This class is composed of two parts.
1. Chinese Mandarin. In this class, you will learn Chinese listening and speaking. Do not worry about your current level, because I will give you a tailored plan according to your own situation. A few lessons later, you will be able to use Chinese to learn courses taught in Chinese and communicate with others in life. Or if you are preparing for your Chinese Proficiency Test(HSK), I can help you with some targeted training, such as grammar mistake checking or writing.
2. Chinese traditional culture. In this part, you will have a chance to explore the magical world of Chinese traditional culture.
Do you know the importance of the 24 Solar Terms? Do you want to know the origin of the Spring Festival? After learning this course, your Chinese will become much better especially your understanding of this language and this country.

If you would like to improve your Chinese, I can help you out in an interesting and never boring way. For your tutoring, I would design a detailed plan based on your interest and preference for learning.
You will not only improve your Chinese skills, like speaking, writing, reading, and listening, but also get into a local source for you to know deeper about daily life in China. We would share ideas together and you will be offered great materials to continue your Chinese studies in the future!
P.S.: Onsite classes will only be available in a café.

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!

I tutored students from USA, NZ, KOR, etc. I speak English , Chinese, Korean, and a little bit of Japanese. I like Danmei, Anime and Manga, traditional culture, all kinds of music, books, and drawings. I always consider myself a 'Octopus' who knows a little acknowledge of almost all aspects, lol! And I'm super outgoing, that means we will be always has some thing to talk about.

For my teaching method:
I think advantages of studying Chinese with me are listed as follows. As a tutor, I am good helping students to find their expectations and to draw the blueprint of results they will get, so the target will be more clear, and it also works as a booster to encourage students to achieve their goals. I studied Chinese language as side major when I was in college, and I'm also interested in philosophies, so not only for beginners, but high levelers can benefit from my classes too. For that I am professional. And the most important thing, I'm funny! I know learning a language could be hard, and boring sometimes, but making it interesting is also one of my specialty. We will start this journey together, and see where life will take us!

More info: Currently I'm living in Cully, Switzerland, try to explore the world ,learn the language, and meet with new people. So if you are in this town, I don't mind to give off line classes. Merci!
