Chinese Mandarin for all level (by a designer based in Europe)

Von 52.2 Fr /Std

Learning Chinese in a smart, fun, creative way? I'm the person you want.

I am (more than) a Chinese native. The Chinese language is my passion and my strength.
I use fluent, precise, literary Chinese language. I speak both Mandarin and Cantonese. I've been doing many things related to the language: writing, teaching, debate, event host, etc.
I can help you with the daily/business needs of the language, your study, or your interest in the language itself.
I have good knowledge of Chinese calligraphy, literature, and traditional opera. I can show you the culture behind the language if you like.
I am an urban designer. I live and work in Europe for 7 years now. I graduated master of architecture from The Royal Academy in Denmark.

If you are interested in taking lessons from me, please send me a message. I would like to know:
- What is your level of Chinese?
- What would you like to learn? (school study, business, travel, etc.)
- When would you like to start?

Any questions? don't hesitate to ask.

I'm a native Chinese who has a profound understanding of English. I'm very sociable and I like to help people practice their Chinese. We can talk about music, videos, history, ... anything! Personally, I've been working the past 5 years as a nurse in a international hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. I've been talking with Chinese-learners a lot within these past few years. We practice all kinds of Chinese vocabulary such as daily routine talk, all kinds of subjects, business vocabulary, ...
认识你很高兴!
Kind regards,
Emily

I specialise in tutoring Mandarin Chinese for people who either want to improve the language skills or are new beginners who has the interest in learning the language.
I've developed a learning method which helps the students build up the language structures in an effective way, be able to speak the language independently in a relatively short amount of time by mastering the normally boring grammar rules in a fun way.
The benefits of my course is that the students are learning the language in a relaxing learning environment in a natural way without straining.

你好!Grüezi!Hola!Hello!

I'm a Confucius Institute (the ONLY globally recognized official institution for teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages) certified Mandarin teacher.

I'm also an official YCT (Youth Chinese Test)/ HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test)/ HSKK (Chinese Proficiency Spoken Test) test examiner.

In addition to giving private lessons, I also teach Chinese at international schools and lead Mandarin immersion Spielgruppe (playgroup) in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. My speciality is teaching children between the age of 2.5 and 12 in an immersive and interactive learning environment. By means of guided game-playing, painting, story-reading, drama activities, song-singing, dancing, and handcraft-making, kids achieve organic language acquisition while having a lot of fun.

The predominant features you will find in my class are tailor-made teaching materials and methods that are customized to best suit your specific study objectives (Preschooler Chinese, K-12 Chinese, YCT, HSK, Beginner Chinese, Conversational Chinese, Business Chinese...etc.).

As a language learner myself (B.A. major in Spanish and currently studying German), I have great patience and willingness to help you on your journey towards Chinese proficiency, because I know how frustrating it could get at times. Being in the shoes of a linguistics student for years also enables me to better instruct you, as I understand very well what are the things a learner would find helpful.

I welcome students of all age groups and prior proficiency levels. Looking forward to sharing my knowledge of Chinese language and culture with you:)

I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it.

I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature.

Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.

I can customize the online course for you to learn Mandarin the way you want, e.g., speaking only focus or reading plus speaking, etc.

Each course lasts a maximum of 60-90 minutes and I can communicate with you either in English or a little in German; However, for your own comfort, we will need to speak in Mandarin during the course.

I can accept students between the ages of 12 and 25 and accept payments via an Austrian bank account.

Feel free to contact me and discuss how you would like to start your Mandarin adventure.

I teach Cantonese online and I take great pleasure in teaching the language in a lively, understandable and practical way.

In China, I worked for three years as a teacher in an arts and education institution, where I regularly gave lessons.
I now incorporate this pedagogical experience into my language teaching.

I have a bachelor's degree in sculpture and am currently studying in the performance class at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich.
My artistic background helps me to make lessons creative, interactive and varied – learning should be fun!

In class, we work a lot with speaking and listening. You will learn, for example:
• the correct pronunciation and tones in Cantonese
• everyday dialogues and useful phrases
• Free speaking step by step
• Insights into Cantonese culture and actual language use

The lessons are individually tailored to your level and your goals – whether you are a beginner or advanced student.
Explanations are available in German, English, Mandarin or Cantonese.

I look forward to helping you learn Cantonese!

Dive into the soul of Chinese culture through its most beautiful verses. In this course, we will explore the rhythmic beauty and profound imagery of classical and modern Chinese poetry. Designed specifically for adult learners, this class bridges the gap between language learning and cultural appreciation.
You will learn to:
• Recite famous poems with correct tones and emotional expression.
• Understand the historical context and the "hidden meanings" behind the characters.
• Expand your vocabulary through elegant, literary Chinese.
• Master basic grammatical structures found in poetic forms.

The most important thing when learning a language is to build up your own language corpus and to actually use the language in conversation and in everyday life.
Since I taught myself German, I know the subtle differences between Chinese and German very well – from pronunciation to grammar to the cultural nuances behind them.

In my lessons, I don't use traditional textbooks. I'm much more interested in how you want to learn this language.
In the first lesson, we'll get to know each other through conversation: What do you like to talk about? What would you like to improve? After that, I'll create personalized lessons for you. Each lesson begins with an open conversation in Chinese. Depending on your needs, I'll integrate relevant audio and video materials into the lessons. After each lesson, you'll receive a list of new vocabulary and key points to keep you informed, so you can continuously expand your vocabulary. This is even more helpful if you use Anki :)

Note: This course is not suitable for absolute beginners or for targeted exam preparation.

Note: I currently only offer online lessons. From April onwards, it will also be possible to book in-person lessons again.

Fluent in English and B2-level German, I am passionate about helping speakers of both languages master Chinese through authentic connection. My approach skips the rigid, standardized textbooks; instead, we focus on practical dialogues and real-life conversations tailored to your interests.

Having traveled to countries like Singapore, Portugal, the UK, Germany, Czechia, and Italy, I bring a global perspective to my lessons. I love weaving my international experiences and personal stories into our sessions, making each lesson not just a language class, but a cultural exchange. Let’s learn Chinese through the lens of the real world!
