Mandarin is widely spoken in China, and it is used in almost all the situations like working palces, schools and daily conversations with people from all over China speaking different dialects. I design the Mandarin course for beginners and upper level learners. You will learn how to read and wrtie Chinese characters, and learn about grammar, and you will start having conversations in Chinese.

Mongolian language is spoken in China and Mongolian , also some other rigions in other countries. I am a native Mongolian speaker from China and we use classical Mongolian script which is different from the Cyrrilic script that used in Mongolia to write Mongolian words. I design the Mongolian course for people who are interested in Mongolian language and culture. You will learn the pronounciation and writing of Mongolian words, grammer and daily conversations.

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.

▸ Who I Work With?

My lessons are not for beginners looking to learn "ni hao" and "xie xie." They are for:

- Entrepreneurs and business owners who want to understand Chinese business culture, negotiation dynamics, and market rules

- Academics and intellectuals — including the university professors I've taught, and anyone hungry for deep intellectual dialogue

- Creative professionals who want to understand Chinese aesthetics, internet culture, and consumer sensibilities

- Deep thinkers who want to explore philosophy, social psychology, and the differences between Eastern and Western civilizations

If you need a tutor to walk you through textbook exercises, I'm probably not your person. If you need someone who has actually sat at the negotiation table, built real things, and can engage with your ideas seriously — book a lesson with me.

──────────────────

▸ Teaching Experience:

I have two years of offline Chinese teaching experience. My students have included Korean automotive designers, American software engineers, European entrepreneurs, and university professors. I adapt well to students from diverse cultural backgrounds and tailor lesson plans to your specific goals.

──────────────────

▸ What You Can Expect:

Every lesson is built around your specific goals:

- Business & Negotiation Chinese — learn to read between the lines in Chinese business communication, structure a persuasive pitch, and handle high-stakes conversations

- Project-Based Learning — bring your real project, whether it's a business plan, a brand deck, or a speech, and we'll work on it directly in Chinese

- Deep Intellectual Dialogue — explore topics like "the future relationship between humanity and AI," "the driving forces behind China's peaceful rise," or "the collision of Eastern and Western ways of thinking" — all while sharpening your advanced Chinese expression

- HSK Exam Preparation (Optional) — If you're working toward an HSK certification, I can integrate exam-focused vocabulary and grammar into our business Chinese lessons, ensuring your exam preparation never feels like rote memorization.

I don't do scripted role-plays. I do real conversations about things that truly matter to you.

──────────────────

▸ Teaching Style

As a self-taught psychology enthusiast, I bring deep listening and empathy into my classroom. My teaching style is safe and fully accepting: I refrain from quick judgment, and I use questions to guide you in clarifying your thoughts and reaching the heart of a topic. What you'll gain is not just fluency, but a deeply understanding, warm conversational experience.

──────────────────

Maybe you're still hesitating about whether to learn Chinese.

Or perhaps there's a question you just can't shake —

In the age of AI, when instant translation is everywhere, why invest so much energy in learning a new language?

Here's my answer: a language is the crystallized wisdom of a civilization. It is a vital bridge to touch the thoughts and soul of another people.

When you're no longer satisfied with a surface-level understanding of Chinese, and instead choose to personally feel and experience the collision and nourishment of different ways of thinking — language learning stops being a tedious task. It becomes a journey of breaking out of fixed perceptions and realizing deeper self-awareness. In this exploration, you'll come to understand the cultural meanings and thought patterns behind the language. And in the process of understanding Chinese, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your own culture.

Just as AI can never replace a psychologist, capturing your non-verbal, subconscious self-expression — it can also never replace your own firsthand experience, to reap this enormous, long-term value that transcends language itself.

So, what are you waiting for? Book your first lesson now.

I truly look forward to meeting you in class. Let's work together toward your goals.

I am a multilingual linguist specializing in comparative linguistics, second language acquisition, and language teaching. For more than 15 years, I have taught Chinese, French and Italian to students of different ages, proficiency levels, and linguistic/cultural backgrounds through both private lessons and university courses.

I hold a binational PhD in Linguistics and Language Teaching from Sapienza University of Rome and INALCO (Paris). Throughout my career, I have taught and conducted research in Italy, France, and China. I have published extensively on linguistics and language acquisition, serve as Managing Editor of an international academic journal, and regularly collaborate with universities and research institutions in Europe and China.

Whether your goal is to prepare for an exam, improve your speaking skills, learn a language for work, or simply discover a new culture, I will tailor each course to your needs and objectives. Lessons may include conversation, grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, and listening comprehension, depending on your goals. I use a wide range of materials and place particular emphasis on developing practical communication skills while helping students understand the underlying structure of the language.

My research focuses on how languages are learned and acquired. This enables me to identify the specific challenges faced by each learner and to adapt my teaching methods accordingly, making the learning process more effective and engaging.

As language and culture are inseparable, learning a language means not only acquiring new linguistic skills, but also gaining insight into the cultural and social contexts in which it is spoken. I aim to help students build both linguistic confidence and a deeper understanding of the language they are learning.

I am a multilingual linguist specializing in comparative linguistics, second language acquisition, and language teaching. For more than 15 years, I have taught Chinese, French and Italian to students of different ages, proficiency levels, and linguistic/cultural backgrounds through both private lessons and university courses.

I hold a binational PhD in Linguistics and Language Teaching from Sapienza University of Rome and INALCO (Paris). Throughout my career, I have taught and conducted research in Italy, France, and China. I have published extensively on linguistics and language acquisition, serve as Managing Editor of an international academic journal, and regularly collaborate with universities and research institutions in Europe and China.

Whether your goal is to prepare for an exam, improve your speaking skills, learn a language for work, or simply discover a new culture, I will tailor each course to your needs and objectives. Lessons may include conversation, grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, and listening comprehension, depending on your goals. I use a wide range of materials and place particular emphasis on developing practical communication skills while helping students understand the underlying structure of the language.

My research focuses on how languages are learned and acquired. This enables me to identify the specific challenges faced by each learner and to adapt my teaching methods accordingly, making the learning process more effective and engaging.

As language and culture are inseparable, learning a language means not only acquiring new linguistic skills, but also gaining insight into the cultural and social contexts in which it is spoken. I aim to help students build both linguistic confidence and a deeper understanding of the language they are learning.
