Basic Video Editing Skills using Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro is a highly effective and powerful program for video editing and filmmaking. It is used by not only industry professionals but also film enthusiasts that simply want to make a video for YouTube.

I am an experienced freelance filmmaker, and I hope to teach the basics of non-linear editing through Adobe Premiere Pro so that students who are interested in making their own films can learn how to make their own films on their own computers. This class is designed for beginners who are interested in learning how to use the program. You will learn the basic tools and keyboard shortcuts, as well as the basic workflow of the interface. You will also learn the basics of video editing working with film clips or your own footage.

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 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!

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!

Learning German can be easier: I support children (approx. 6-12 years old) with reading, writing, and spelling, patiently, systematically, and in a positive learning environment. We first work together to identify where they're struggling, and then practice exactly what's currently important for school. It's important to me that your child not only completes tasks "correctly," but truly understands how to learn more confidently and independently. We celebrate small steps forward, because they make the biggest difference.
