I am a Chinese woman with college degree , I have worked in international company as senior manager for 15 years , and then I moved to Belgium for 2 years .
In the last 2 years , I teach my own kids chinese lessen 4 hours per week with the chinese national school textbook , now my first kid knows round 2000 chinese charactors , she can read and write , talking is certainly as a native speaker . My second kid was 5 years old when we moved to Belgium , so she didn't learn any chinese lesson in China , so I began with her from pinyin , now she can read story books with pinyin and she learns more than 500 charactors .
From teaching my own kids chinese lessens , I collected lots of experience and I trained my patience . I have to say , if the teacher can make the lessons interesting , then with love , passion and patience , she or he can teach . Otherwise , the lesson can not help the learner but only kill the motivations .

Heeft uw kind het moeilijk om te volgen met Wiskunde, dan kan ik hierbij helpen. Het doel van deze bijles is voornamelijk uw kind leren zelfstandig wiskunde begrijpen en oefeningen oplossen. We kunnen eerst bekijken waar de knelpunten bevinden, extra aandacht aan bieden en zo een oplossing vinden op het knelpunt. Ik kan begeleiding bieden bij huiswerk, toetsen en examens.

Ik ben Nederlandse en ik spreek ook vloeiend Frans, aangezien ik in Nederland een Master doe om Docent Frans te worden. Momenteel studeer ik een halfjaar in Brussel in het kader van mijn studie. Naast mijn studie zou ik graag mijn kennis van de Nederlandse taal inzetten door bijlessen te geven.

Ik heb veel ervaring als docent: ik ben inmiddels al 7 jaar actief binnen het onderwijs en heb lesgegeven aan leerlingen tussen de 12 en 20 jaar. Ook ben ik een enthousiaste docent, die veel voorbeelden gebruikt in haar uitleg en ook veel oefeningen bedenkt om actief met de lesstof bezig te zijn.

With a master's degree in Sinology (KULeuven, 2015), years of professional experience in the field and 6 years of experience in the Chinese Minor bachelor programme and evening courses at VUB, I'm confident that my courses offer an efficient and comprehensive path to Chinese language proficiency.

This class provides tailor-made Chinese language courses for any age. By default, the course focusses on oral communication (listening and speaking skills) with a large amount of interaction. Reading and writing is available (and recommended), but optional. As a non-native speaker, I know what it is to learn Chinese at a later age.

Textbooks, workbook exercises and additional character writing exercises are included in the price.

My name is Dinara, and I have been teaching Chinese for over 15 years. I hold a degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. Languages are my true passion — I speak several of them, and this experience helps me better understand the challenges my students face when learning Chinese.

When teaching, I focus on what matters most: communication. My students don’t just memorize characters and grammar rules — they learn how to speak Chinese confidently. Many beginners are intimidated by Chinese writing, but I make it simple and engaging by introducing characters through associations and stories. After all, Chinese characters are pictures:
• 人 means “person” (a figure walking, seen from the side)
• 从 means “to follow” (two people walking together)
• 众 means “crowd” (three people together)

The Chinese language is in many ways easier than English. Its grammar is straightforward, without endings, prefixes, or suffixes. In Chinese, many words are very visual and logical — they are compound words, similar to English examples like blackboard, toothbrush, or snowman.
For instance:
• “to fly + machine” = airplane
• “ice + box” = refrigerator
• “fire + mountain” = volcano
This way of building words makes Chinese vocabulary easier to understand and remember.

Due to a busy teaching schedule, I currently teach exclusively online. I also lead a team of native Chinese teachers who are fluent in English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, and Italian. I personally trained each of them in my teaching method. With this system, students can progress from beginner to HSK 5 in just two years, enabling them to use Chinese for work purposes and to study at universities in China. My students have successfully gone on to work at the European Parliament, large corporations, Chinese companies, and pursue studies in China.

Beyond lessons, I create opportunities for students to immerse themselves in the language. Every summer, I organize a four-week study program at a Chinese university. We also hold regular visits to Chinese restaurants, where students practice their speaking skills in a real cultural environment.
