Chinese language and studies by college-educated native speaker

From 79.98 C$ /h

I'm a 30-year-old Chinese man currently residing near Schuman Roundabout, 1000 Brussels. I have a valid long-term visa allowing me to work here.

I'm university-educated in China and have been working since mid-2011 with a top news organization where my job is to write Chinese- and English-language articles. My job actually asks me to understand Chinese politics and economics, both from within the Chinese state but also from outside.

Therefore I'm offering not only the Chinese language, but also a balanced and reasoned perspective about China.

I'm well-mannered and patient. I'll admit I haven't taught the Chinese lanuage - Chinese mandarin, spoken by 1.4 billion people in the Chinese mainland - professionally. But I think we will work it out.

I can also stay online via instant messaging apps to answer your questions from time to time.

I live in a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment all by myself so it's OK if you want to come to my place. I can also travel by public transport. I'm actually quite flexible - workdays and weekends could all work for me.

If you are interested, pls drop me an email. I'll write back ASAP.

Extra information

You're very welcome to bring your Chinese-language textbooks, homeworks or reading materials.
Please note I only speak English. I don't speak French or Dutch or German.

Hello everyone,

My name is Emilie! I learned and studied Mandarin Chinese for 10 years in a Taiwanese school.
Perfectly bilingual in Chinese and French, and now for 8 years (teaching experience with more than ten students), I teach Chinese out of passion, in order to discover the richness of this language as well as Chinese culture.

I offer individual lessons to learn the Chinese language and culture. The lessons are interactive and fun. I offer crafts, nursery rhymes and songs, board games, mime and guessing games, Chinese calligraphy, etc.
All activities are done in Chinese, which allows you to learn while having fun. In addition, I take into consideration the opinions of parents and children at the end of each lesson. This allows me to improve the way I teach and adapt to the expectations of parents as well as the abilities and motivation of children.

I am located in Woluwe Saint-Lambert and can travel to Woluwe Saint-Pierre, Wezembeek-Oppem, Kraainem, Auderghem, Ixelles, Etterbeek.
I have one position available starting in May 2025. Don't hesitate to contact me quickly!

If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to message me on Apprentus!

Looking forward to meeting you, Emilie

This is a practising-oriented course for students to practice their oral and listening skills. It is also designed for students from a very young age ( suitable for kids and adults).

For all aged students, the procedure is mainly carried out with daily communication dialogue, which encourages students to express their thoughts in Chinese.

For kids who are under 10 years old, the course is aiming at enriching the students' vocabulary and improving their speaking and listening skills (e.g. interesting stories, popular songs and poetries, help reading books are also considered to be a part of the course content). Different levels of courses are designed according to sepcific requirements of the students. Besides, assistance for Chinese - related homework is also provided.

For teenagers and adults, the course format is mainly as a conversation with friends in every course with different topics. New words and expressions can be obtained in a new topic which depends on the sharing thoughts on both ( the student and the teacher) sides.

Chinese is an essential tool for expressing oneself and understanding the world. I offer comprehensive instruction, from basic Pinyin, Zhuyin, and Chinese character writing to advanced reading comprehension and essay writing skills, while also strengthening oral expression and listening comprehension. Learning Chinese not only improves academic performance but also cultivates logical thinking and confidence, laying a solid foundation for future learning of other subjects.
