About Me
As a passionate and friendly tutor with a background in English Language and Linguistics, I enjoy helping students grow in both confidence and skill. I tailor my lessons to each student’s needs, whether you’re preparing for exams, working on academic writing, or simply looking to improve your spoken English. As a non-native speaker who has studied linguistics at a UK university, I understand the challenges language learners face and how to overcome them. I aim to create a supportive, engaging learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and enjoy the process of learning.
Education
I hold a degree in English Language and Linguistics from the University of York, where I studied modules including Phonetics and Phonology, Language Acquisition, and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). My academic training equipped me with a strong grasp of English grammar, pronunciation, and language structure, as well as the ability to adapt teaching methods to suit individual learners. I also have a particular interest in historical linguistics and enjoy incorporating cultural and linguistic context into my lessons. This background allows me to support students in developing not only accurate language skills but also a deeper understanding of English as a living, evolving system.

I am a native Mandrine Chinese speaker and aslo a student who is currently undertaking a Masters course in university. I was schooled in China for more than eighteen years before coming to UK, therefore I have a very good understanding of Chinese culture as well as the language. I had years experience in teaching Chinese and English in my spare time when I was in China and after I moved here.

I would like to help someone who already has some basic knowledge in Mandarin and would like to focus on certain aspects (i.e speaking, grammar, writing), or if they need help with understanding Chinese novels, or you just need someone to practice speaking with, I can be a good help for that. As I said above, I am a student myself so I completely understand the difficulty of learning a new language, I am flexible in the ways of teaching, just let me know your goals and I am sure we can work out how we can do this so it will benefit you the most.

Please don't be hesitate to contact me if you are interested or if you want to know more about myself and how I can help with learning Mandarine Chinese.

Thanks.

This is a place where we exchange languages. Please feel free to make mistakes while learning! If you’re looking for someone to chat in Mandarin/ Japanese, you're at the right place! We can even sing and play some easy games. My aim is for you to enjoy the language, not just studying with textbooks or dictionaries. Of course, if you prefer to do it in more of a serious way, which involves a lot of listening, speaking, reading and writing, that’s also fine.

I'm from Rome but I have a clean articulated Italian accent and clean diction. If you need to work on your conversation skills, I can help you reduce your accent, improve fluency and also use the Italian hand gestures!

I’m from Rome and am fluent in Italian, English and Mandarin Chinese. Previously studied in Italy for 5 years, I improved my Chinese translation skills while taking a double BA in Mandarin Chinese and Art History at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (SOAS). Due to my interest in Chinese language and culture, I had the opportunity to live and study in Beijing for several years. I passed the Chinese Proficiency Test HSK5, and now self-studying for HSK6 (top level).

Don't worry if you are a total beginner, an expert or in the middle, my teaching method is based on active conversation supported by grammar exercises, quizzes and everyday phrases to help you get the most out from the first lesson. The post-session exercises will be tailor made according to your level and needs. You will be followed both online and offline: I will be always open for questions before and after the lesson and actively helping with the most suitable study method for you.

My students are mainly English native speakers, but I'm able to teach Italian also to Mandarin Chinese speakers.

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

Cantonese is the spoken Chinese language used in Hong Kong and several provinces in China. It is not an easy language but it is very useful especially for those of you who are looking to further your career or development in Hong Kong, a glamorous international city.

Born and bred in Hong Kong, I am native in this language and I will be able to teach my beginner students basic words, strokes if needs be, the 9 tonalities, and the pronunciation of every new word. We'll start with words, and then vocabularies, and further, grammar, sentence structure to formulate simple sentences.

My teaching style is casual. I believe that practicing is the key to perfecting any skills not least languages, and I am passionate about having intriguing conversations with people from a variety of diverse backgrounds.
