I've been teaching Italian for over 5 years, armed with a Double Degree in Languages, plus not one, but two Masters in teaching Italian! 🎓 🇮🇹 And here's the ciliegina sulla torta: I just kicked off a BSc in International Communication.

Are you ready to embark on an incredible adventure through the enchanting world of Italy, Italians, and gestures? :-)

We begin by assessing your level, goals, and needs. Together, we craft a personalized plan, ensuring that your learning experience is tailored, efficient, and effective. The classes are tailored to suit your individual level, needs, and goals. Depending on you, we will use textbooks, online tools, or articles among others.

My approach encompasses various aspects such as conversation, vocabulary, grammar, Italian culture, or test preparation.

Hey,

I am Yu. Nice to meet you.
This lesson can help you set out to learn how to speak Hanyu, read, and write Zhongwen. For this purpose, you will study the Chinese alphabet (Hanyu Pinyin), characters(Hanzi), vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and common words and phrases. If you want to learn the Chinese language, you've found the right class!

Course materials can be:
-Standard Course HSK (for language ability test)
-Experiencing Chinese (for immersive classes)
-Learn Chinese with me (for schoolchildren and teenagers)
-AP Chinese
-.......
-any tailor-made materials that interest you

This course is designed in three versions for different kinds of participants:

1) A Beginner!

- Have little or no prior knowledge of the Chinese language;
- Want to learn how to make yourself understood in Chinese when traveling, for example, understanding and speaking common everyday words (and sentences) in different typical scenarios ;
- Hope to express 1-10 and some larger numbers in China in speech or by gesture decently.

*Some examples at this stage:

- Hello! Thank you. How are you?
- Sorry. / You're welcome!
- I can speak Chinese! What's your name?
- What's the date today? What's the time now?
- I'd like a cup of coffee. Is this seat free?
- (and other current Chinese usages in any scenarios you're interested in! )

**Naturally, pronunciation and the four vowel tones are an important part of the lessons, but participants also learn the principles of Chinese writing and gain an understanding of Chinese culture!

2) An Intermediate Learner

- Have upper-intermediate knowledge of Chinese;
- Need to increasingly enhance our active language skills, to expand your vocabulary, practice reading without Pinyin, and master more advanced grammar and fixed structures to be able to make longer sentences;
- Interest yourself in being able to express your views on common everyday topics, like foods, drinks, gifts, weather, Chinese habits, and common practice.

3) An Advanced Learner
- Can speak and understand Chinese reasonably well;
- Attempt to deepen your understanding of Chinese culture and learn more advanced grammatical constructs to communicate more specific and complex ideas in Chinese, both verbally and in writing;
- Focus on topics dealt with leisure and hobbies, hospitality, culture, arts, poetry, history, dynasties and civilization, of modern and ancient China.

***I have lived in China for over twenty years, traveled to many cites (including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Hongkong, Macau, and so on), and have been educated at respected schools and universities.

Currently, I am studying Social Sciences in the Netherlands and I am a fan of Chinese literature/Japanese anime/Marvel films, so it's also welcome that you would like to have an informative and interesting talk in Chinese about these topics.

+China captures the imagination with its fascinating contrasts. A modern-day global economic entity that proudly upholds ancient traditions. Definitely, a good way to start learning more about China is by taking Chinese!

Ciao! I am a native Italian and English speaker and I have been teaching teenagers and adults in the last ten years. A History, Cultural Heritage and Chemistry graduate, I am especially passionate about linguistics and different cultures!

Our conversation lessons will help you learn and practice your Italian, whether you are a beginner or want to perfect the language. Topics will be tailored to your needs and can range from basic scenarios to more specific ones (professional, travel or cultural context). When necessary we can focus on specific grammar rules and expand vocabulary that is more important to you.

Approach - I always encourage the student to develop a personal connection to the language by exploring personal interests and real-life language use. In my lessons, I favour a flexible approach and encourage regular practice, which will definitely help you to develop your Italian and keep it active in the long run.

Hello everyone! I'm a professional teacher in different areas that include languages: Chinese (Mandarin), English, Russian. I have been teaching for about 10 years since I started my bachelor’s degree in Chinese studies and world literature in Ukraine. I have also worked as an early childhood educator in Shanghai for over 3 years. I love to work with children of different ages. I like to imply Friedrich Froebel's educational method, when children construct their understanding of the world through direct experience of it in play (free self-activity, creativity, social participation and motor expression). I have experience in both kindergarten and home education. I have also given Russian classes to adults and I can prepare all the necessary materials for you based on your level, but you can also provide your own materials. The courses cover the following areas: general language, oral language, reading and writing.

On request: world literature and creative writing, scientific writing, Chinese calligraphy.

My background:
Bachelor's in Chinese and World Literature (Ukraine)
Master’s in Media & News (China)
Master’s in Art (Germany)

Hello! My name is Haixin, and I am a professional Chinese language teacher with over ten years of teaching experience. I run my own teaching practice (KVK registered) and currently give most lessons at students’ homes.

I specialize in teaching complete beginners, guiding them step by step with patience, structure, and a lot of encouragement. My lessons focus on practical Mandarin (listening, speaking, reading, writing), and I also introduce cultural elements such as Chinese festivals, traditions, and even hands-on workshops (for example, Chinese calligraphy or crafts).

For Dutch-speaking students, I use bilingual Chinese-Dutch teaching materials. This makes it much easier to follow the lessons, build confidence, and enjoy the process of learning a new language.

Whether you are a student, a professional, or simply curious about Chinese culture, I would be happy to help you achieve your goals.

📍 Lessons: usually at students’ homes (Amstelveen/Amsterdam region), but online lessons are also possible.
👩‍🏫 Experience: Teaching in the Netherlands & volunteering in Sri Lanka (cross-cultural experience).
🌱 Suitable for: complete beginners, school support, adults, or anyone who wants to start learning Mandarin in a structured and engaging way.

Feel free to contact me for lessons—I look forward to meeting you!

Learn Italian Through Italian Culture is a class designed for students who want to improve their Italian through songs, films, social phenomena, media, and everyday cultural references.
Instead of focusing only on grammar, we learn Italian by exploring how the language is actually used in real life.
You will learn vocabulary, expressions, and grammar in context, while discovering Italian culture and contemporary society. My goal is to keep students challenged but not overwhelmed, adapting lessons to each level.
Absolute beginners are welcome; lessons are flexible, engaging, and tailored to your interests.
