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.

Speaking Mandarin, for most students in the western world, seems both intriguing and difficult, but with the help from a dynamic and experienced Mandarin tutor, you can do it much better.

This is short-term, intense Mandarin conversational course which is designed to give you a basic, solid foundation for Chinese sounds, pinyin system, characters, meanings and much more.

Instead of giving you a long list of Chinese vocabulary words and phrases to muster, I will put a variety of brain-storm games, flash cards, pictures, stories, even Chinese songs, etc. into my class, making sure all my students not only learn and practice Mandarin a lot, but also enjoy the process of delving into the whole new language.

The course is totally tailor-made for each student according to their own needs for the learning, but one thing is guarantee: you will be empowered to grow your communicative skill with Mandarin.

I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.

I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.

I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!
