    LISTEN - SPEAK - WRITE/TYPE in MANDARIN (native speaker with tutoring experience, also native in German and fluent in English)

    Let me help you learn Mandarin as your 2nd, 3rd or 4th language.
    Depending on your level and your desired focus, I can teach you how to:

    - Master the 4 different DENOTING TONES
    - Read and pronounce PIN YIN (Romanized Spelling System)
    - Read and pronounce Mandarin Characters (simplified and traditional)
    - Enrich your VOCABULARY
    - Structure sentences, tenses, grammar

    - Learn and understand OLD SAWS/SPRICHWÖRTER
    - Practice talking and CONVERSATIONS
    - Understand CULTURAL sensitivities and POLITENESS during encounters with native speakers

    I myself am a native speaker. However, my Dad is German and has acquired Mandarin as his 3rd language. Moreover, I grew up in Germany, so my mom had to teach me how to especially read and write.
    Therefore, I know how non-natives should approach the study of this language - listening, reading, writing and speaking!

    About Me

    I genuinely enjoy Writing - in both academic and creative contexts. For this reason, I believe to have become a good and passionte essay writer.
    I have had tutoring positions 1 on 1 and in larger groups since I attended high school, in English (grammar and essay writing), Mathematics, German (essay writing) and Latin (grammar and translation).

    Currently, I have a university staff position as a writing tutor and I love this job. The main reason why I am here!

    Something more personal about me:
    - I grew up in Hamburg
    - 21 years old
    - I am half Chinese/German
    - Apart from Writing, I enjoy drawing, playing the piano and good music in general.

    Education

    Bachelor's Graduate of Leiden University College's Liberal Arts and Sciences Programme, where I specialized in Culture, History, Society.

    Currently a first-year Dual Master's candidate of Sciences Po Paris and FU Berlin. At Sciences Po, I am studying Human Rights and Humanitarian Action, while I will study Political Science at FU Berlin.

    Experience / Qualifications

    - Tutor position at "Schüler helfen Schüler" during high school (English, Mathematics, German, Latin)
    - Leiden University staff position as an academic writing tutor
    As an academic writing tutor at my university, I hear a lot of "Writing Essays is frustrating and time-consuming" - But it is really about the right methods. Once you know how to approach an academic essay or research project and identify the next steps, it can even become an enjoyable task that demands and stimulates your creativity. Let me help you to be this efficient! Let's make sure sure you avoid plagiarism, cherry-picking and other academic no-gos, while writing concise, sophisticated and informative at the same time. Contact me for social yet productive way to get your work done and get the most out of your essay.
    Let me proofread, correct your essay/draft or even transform your mere thoughts/bulletpoints into an elaborate text. I was hired by Leiden University College's Writing Studio to help undergrade students in any form of academic writing. Usually I helped Bachelor students with starting and finishing their research papers, but also proofread other forms of essays, motivation letters and CVs. I helped at any stage - with brainstorming, formulating the research question, structuring the argumentation, the conclusion, correcting grammar/formatting mistakes, or I improved essays in their stylistic/rhetoric quality. So let me know what type of improvement your work needs and I will have a look.

    Marina
    Chinese Mandarin 10 yrs experience 25 repeat students
    I am a professional full-time Chinese Mandarin teacher from the North of China where Mandarin comes from. I have been teaching for about 10 years as a teacher. I have my own school and website for studying Chinese. Students' ages are from 3 to adults. They are from all over the world. You can study with me online / come to my office /Go-home lessons. Classes can be one-to-one or group classes. I have been helping numerous people learn to speak Chinese and do exam HSK. Children always have fun learning Mandarin with me. I teach Mandarin for business purposes, traveling, YCT (for Children and teenagers), BCT (business Chinese), Conversational practice, Advanced level Chinese classes, etc. Any levels are all welcome. Classes type: Daily Chinese HSK class: Level 1--Level 6 HSKK class: HSK speaking test (Beginner to advanced) Chinese grammar class BCT / Startup Business in China: Business Chinese (Beginner to Advanced) YCT class: Level 1--Level 6 for children to teenagers Easy steps to Chinese: 3-12 years old children There are some other classes that welcome you to message me. I grew up and had educations in China. I moved to Europe for teaching Chinese in 2019 Nov. I am fun, active, very patient, and responsible. I have never come late to all of my classes for more than 10 years. For children's classes, I prepare songs, videos, cartoons, teaching, and explaining at the same time, They learn really fast and never feel bored when they are excited with a fun teacher and materials. I believe that interest is the best teacher. So I try my best to prepare before classes and send materials after classes to students. The classes can be taught in Chinese, English.

    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.

    Yu
    Mandarin Chinese, Chinese Culture and Chinese Calligraphy
    I am a current master student studying in Geneva. Graduated from Peking University, one of the first-rate universities in China, with degrees in law and sociology, I am professional in mandarin Chinese (standard pronunciation, grammar and advanced expressions) as well as Chinese culture and social issues. In the courses, we can learn the language in specialized themes if you want. I will refer to the text book and cater to your preferences. Also, I have learned more than three years of Chinese calligraphy. We can decide it as a part of our course. I have teaching experience with high school students and adults. I am highly responsible, communicative, creative and easy-going. I believe this would be a wonderful journey for both of us. The course is delivered by English and Chinese. I can speak fluent English (IELTS 8) but we can also create a complete Mandarin environment. I am also in the process of studying French. Mais le français, c'est trop difficile! Anyway, the language will not be our obstacle of communication in any sense. Looking forward to seeing you in the class!
