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!

As a native Chinese speaker, I offer personalized Mandarin Chinese lessons for children, teenagers and adults, from beginner to advanced level.
I completed a Chinese teaching internship at the university and also had the opportunity to work with learners of different ages, including young children. This experience taught me to adapt the pace, materials, and teaching methods according to each student's age, level, and objectives.
Lessons can cover pronunciation and tones, conversation, vocabulary, grammar, listening and reading comprehension, as well as learning Chinese characters. Depending on your needs, we can also work on Chinese for studies, travel, daily life, or simply out of interest in the Chinese language and culture.
For children, I favor a gradual and interactive approach, with age-appropriate activities to naturally develop listening, pronunciation, and vocabulary. For teenagers and adults, lessons can be more structured around specific objectives and a personalized learning path.
Explanations can be given in French or English if necessary. The content and pace of the sessions are entirely tailored to each student.
