Chinese (Mandarin) and Japanese courses for all levels

From 85.73 C$ /h

Our Mandarin Chinese and Japanese courses are designed for beginners who want to discover the language and culture, as well as intermediate students who want to improve their communication skills. At the beginner level, participants learn the essential basics: pronunciation, tones, and pinyin for Chinese; hiragana and katakana for Japanese; and simple vocabulary and grammar for introducing themselves, asking questions, and discussing everyday life. At the intermediate level, the program delves deeper into grammar, vocabulary, and oral expression to enable more natural conversations, reading dialogues or short texts, and writing more complex sentences, while discovering cultural aspects of both countries. Course content remains highly flexible and adapts to the needs, interests, and pace of each student, offering a personalized and motivating learning experience. Courses can be taken in English, allowing for better comprehension for native English learners or those who prefer to progress in a bilingual setting.

I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.

I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.

I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

We are two Japanese teachers: Rena and Guillaume.

We teach Japanese in pairs, suitable for all levels—beginner, intermediate, or advanced—and all ages: children, teenagers, adults, or seniors.

We cover all programs: conversation, vocabulary, grammar, hiragana-katakana, kanji.

Do you want to learn Japanese effectively and adapted to your projects?

Do you want to acquire useful knowledge and progress naturally in order to reach a current level of Japanese?

If so, we're here to help you make your Japanese study a reality!

– Rena takes care of the parts: pronunciation, conversation and writing (hiragana, katakana, kanji).

- Guillaume is responsible for the explanation of grammar, conjugation and vocabulary.

Since 2015, we have been perfecting this type of teaching.

. You have a travel plan in Japan, but you do not have which manual would suit you best: We have created an ebook exclusively dedicated to travelers.

. You want to study Japanese in school and you want to have a solid foundation: We have the materials and the manuals adapted to your objectives.

. You wish to live in Japan on a working holiday visa (PVT): We can train you effectively so that you can integrate quickly into Japanese society (training in job interviews, business code, creating social links, etc.)

For false beginners, intermediate or advanced students, during the first lesson, we will assess your level and adapt the program based on the result.

For beginners, we will first look at the following points in detail: Learning to introduce yourself, saying your name, your age, what you like, etc.

We can't wait to start classes with you!

Matane!

This combined course allows you to learn Mandarin Chinese and English simultaneously, with a structured yet accessible approach.
Each session is structured around a practical theme (business, travel, culture, daily life) and allows you to acquire:
• parallel Chinese/English vocabulary
• Useful expressions for everyday communication
• essential cultural reference points
• an introduction to Chinese calligraphy (basics of writing and strokes)
• Measurable progress, tailored to your goals

An ideal format for international professionals, mobile students or language enthusiasts who wish to progress in a practical, modern and cultural way.

I offer practical Korean and Japanese lessons focused on real-life communication rather than textbook-style learning.

My classes are relaxed and flexible, suitable for beginners or learners who want to improve everyday conversation and understand natural expressions used by native speakers.

Lessons can be adapted to your personal goals, such as daily life, travel, basic communication, or exam preparation (TOPIK / JLPT).
