Montessori educator gives Chinese lessons with the Montessori method at home

From 125.85 € /h

As I am passionate about early childhood education, I have been dedicated to this field since 2016. I also took my Montessori educator courses for 3-6 year olds in Geneva in 2021-2022. Since then, I have integrated this pedagogy into my teaching because it is a natural method that truly respects the rhythm of each child and responds to the sensitive periods of language. There are many visual and auditory preparations, physical, intellectual and psychological preparations so that the child can read and write fluently and naturally.

I founded an association in Geneva in 2023 to create an immersive, rich and fun environment in Chinese for children, mainly those aged 3 to 6. We currently have 20 children, and each of them takes full advantage of this environment.

I also have quite a bit of experience with adults and teenagers. I was a Chinese teacher at ESIC University, the best business and marketing university in Spain. I also worked in several language academies.

I prepare the lessons according to the student's interests always including the culture, which is inseparable from the Chinese language. Students can use what they learn in the real situation I propose.

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!

Hi! I’m Yimo, a native Mandarin speaker from Xi’an, currently living in Geneva, Switzerland, where I’m studying at the University of Geneva.

I grew up in China and later studied in Korea, so besides Mandarin, I’m also familiar with Korean language and K-pop culture. If you're a fan, we’ll have even more fun conversations!

Studying in an international university introduced me to many people interested in learning Chinese. While teaching them, I realized how fascinating language exchange can be—not only does it help others see a different side of China, but it also allows me to discover cultures from all over the world.

If you're looking to improve your Mandarin—whether for casual conversations, business, or cultural exploration—I'm here to guide you in a fun and engaging way. Let’s embark on this language-learning journey together! 🚀

Our Mandarin Chinese and Japanese courses are designed for beginners who want to discover the language and culture, as well as intermediate students who want to improve their communication skills. At the beginner level, participants learn the essential basics: pronunciation, tones, and pinyin for Chinese; hiragana and katakana for Japanese; and simple vocabulary and grammar for introducing themselves, asking questions, and discussing everyday life. At the intermediate level, the program delves deeper into grammar, vocabulary, and oral expression to enable more natural conversations, reading dialogues or short texts, and writing more complex sentences, while discovering cultural aspects of both countries. Course content remains highly flexible and adapts to the needs, interests, and pace of each student, offering a personalized and motivating learning experience. Courses can be taken in English, allowing for better comprehension for native English learners or those who prefer to progress in a bilingual setting.
