Chinese Mandarin for English or French speakers (Mandarin phonetics, daily expressions, speaking skills ...)

From 23.12 $ /h

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

About Me

Hi! I’m Yanzhu 彦竹 👋

Born in Chengdu — hometown of the giant panda 🐼 — I’m a Southern Chinese Gen Z who has spent the last 8 years living, studying, and working in France, Spain, and Ireland. My daily life is a mix of Mandarin, English, and French, so I understand exactly where learners struggle and how to explain things in a way that feels simple and logical (not scary).

My style is warm, patient, and very practical. I don’t just “teach vocabulary,” I teach you how to survive real situations: how to introduce yourself without panicking, how to order the food you actually want, how to sound polite in Chinese culture, and how to not sound like Google Translate 😄

What students usually like about my classes:
• I correct pronunciation in a nice way, not in a stressful way
• I explain tones with little tricks that are easy to remember
• I teach real phrases that native speakers actually use, not textbook robot sentences
• I adapt everything to your goal (travel / work / dating / making Chinese friends / just for fun)

My favorite moment is when a beginner says their first full sentence in Mandarin and realizes: “Wait... I can actually do this.”

If you’re looking for a teacher who is supportive, patient, culturally aware, and a little bit fun — I’d love to learn with you 🫶🥟✨

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Learning Arabic is more than picking up a new language—it’s opening a door to culture, identity, and deeper connection. Arabic classes help you communicate with confidence, understand rich traditions, and access a world of literature, history, and meaning that can’t be fully translated. Whether for personal growth, faith, travel, or career opportunities, taking Arabic classes strengthens your voice and broadens your perspective. Step by step, you’ll discover that Arabic isn’t just learned—it’s lived.
Our classes will be interactive, fun, and enjoyable which will help you navigate your learning journey easily and achiever your goal in shorter time than you thought!

I help adult learners speak English more fluently, naturally and with confidence.

This course is focused on real communication, not memorisation or complicated grammar rules.
You will practise speaking from the very first lesson and learn how to express your ideas clearly in real-life and professional situations.

This class is ideal if you:

understand English but feel blocked when speaking

translate in your head and lose fluency

need English for work, travel or international communication

My teaching approach is practical and communication-based.
We use real-life situations, guided conversation, simple explanations and active vocabulary practice.

My goal is to help you speak English clearly, naturally and with confidence - not to make you perfect, but effective in real communication.
