About Me

I am a certified Mandarin Chinese teacher and have lived in the Netherlands for ten years.

My drive to teach Chinese comes from the desire to help people communicate with local Chinese and understand the culture & society. I hope people can understand China firsthand, beyond what the media portrays. That is also why my class is communication-oriented and culture-involved.

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.

Finally, fun! Learning Chinese doesn't have to be boring or monotonous. With me, each class is an adventure full of surprises and discoveries. Games, fun activities, songs and even humorous anecdotes are there to make your learning as fun as it is productive.

If you need help to improve your math, physics or Chinese, no matter for daily life or for your academic study from primary school to bachelor, I would be more than happy to help. After years of private teaching during my two master's studies, I learnt how to deliver the information in a light and memorable way. In my class, of course we will go through the theories and practices together, but more importantly, you will exercise on the way of thinking and have a newer view on the subjects, which is even more important than the knowledge in a long way. The class won't be exhausting as your extra chance of learning, but will make you naturally try to understand and remember.

I offer middle school and high school tutoring in Mathematics and Chinese, designed to support students at different academic levels and learning paces. My teaching approach emphasizes building strong foundations, developing logical thinking, and improving language comprehension, rather than short-term memorization.

From a parent’s perspective, I understand the importance of both academic progress and long-term learning habits. Each student receives personalized instruction based on their strengths, challenges, and school curriculum. Lessons focus on clarifying difficult concepts, strengthening problem-solving skills, and improving confidence in both subjects.

For Mathematics, I help students develop structured thinking, accuracy, and exam readiness. For Chinese, instruction includes reading comprehension, writing skills, vocabulary development, and cultural understanding, supporting both native and heritage learners.

Whether the goal is to keep up with school coursework, prepare for exams, or achieve long-term academic growth, I provide patient, consistent, and results-oriented guidance. I maintain clear communication with parents and adjust teaching strategies as students progress, ensuring that learning outcomes are measurable and meaningful.
