🇨🇳Professional Chinese course for students of all levels and ages- 🔑open the door to the Chinese world for you!

1. Who am I?
My name is Xiaolin(小林) which means little forest. I'm not only a native Chinese speaker but also my major is Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. I worked as a university lecturer in China and was depatured by the Ministry of Education of China to Europe to teach Chinese in the university. So far, I've been teaching Chinese to foreigners of all ages for around 12 years both at the school or as a tutor.

2. What kind of course do I offer?
As Confucius said "因材施教” which means " teaching students in accordance of their aptitude". I'll customize the courses and according to your learning target and your nature. Besides the time spent on the course, I could also answer your questions about Chinese learning or give you some inspiring tips to help you get to know the authentic China. I'm also good at cooking Chinese cuisine. If you're interested in that, I could cook you some real Chinese food or teach you how to cook your favourite Chinese dish:)

3. What about my former students?
I still keep in touch with most of my former students. Some work for Chinese companies or Chinese related organizations, some work as interpreters and a student openned an English school in China to teach Chinese kids English.
A young boy I started to tutor him when he was 2, now can comunicate with Chinese people spontaneously after 2 years learning. An adult student moved to Shanghai to live with his Chinese girlfriend( they got married last year in Otc.) and another 22 years old boy got to Chengdu to study in Sichuan university majoring in international trade. Too many stories to tell...

About Me

I'm a positive and interesting soul with lots of hobbies. I like doing sports(pingpong, badminton, volleyball, hiking, cycling, yoga...), reading books( literature, biography, philosophy, psychology,,.), travelling, photographing, cooking, making friends from different cultural background.

I'd like to teach students in the way that could stimulate their enthusiasm for learning to the greatest extent and guide them to study effectively and joyfully. Language learning shouldn't be isolated from daily life, my students would be suggested to use the expressions learnt as often as possible in various ways. Along with the Chinese language teaching, I'll also combine with some Chinese culture, Chinese people's mindset and popular topics about China.

Teaching for me is an interactive journey, I'll always be the reliable guide for you to explore in the Chinese world.

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.
