HSK & YCT & BCT Chinese standard language test preparation
Chinese is well known as a difficult language with tones and using characters totally different from alphabet. But with my 4 years of teaching Chinese as second language in University Gent as a full time lecture, 9 years experience in Wuhan University before I came to Belgium, my Belgian students starting from zero can managed to speak without foreign accent and pass HSK 4 after 1 year study. If you are looking for professional tutor and willing to put effort into it, I'm here for you.

13 years of teaching Chinese as a second language at University as a lecturer.Authorized examiner of HSK (Chinese TOEFL), YCT, BCT, and PSC (Mandarin level test for Chinese native speaker)
My class includes grammar, listening, oral, and writing. It will be an intensive private class requiring preview and homework for around 2 hours. Each time 1.5 hours for a personal class is recommended. 5 minutes to review what you have learned last time, 30 minutes to explain the grammar, 20 minutes to practice, 20 for listening, 10 minutes for writing, 5 minutes break.
Every 30-40 hours you are supposed to reach one level of HSK. HSK 1 equals A1 in the European language level system.
With HSK 3 you can survive in China while traveling. With HSK 4 you can go to a Chinese University to take courses in China.
I can also write your commendation letter to apply for a Chinese scholarship if you want to study in China. With Chinese, the biggest job market in the world is there for you.
Chinese is indeed a difficult language. That's why you need a good teacher knowing how to teach.

I really recommend Lin for everyone who wants to learn Chinese the proper way. She puts a large focus on the fundamentals such as pronouncing the syllables just as native Chinese would do it. She has an extensive background as a renowned Chinese teacher in Wuhan and knows the ins and outs of the official HSK exams. Her way of teaching is interactive and contains a lot of variety. She is also very flexible. For example, she was open to have video calls in between classes to check up on my progress. Lin is definitely the person to go too if you want to take the challenge of learning madarin!

Chinese language (Mandarin) and culture for all levels and agesWith my thorough knowledge of the Chinese language and culture, we will search together for the appropriate way to master the language. In my experience, everyone learns in a different way, so we will find out together what is the most fun!
I graduated in 2017 as a Sinologist at Ghent University (Chinese language and culture). I also obtained a master's degree at Sichuan University (四川大学) (2018). After that, I spent a few years in China. In addition to a basic course with an emphasis on oral, I create lessons that go beyond just language. Chinese language is embedded in culture and history, so we also take a moment to reflect on that. I have experience with private lessons for adults who move to China as expats, but the lessons are flexible and for all ages!
Lessons:
I use a basic Chinese course but there is a lot we can fill in ourselves. What kind of series/films do you like to watch? Is there any music you like to listen to? Through these questions I can recommend certain Chinese music and series that we can work with. For example, instead of homework I will give a film to watch, this way we learn through absorption instead of forcing ourselves to remember everything. If it is fun, everything sticks better!
Would you like to focus more on speaking instead of writing or vice versa? That is possible, in which situations would you like to use Chinese? For work or for a trip? That way we can adapt the lessons to personal wishes.
Once we have progressed a bit further, I also organize lessons and dinners with Chinese friends in Ghent or Brussels, so we can practice with real "native speakers".
Please let me know if you have any questions,
See you soon, Tommy

How to effectively improve Chinese level from zero to fluent conversationMore and more people are planning to learn Chinese for travel, work needs or simply because they are curious and interested in the language. The pronunciation and writing system of Chinese is very different from that of the Dutch and Latin languages, and it also becomes a huge obstacle in learning Chinese.
It is the aim of the courses I teach to help you overcome all obstacles in the Chinese learning process. As a student of English literature, I can understand the relationship between languages and how I can help you create this relationship.

I am fun, active, very patient, and responsible. I have never come late to all of my classes for more than 10 years.
For children's classes, I prepare songs, videos, cartoons, teaching and explaining at the same time, They learn really fast and never feel bored when they are excited with a fun teacher and materials. I believe that interest is the best teacher. So I try my best to prepare before classes and send materials after classes to students.

Mandarin Chinese courses: Beginner - Intermediate - AdvancedWith a master's degree in Sinology (KULeuven, 2015), years of professional experience in the field and 6 years of experience in the Chinese Minor bachelor programme and evening courses at VUB, I'm confident that my courses offer an efficient and comprehensive path to Chinese language proficiency.
This class provides tailor-made Chinese language courses for any age. By default, the course focusses on oral communication (listening and speaking skills) with a large amount of interaction. Reading and writing is available (and recommended), but optional. As a non-native speaker, I know what it is to learn Chinese at a later age.
Textbooks, workbook exercises and additional character writing exercises are included in the price.

Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare testI run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it.
I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature.
Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.

Chinese Lessons Tailored for Everyone, Including Beginners!My lessons cover a wide range from basic but systematic pronunciation to business applications. I can tailor your specific lessons to meet your need. I’ve offered lessons to students from different backgrounds, including fresh learners, Chinese majors, business people, and persons interested in Chinese culture.
Due to location, I only offer lessons online, but if your current base is in Beijing, we could have in person lessons. My online teaching experience is rich enough to guarantee a good teaching effect, with no worries about efficiency. I’ll engage you through funny events and eye catching presentations, to make you impressed, thus enhancing the teaching outcome.
My lessons are usually 16 times, 1-2 hours for each time, with variations according to your learning goals. The specific lesson time is decided by both of us before each lesson starts.
Before teaching, we need to work out a tailored schedule for your study. So tell me what your goal is and I’ll make a plan for you. The teaching plan will come into effect only with your consent. Note that after each lesson you may be required to finish some homework to test where you are, and you should send it to my email before next lesson. This may sound like strict but you don’t need to worry, because I’ll make it easy to handle and you’ll also feel a sense of achievement.
This is a bilateral project so we need to make sure our communication before, during and after each lesson to be smoothly.
