Learn Chinese from qualified teacher with 11 years of experience

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
As a language teacher I want to teach you practical and functional Mandarin. As a culture teacher, I want to give you a nuanced understanding of China. Besides being a teacher, I am also your coach and guide you through the joyful and challenging moments of your journey of learning Chinese language and culture.

I have 11 years of experience teaching Chinese, at Dutch secondary schools, HBO and also private lessons to adults, usually for business purposes who have daily contact with Chinese companies and customers. Some of them start from 0, some have lived and worked in China for several years, and also students who have studied China would like to improve their Chinese language skills to native speaker level. I really enjoy teaching students with different backgrounds and experiences.

When Princess Amalia, Princess of Orange, heir to the throne of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, chose to study Chinese during her secondary school, the Dutch television program RTL Boulevard interviewed me. I am also, together with my students at the Dutch secondary school, on TV of SBS 6 program 'Holland van Boven'. There are also several other interviews on local news in the Netherlands.

My private student describes me as: “Jessica is a wonderful teacher and I am very happy to have met her. She is fun to learn with, but also has a very clear vision of where we need to go and can follow exactly the mapped out path.”
My student comments on my lessons as follows: “The teacher is very active and does a lot of preparation for the lessons. The interaction is very good, talking a lot about all kinds of different topics helps to improve my Chinese.”

The Chinese language is always considered a very difficult language. Actually, it's not quite right. There are very practical and easy aspects of the Chinese language.

Do you also want to learn Chinese in a practical and fun way? Please don't hesitate to contact me! You will enjoy your learning journey!

Gwendolyn
Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levels
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!

Cristina
English and Chinese classes for beginner students
My methodology is applied through a focus on the "nature of expressing oneself" without blockages and above all without thinking about the mother language. The contents change depending on the needs of my students, as well as the techniques that I use as well. I usually accompany my lessons with videos or songs to acquire a higher level of "listening and comprehension". I have more experience with adults and primary school, so the level of my classes, based on entertaining and fun exercises, changes according to the objective that my students want to achieve.

Private Chinese/ Vietnamese teacher in Hanoi/ Online (to French/English/Vietnamese speakers)
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.

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
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.
