Learn interesting Chinese course(HSK optional) with the best Chinese tutor!Translate this text using Google Translate.

Good day, my name is Mike. I come from Shanghai, China. I'm now studying at Shanghai University. Chinese is the language of the east, connecting people from many nations. Does Chinese scare you? The tones, the characters, such a different grammar... You might not know where to start. Good news: With the right method, it's much less intimidating than it seems! So don't hesitate to contact me! Before you go any further, let me introduce myself. I come from Shanghai, China. I got 138(A+) out of 150 in English GaoKao. I have no problem in English communication at all, and thus I ranked top 0.1% in the English contest for senior high school students in Shanghai, surpassing more than 15 contestants from the Top 4 elite high schools, which includes Shanghai High School. Surprised? That's true. I have been teaching Chinese down-to-earth in offline training institutions for over 3 years as a professional teacher. Besides, the HSK exam might be helpful to you(e.g. for overseas students in China/for foreigners working in China). An organized, systematic course for HSK prep is also free to go! I offer grammar lessons, conversation practice and/or exam preparation through dynamic and practical classes. Moreover, if you wish to have a firm grip on this language, thinking in Chinese rather than just reciting the grammar rules is quite crucial. Anyway, if you're looking for a friendly, patient and dedicated teacher, I'd be delighted to help you achieve your goals! My methodology is as follows(may not all be included, as your needs go first): 1. I can show the examples of certain pronunciations/tones to you and you can read after me if you want. 2. I can provide you with vivid conversations and fulfill your curiosity by Q&A interactions. 3. I can present you the past papers of HSK and analyze them if you wish. 4. Instead of giving you homework, I hope that you can search more interesting videos and passages from the web, based on your own preference. My approach combines teaching and mentoring, and I take a holistic approach to ensure improvements in all aspects of a student's development, so no worries at all! It's okay and normal that my students come from all walks of life. As long as you are willing to learn, there is a way. I believe that interest is the best teacher, so I'll try my best to prepare before classes and make them effective to students. Through my own experiences of overcoming obstacles and achieving success, I’m passionate about helping others do the same. Let’s work together to ensure you reach your full potential, both academically and personally!

Professional Mandarin Chinese Lessons with an Experienced TeacherTranslate this text using Google Translate.

### Learn Chinese with a Qualified Professional Teacher — From Zero to Advanced Learning Chinese is often considered a great challenge — but that doesn’t mean it has to be painful or frustrating. I am a **professional Chinese language teacher with a Master’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, a qualification in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, and more than 10 years of teaching experience**. Unlike a teacher who simply speaks Chinese as a native language, I have professional training and formal qualifications in Chinese language education, as well as extensive experience teaching learners from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. I know not only Chinese itself, but also **how to teach it effectively**. I offer Chinese lessons for **all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners**, including: * Beginner and intermediate Chinese * Advanced Chinese * Conversational Chinese * Business Chinese * Chinese literature and culture * Customized lessons based on your goals and interests My teaching philosophy is simple: **knowing a lot of Chinese does not necessarily mean being able to use it.** I don’t want my students to leave a lesson with a long list of vocabulary and grammar rules but still struggle to say what they actually want to say. Instead, I focus on helping you **use Chinese actively** — speaking, expressing your ideas, asking questions, responding naturally, and gradually turning what you learn into real communication skills. At the same time, I believe that difficult things can be made simple. Chinese grammar can seem complicated at first, but with the right explanation and meaningful practice, it becomes much more manageable. I enjoy breaking down difficult grammar and language points into **clear, simple, and easy-to-understand explanations**. My classes are relaxed, interactive, and adapted to each student's needs. Whether you are starting Chinese from scratch, preparing for work in a Chinese-speaking environment, studying for a specific goal, or simply want to become more confident speaking Chinese, I will help you build practical skills step by step. **Let’s make Chinese a language you can actually use — not just a language you study.**

★Chinese courses for everyone; Mandarin Chinese training eligible for CPF funding, in-person or online; translation/interpretation servicesTranslate this text using Google Translate.

🟣 Chinese lessons: Language, Literature, Civilization, Art, Thought 🟣 🟡 My classes cover language, oral communication and writing, but also daily life, culture, customs, Chinese thought, etc. So you can prepare to travel, study, work, live in China, or collaborate with Chinese people. 🟡 I also interest my students in the evolution of writing, vocabulary building, Chinese art (painting and calligraphy), literature, Feng Shui, traditional medicine, etc. 🟡 I offer playful, gestural or illustrated learning, promoting exchanges in Chinese as much as possible, so as to provoke the linguistic immersion of my students. 🟡 I teach simplified Chinese (simplified characters and Pīnyīn) and traditional Chinese (traditional characters and Zhùyīnfúhào). 🟢 Classes for all levels and all ages (I have already had students from 2 to 80 years old). 🟠 GOOD ADVICE...️ Speaking a language and teaching it are two very different things, and this applies to both Chinese and French! It is not enough for your teacher to be a native Chinese speaker! Trust teachers with professional experience, especially for your first steps in learning or to correct your bad habits!

I hope to help you improve your Chinese through Apprentus platform and better understand Chinese culture.:) 💯My lessons & teaching style 🏅(1)Learn Mandarin Systematically(Use textbook) This course is for students who want to learn Mandarin systematically. In view of the basic and important role of Pinyin in Mandarin, the general knowledge of Pinyin will be taught in the first period, including the pronunciation of initials, finals, different tones, and the most common rules(If you have already know Pinyin, we could jump to the next step). Then you move to the next period, and the HSK textbooks 1 to 3 are recommended as the learning material. You will learn the most common-used words, phrases, sentence patterns, characters, and some interesting knowledge of Chinese culture. Besides, considering Chinese is a tone language, the pronunciation practice is provided throughout the whole learning process. After this period's learning, you will master about 900 characters and over 1500 words, and your Chinese level will reach to B1, which means that you possess the basic communicative skills to live and travel in China. 🏅(2)Spoken Chinese Course(Use textbook) This course is for the people who could speak some Chinese and hope to enlarge their Chinese vocabulary or improve their speaking. It is designed to meet the requirements for daily social communication, and focuses on the training of listening and speaking skills. Let's talk about your goals and ambitions.

Chinese, French & Italian Lessons with a PhD LinguistTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Chinese, French & Italian Lessons with a PhD LinguistTranslate this text using Google Translate.

I am a multilingual linguist specializing in comparative linguistics, second language acquisition, and language teaching. For more than 15 years, I have taught Chinese, French and Italian to students of different ages, proficiency levels, and linguistic/cultural backgrounds through both private lessons and university courses. I hold a binational PhD in Linguistics and Language Teaching from Sapienza University of Rome and INALCO (Paris). Throughout my career, I have taught and conducted research in Italy, France, and China. I have published extensively on linguistics and language acquisition, serve as Managing Editor of an international academic journal, and regularly collaborate with universities and research institutions in Europe and China. Whether your goal is to prepare for an exam, improve your speaking skills, learn a language for work, or simply discover a new culture, I will tailor each course to your needs and objectives. Lessons may include conversation, grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, and listening comprehension, depending on your goals. I use a wide range of materials and place particular emphasis on developing practical communication skills while helping students understand the underlying structure of the language. My research focuses on how languages are learned and acquired. This enables me to identify the specific challenges faced by each learner and to adapt my teaching methods accordingly, making the learning process more effective and engaging. As language and culture are inseparable, learning a language means not only acquiring new linguistic skills, but also gaining insight into the cultural and social contexts in which it is spoken. I aim to help students build both linguistic confidence and a deeper understanding of the language they are learning.

I have been taken Chinese classes from Helen since June 2021. From my first contact with Helen I felt very at ease which also contributes to my lessons with her. I find it important that my courses (which I do besides my full time job) fit in my work/private schedule, and Helen has shown immense flexibility on her side, which helped me a lot. After 3 months, we have gone through almost the entire first part of the Course. Helen has adjusted her lessons to my personal needs after the first couple lessons which helps me to stay focussed every single lesson. What I also find very important personally, is that I also have fun during my lectures. I can say with much excitement that not one of my classes has been boring, repetitive or predictable. This keeps me as the student motivated to log on every week and do my homework. After 1.5 month taking Chinese courses from Helen, I travelled to China and it proved her lessons were very effective. I was able to communicate on a general level and have basic understanding from others to get myself travelling through the Xiamen, China. Overall 5-star rate for Helen, based on my fun experience during the online courses, her flexibility and the amazing results after 3 months already.

The current ratings and reviews speak for themselves. Most are 5-star reviews, with a few 4-star reviews and none at a lower rating. She is an amazing teacher with more than a decade of experience. Who truly knows how to tailor a programme to each individual student. In 3 weeks, I've grown from knowing close to no grammar to being able to form proper sentences for everyday use. One aspect I value a lot about her way of teaching is that we apply the grammar not only to every-day situations but also to topics that tailor to my personal life circumstances. I have been convinced that, with the help of Marina, I will be able to grow my Mandarin skills exponentially over the next few months.

Zhou Fang is a great Chinese teachter. I asked her for online Mandarin Chinese lessons for my upcoming trip to Taiwan. I feel she really understood the request, and after 2 lessons I already notice improvement of my vocabulary and confidence to speak chinese. I can highly recommend Zou Fang.
