Why learn with me? I am currently a graduate student at TU Delft with extensive tutoring experience. I hold the Advanced Certificate in Putonghua (Standard Mandarin). Beyond academics, I work as a professional screenwriter, which gives me a deep and precise understanding of the Chinese language, storytelling, and rhetoric.

What I offer:
All Levels Welcome: Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner looking to polish your business or literary Chinese, I can guide you.
Cultural Immersion: Language is the key to culture. I love introducing students to Chinese history, trends, and traditions.

My goal is to help you not just speak, but truly understand the nuance and beauty of the language.

About Me

I grew up in Suzhou, a poetic city near Shanghai known for its classical gardens and rich history. Currently, I am majoring in Intelligent Product Design at TU Delft. Besides engineering, I am also a screenwriter, which gives me a dual perspective on language: logic vs. emotion.

Why I Started Teaching My journey began during a group project at TUD. My teammate, a Chinese enthusiast, could hold a daily conversation but struggled to discuss our project in Chinese. She didn't know the specific terms for "electronic circuits" (电子电路) or "workshop tools" (机械车间). This gap inspired me to design a course structure that is actually useful for your career and interests.

My 3 Specified Modules:

1. Chinese for Beginners: We build a solid foundation. I explain the logic behind Pinyin and Grammar, making the "hardest language" demystified and approachable.

2. Professional & Technical Chinese (My Specialty): Do you want to use Chinese in your workplace or research? I teach specialized vocabulary for Engineering, Design, and Business contexts (eg, tools, electronics, software interactions) so you can communicate professionally.

3. Cultural Immersion (The Screenwriter's Cut): Language is culture. Based on your interests (or "Mother Motifs"), I curate movies, music, and literature for you. We won't just read textbooks; we'll analyze scripts and lyrics to learn the most authentic expressions.

Learning Chinese isn't as stressful as it seems. The key is to have fun and to constantly practice with a native speaker. I teach Chinese for both speaking, writing and reading. I have been tutoring Chinese for years and I have designed various exercises for learning Pinyin, practicing standard pronunciation with gesture as well as daily communicative exercises.

During the lesson, I'd love to my students to speak Chinese as much as they can. Trust me, It's the best way to learn. I also plan game&movie events regularly to help my students get a closer look to the culture.

Chinese is one of the most spoken languages in the world. There are 1.39 billion Chinese speakers in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and worldwide Chinese communities, with 1 million new learners each year. Learning Chinese has become increasingly important these years due to China's economic growth and expansion of the Chinese market, which could create more business opportunities. Also, Chinese is a beautiful and necessary language for Chinese culture enjoyers to understand Chinese culture through the letters and patterns in the Chinese Language.

This class aims to teach Chinese to A1 to B1 level learners. Practice papers will be provided accordingly to teach the students effectively. We will start by learning the pinyin (romanization of Chinese vowels and alphabet), then identify Chinese words, form simple phrases, learn new vocabulary, use grammatical tenses, and learn simple literary devices to form more complex sentences.

I have been teaching Chinese for about 10 years, and over this time I’ve built a rich collection of teaching materials — including modern textbooks, interactive exercises and authentic texts adapted to different levels.
In my lessons, I pay great attention to phonetics, since Chinese is a tonal language that differs greatly from European ones. Correct pronunciation at the early stage helps students build a strong foundation for confident speaking later on.
My teaching style focuses on active communication — I encourage my students to speak as much as possible, even from the first lessons. We practice real-life dialogues, listening comprehension, and vocabulary expansion in a natural way.
I work with both children (through interactive and playful lessons) and adults, helping them achieve their goals — whether it’s travel, daily communication, or professional fluency.
I would be delighted to share my knowledge and help students achieve confidence and success in learning Chinese!
I hope to see you on my lessons!
