Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levels
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!

Neva
Study Chinese Language and Culture through funny and individual teaching method
I was born in China with love and encouragement from my family and teachers. From an early age, my mom, dad, and brother told me many funny and famous stories and fairy tales about Chinese Culture. All of these beautiful and traditional histories teach me how to love&respect others, how to be brave, and how to persist in my passion. I love my country and its charming, traditional culture. I hope I can convey what I have learned to others someday. And then my dream comes true.
Now, I am studying at the Geneva Graduate Institute which is a famous university focusing on political research and analysis. It is my first time to study and live abroad. I hope I can balance the high living expenses through teaching, and I believe this is a good way for me to learn and communicate with local people(you or your children).
What you can learn through my courses:
- Learning with fun. I know it is not easy to study another language. But there are several ways to help you(your children) love to study Chinese, such as Picture Book Teaching, Chinese songs, or intriguing multimedia tools(movies and videos).
-Specific teaching method for yourself. My past five-year working experience is to teach teachers how to improve their learning skills. One of the most important methods is to adjust and design the teaching method according to the ability and interest of each student. I will teach you(or your children) to study in an appropriate way through the pre-course testing, assignments, and interaction.
-Chinese language and culture. China has a long history of 5,000 years, and there are so many histories, poems, and stories during the long period of time. You( or your children)can learn a lot about Chinese culture and local customs while studying Chinese.
