As you studied your mother tone, learning Chinese also start from listening, copy, speak, read and write. Pronunciation is the very first step to start to speak a language, and it's inseparable from listening. Then from word, we build phrases, then conversations by differents topics that are useful in daily life.
Through the personal tips/videos/songs/ interactive game or language missions, I'll guide you how to practice effectively and gains.

🟣 Chinese lessons: Language, Literature, Civilization, Art, Thought 🟣

🟡 My classes cover language, oral communication and writing, but also daily life, culture, customs, Chinese thought, etc.

So you can prepare to travel, study, work, live in China, or collaborate with Chinese people.

🟡 I also interest my students in
the evolution of writing, vocabulary building, Chinese art (painting and calligraphy), literature, Feng Shui, traditional medicine, etc.

🟡 I offer playful, gestural or illustrated learning, promoting exchanges in Chinese as much as possible, so as to provoke the linguistic immersion of my students.

🟡 I teach simplified Chinese (simplified characters and Pīnyīn) and traditional Chinese (traditional characters and Zhùyīnfúhào).

🟢 Classes for all levels and all ages (I have already had students from 2 to 80 years old).

🟠 GOOD ADVICE...️
Speaking a language and teaching it are two very different things, and this applies to both Chinese and French! It is not enough for your teacher to be a native Chinese speaker! Trust teachers with professional experience, especially for your first steps in learning or to correct your bad habits!

Ready to speak Mandarin with confidence — without feeling lost or stressed?

This class is designed for English or French speakers who want practical, real-world Chinese. No boring theory. No impossible grammar. We focus on exactly what you need to start talking.

What you’ll get:
• Useful vocabulary for real situations: introducing yourself, ordering food, traveling, meeting new people, even small talk
• Clear pronunciation and tones, explained in a way that actually makes sense
• Simple sentence patterns you can reuse again and again
• Speaking practice in every class (not just listening)

How we work:
• I explain everything in English or French, so you always understand
• The pace is adapted to you — absolute beginners are 100% welcome
• You can tell me your goal (travel, work, everyday conversation, Chinese culture...) and I’ll personalize the lesson

By the end, you won’t just “study Chinese.” You’ll be able to introduce yourself, ask questions, and hold a basic conversation politely and naturally — and enjoy it.

Come learn Mandarin in a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere

Learn Chinese Mandarin with a highly experienced university lecturer from Beijing. I have just moved to the south of France from London, where I had been teaching for many years International Business and Chinese as part of a degree course at a university in London. I also give private tutorial to professional learners as well as students from SOAS, UCL and Cambridge, helping them achieve excellent results in their HSK exams and their academic exams.
I can also tailor the course according to your professional interests.

Having studied Turkish at SOAS and International Business in China, I am cultural conscious and open minded. I can provide you good insight into the Chinese culture, economics as well as the historical backgrounds to certain events.

My teaching approach is communicative and student centred, constantly adjusting teaching strategies to meet your specific learning goals, whether it is conversation, grammar or Chinese characters. Many of my students who were stuck on intermediate level were able to move up to the advanced level with my tutoring.

I am also particularly good at explaining complicated grammar points which can be frustrating if one wants to progress beyond the just survival level.

It is my strong belief that building a solid foundation in the pronunciations and tones helps boost students' confidence. With my practical approach, many students find they can start communicating and making logical sentences within one or two lessons.

Help with the Classical Chinese studies can also be provided, the Classical Chinese has different grammar to modern Chinese, I can also proofread your dissertation and coursework.

Translation and interpretation services are also offered.

Individual and group inquiries are both welcome. References from the current and previous clients can be provided on requests.

Intelligent, dynamic tuition with flexible timetable and reasonable rate.
