course price icon
From 46.66 C$ /h
arrow icon
Chill and fun Chinese (mandarin) lessons for anyone who's: interested in the language itself, or the beautiful culture behind, or conversation sessions... anything related to Chinese, culture and calligraphy!

Apart from English (which will be my main teaching language, unless you speak quite fluent Chinese already, in that case no English for you), I also speak German (~B2) and Italian (~A2)

*Important: I'm more oriented in the culture part, since I myself am a big history nerd and have passion for literature and linguistics. However I'm NOT a HSK teacher or exam tutor of any sort. I'll be more than happy to help but I'm probably not the best person to go to if you would like to take HSK tests.*

*Another important thing: it's gonna be fun so get ready and don't be shy! language is fun <3 *


Please write something about yourself in the message, be gentle and nice, thank you and looking forward to hearing from y'all :)

About Me
I'm a freelance graphic/UI designer, tattooist, music/history/film/art/computer nerd, and a Marxist. I speak fluent Chinese and English, some Italian and German.

I'm posting this course because I want to give something back to the city and help lovely people who are interested in learning new things as much as I can :)

I am a full-time professional Chinese Mandarin teacher from the North of China where Mandarin comes from.
I have been teaching for about 10 years as a teacher and school owner. I have my own school and website for studying Chinese. Students' ages are from 3 to adults. They are from all over the world. You can study with me online /come to my office/ Go-home lessons. Classes can be one-to-one or group classes.


I have been helping numerous people learn to speak Chinese and do exam HSK. Children always have fun learning Mandarin with me. I teach Mandarin for business purposes, traveling, YCT (for Children and teenagers), BCT (business Chinese), Conversational practice, Advanced level Chinese classes, etc. Any levels are all welcome.
Classes type:

HSK class: Level 1--Level 6
HSKK class: HSK speaking test (Beginner to advanced)
Chinese grammar class
BCT / Startup Business in China: Business Chinese (Beginner to Advanced)
YCT class: Level 1--Level 6 for children to teenagers

There are some other classes that welcome you to message me.

I grew up and had educations in China. I moved to Europe for teaching Chinese in 2019 November.
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.

The classes can be taught in Chinese, English.

With the innermost passion of playing and teaching this interesting instrument, I would love to encounter more international students from diverse backgrounds, as long as we can communicate in English/Chinese.

2025 is my 11th year of practicing. The music ran through my college time in Beijing, pursuing master's degree in the UK, Australia, Italy, and now in Germany as a PhD candidate in art history. My another profession is art curator and researcher. I am keen to spread the music to more regions and population, and even more, fusing the music with different genres of global music.


Traditional Sichuan School 1v1 teaching according to student's individual level. There is no fixed order to learn Guqin music. For beginners to advanced. Except for traditional pieces, we can also work with pop music transfers based on individual interest.

My Teaching list:

仙翁操 (Xiānwēng Cāo) – Immortal’s Song

酒狂 (Jiǔ Kuáng) – Drunken Ecstasy

关山月 (Guānshān Yuè) – Moon Over the Mountain Pass

良宵引 (Liángxiāo Yǐn) – A Pleasant Evening

神人畅 (Shénrén Chàng) – Divine Joy

桃李园序 (Táolǐ Yuán Xù) – Preface to the Peach and Plum Garden

风雷引 (Fēngléi Yǐn) – Winds and Thunder

梅花三弄 (Méihuā Sān Nòng) – Three Variations on the Plum Blossom

平沙落雁 (Píngshā Luòyàn) – Wild Geese Descending on the Sandbank

文王操 (Wénwáng Cāo) – King Wen’s Ode

梧叶舞秋风 (Wúyè Wǔ Qiūfēng) – Dancing Wutong Leaves in Autumn Wind

洞庭秋思 (Dòngtíng Qiūsī) – Autumn Thoughts by Lake Dongting

佩兰 (Pèi Lán) – Wearing Orchids

高山 (Gāo Shān) – High Mountains

流水 (Liú Shuǐ) – Flowing Water

离骚 (Lí Sāo) – Lament of Departure (or Encountering Sorrow, referencing Qu Yuan’s poem)

碣石调 幽兰 (Jiéshí Diào Yōu Lán) – Solitary Orchid in Jieshi Mode
