China is increasingly developing into the world's economic powerhouse. Therefore, it's beneficial for those interested to learn more about Chinese culture and to develop a grasp of the language, eventually even speaking it fluently. I was born in Beijing and have lived in the Netherlands for 30 years. For the past 15 years, I have been giving private Chinese lessons to students at various levels. Lessons can be tailored to your needs and at any level. The focus can be on pronunciation, but also on learning character script. I have a variety of teaching materials available for use.

As a creative copy professional and philosopher, I see every lesson as an experiment. To keep us both on the edge of our seats, I continuously explore new ways of teaching that fit your specific needs. Feel tempted? Book your first lesson and get one extra!

Doubts? Dutch might feel a little violent to a delicate mouth in the beginning. But once you get passed that, a sea of inspiring and quirky new ways to express yourself will open up. To help you move beyond that hump, I will adjust my lessons to your personal passions and interests, including your specific reasons to speak and/or write in this language right now.

Two kids that are roughly the same level can share one webcam lesson of one-hour minimum. Keep in mind that we will stay online for at least 15 minutes extra, as young ones will need at least two 5 minute breaks.
