你好!Grüezi!Hola!Hello!

I'm a Confucius Institute (the ONLY globally recognized official institution for teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages) certified Mandarin teacher.

I'm also an official YCT (Youth Chinese Test)/ HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test)/ HSKK (Chinese Proficiency Spoken Test) test examiner.

In addition to giving private lessons, I also teach Chinese at international schools and lead Mandarin immersion Spielgruppe (playgroup) in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. My speciality is teaching children between the age of 2.5 and 12 in an immersive and interactive learning environment. By means of guided game-playing, painting, story-reading, drama activities, song-singing, dancing, and handcraft-making, kids achieve organic language acquisition while having a lot of fun.

The predominant features you will find in my class are tailor-made teaching materials and methods that are customized to best suit your specific study objectives (Preschooler Chinese, K-12 Chinese, YCT, HSK, Beginner Chinese, Conversational Chinese, Business Chinese...etc.).

As a language learner myself (B.A. major in Spanish and currently studying German), I have great patience and willingness to help you on your journey towards Chinese proficiency, because I know how frustrating it could get at times. Being in the shoes of a linguistics student for years also enables me to better instruct you, as I understand very well what are the things a learner would find helpful.

I welcome students of all age groups and prior proficiency levels. Looking forward to sharing my knowledge of Chinese language and culture with you:)

Learning Chinese can be an exciting and rewarding journey, and this course is designed to make it both enjoyable and effective. Chinese is a rich and fascinating language with a long history and a unique writing system. Whether you are a beginner or looking to enhance your existing skills, this course will provide you with a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.
In this course, I will introduce you to the world of Chinese characters in a vivid and memorable way. Instead of just memorizing the shapes, you'll learn the stories and origins behind each character, making it easier to understand and remember them. We'll explore how these characters combine to form words and sentences, and how they reflect the culture and wisdom of China.
Grammar can sometimes be a challenging part of learning a new language, but don't worry! I'll break down the rules and structures in a clear and easy - to - understand manner. Through practical examples and interactive exercises, you'll gain a solid grasp of Chinese grammar and be able to use it confidently in your conversations and writings.
Chinese literature is a treasure trove of wisdom, beauty, and inspiration. We'll delve into classic Chinese texts, poetry, and stories, and I'll guide you through the language and cultural context. You'll not only learn the language but also gain a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural heritage that it represents.
Whether you are interested in traveling to China, communicating with Chinese - speaking friends, or simply expanding your linguistic and cultural knowledge, this course will equip you with the skills and confidence to achieve your goals. Join me on this wonderful journey of learning Chinese!
