I come from Taiwan, Formosa, where Mandarin Chinese is an official language using traditional Chinese characters.

I learned Chinese as a foreign language at National Taiwan University, an institution that practices and studies the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language very thoroughly, training both Taiwanese students who wish to become Chinese teachers abroad, and foreign students who want to learn Chinese quickly and efficiently.

My teaching style is always warm, lively and dynamic. I have several years of experience teaching Chinese to foreign students, beginners as well as advanced (particularly in Geneva, as well as with foreign and Chinese-speaking children at the Le Rosey Institute), and almost 10 years of experience teaching Spanish online via Zoom.

For beginner students, I use French and Chinese at the same time, slowing down the speaking rate in Chinese; for advanced students, I use Chinese 100%, and if there is difficulty, I explain in French in a simple and clear way.

Both traditional and simplified Chinese characters are available, as well as Taiwanese phonetic notation (Zhuyin/Bopomofo) and Chinese Pinyin.

Homework will be provided to help students progress and learn to write Chinese characters.

About Me
I come from Taiwan (Formosa), and I am an indigenous Taiwanese (aboriginal) from the Paiwan and Pangcah (also known as Amis) communities. Therefore, in addition to Mandarin Chinese, I also speak the indigenous Paiwan and Pangcah languages, as well as the Taiwanese dialect. I also have a passion for foreign languages: I speak French, English, and Spanish—Spanish being the language of my undergraduate degree, which I obtained in Taiwan, although I now feel more comfortable speaking French.

Dance is my life, it is what led me to Paris, where I live today and where I give my classes, both in person and online.
I practice classical dance (ballet), Tahitian, contemporary, Taiwanese indigenous, Chinese folk, martial arts, jazz, salsa, and more.

My teaching style is warm, lively and dynamic. I pay particular attention to pronunciation, which I correct with practical and concrete methods.
I have several years of experience teaching Chinese to foreign students, beginners as well as advanced students, and nearly 10 years of experience teaching Spanish online via Zoom.
