also feel a sense of achievement. This is a bilateral project so we need to make sure our communication before, during and after each lesson to be smoothly.
