Besides, I am interested in traditional poems, it is an option either for the introduction of Chinese culture or for the learning of more native language. :-)

I like to communicate with everyone, make friends and exchange cultures. I think learning a language is fun when you also understand the culture. The lesson program is entirely up to you and at any level. I will do my best to make learning languages fun and enjoyable. You will learn how to communicate in the most effective and polite way to any Chinese speakers.

This class is composed of two parts.
1. Chinese Mandarin. In this class, you will learn Chinese listening and speaking. Do not worry about your current level, because I will give you a tailored plan according to your own situation. A few lessons later, you will be able to use Chinese to learn courses taught in Chinese and communicate with others in life. Or if you are preparing for your Chinese Proficiency Test(HSK), I can help you with some targeted training, such as grammar mistake checking or writing.
2. Chinese traditional culture. In this part, you will have a chance to explore the magical world of Chinese traditional culture.
Do you know the importance of the 24 Solar Terms? Do you want to know the origin of the Spring Festival? After learning this course, your Chinese will become much better especially your understanding of this language and this country.

If you would like to improve your Chinese, I can help you out in an interesting and never boring way. For your tutoring, I would design a detailed plan based on your interest and preference for learning.
You will not only improve your Chinese skills, like speaking, writing, reading, and listening, but also get into a local source for you to know deeper about daily life in China. We would share ideas together and you will be offered great materials to continue your Chinese studies in the future!
P.S.: Onsite classes will only be available in a café.

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!

Hello! I'm a Master's student at EPFL and a patient, attentive Chinese tutor. In my free time, I love playing video games, and being an elder sister to a younger sibling has taught me a great deal about patience and how to explain things clearly and gently. I understand the challenges of starting a new language from scratch.

One years ago, I had the pleasure of trying teaching a student from the UK, who told me "I really enjoy learning Chinese with you". This experience, which was also my first real interaction with a foreigner, was rewarding and fuels my passion for teaching.

If you're looking for a supportive and enjoyable way to start your Chinese journey, please get in touch!
