Please Note: currently, I am studying at Oxford University. I prefer to teach via video call, and to teach in Oxford/ London.

I am native Chinese and have lived in different European countries for many years, working for international organizations. I am naive in Chinese, fluent in English/ Spanish and have intermediate level of French. I can teach you Chinese in English or Spanish. I taught adults/ students Chinese when I was in Europe. I am very interested in languages, cultures, and arts. I play Chinese traditional music (Guzheng). So, if you are interested, I can teach you Guzheng.

Why I am offering Chinese course here?
I enjoy talking with people from different cultural background, and learning from them.

Please contact me if you want to learn Chinese/ Chinese music with me.

I have been living in Spain for more than 10 years, I am very confident in my Spanish and Catalan. Moreover, as I am Chinese so if you are interested in learning another completely different new language, I am very happy to help you.

My goal is to help you with the language pronunciation, grammar and day to day necessary expression. After each class, I will provide feedback to help you to know where you need to improve and which are the things you are doing well.

Depending on the age range, I will decide to have the class in a more attractiveness way (for children) or a more serious way ( for teenagers and adults). Thank you

I grew up in Beijing and has been living in Hong Kong for 20 years. I got my Putonghua teaching certificate at Hong Kong Chinese University and has been awarded the first-class grade in the National Putonghua Proficiency Test. I have been teaching Mandarin for over 15 years and have also worked as a Mandarin Chinese curriculum designer and instructor.

My young students are mainly from ISF, CIS, VAS, GSIS, FIS, HKIS, AISHK, Kettett School, Hong Kong Academy, ESF, Hong Kong Japanese School. Besides the IB, I am familiar with IGCSE Chinese, as well as AP Chinese requirements.

My adult courses are carried out in accordance with the HSK levels from Beginner onwards. I am using the good HSK framework, to help students progress milestone by milestone.

I teach any degree of students, so even if you are a beginner, don't worry.

In our first class, I will spend a little time asking about your needs, and what class you want to take, which allows me to find the right materials to make textbooks.

I will design a course according to the needs of the students. Whether it is listening, speaking, or reading, I will make a textbook for you, so you can review it after class, which will make you progress quickly. If you have any questions during class or after class, please feel free to tell me.

In the course of learning, I will use the example sentence instead of the explanation, so that you can clearly know the context in which the sentence can be used.

You will have a textbook for each class, I will also give you homework after class if you want to practice more.

You are also welcome to take a conversation with me. You can talk about any topic you are interested in, which will greatly enhance your conversational skills.

My classes focus on engaging, age-appropriate content, carefully crafted with attention to detail. I use interactive activities and games to teach language skills, creating a dynamic learning environment where students feel comfortable communicating.

I am available to teach beginner and intermediate Mandarin and Cantonese classes for students of all ages, including kindergarten, primary, secondary school, and adults. I plan to continue my interactive approach in these upcoming classes.
