I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it.

I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature.

Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.

Fluent in English and B2-level German, I am passionate about helping speakers of both languages master Chinese through authentic connection. My approach skips the rigid, standardized textbooks; instead, we focus on practical dialogues and real-life conversations tailored to your interests.

Having traveled to countries like Singapore, Portugal, the UK, Germany, Czechia, and Italy, I bring a global perspective to my lessons. I love weaving my international experiences and personal stories into our sessions, making each lesson not just a language class, but a cultural exchange. Let’s learn Chinese through the lens of the real world!

Hi! I’m a native Chinese speaker with a degree in English, and I’ve been learning languages for many years through both professional training and real-life, everyday use. Because of this, I understand what language learners find difficult — and how to make the process clearer, easier, and more enjoyable.

My lessons focus on practical Chinese, confidence-building, and learning in a relaxed way. Whether you want to improve speaking, pronunciation, listening, or understand how Chinese is actually used in daily life, I’ll guide you step by step.

Tell me your purpose for learning Chinese — travel, work, exams, daily conversation, or personal interest — and we’ll customise the lessons to match your goals, pace, and learning style.

Let’s make Chinese learning simple and fun 😊

Are you an adult learner aiming to use Chinese in real-life scenarios—whether for HSK exams, work meetings, or business communication? This course is designed to turn your Chinese skills into practical, usable tools.
As a CTCSOL-certified tutor with 2 years of 1-on-1 teaching experience, I focus on:
HSK preparation (Levels 1-5): Targeted practice for listening, reading, and writing (e.g., filling out forms, understanding daily conversations, passing HSK exams efficiently).
Business Chinese: Real workplace scenarios (e.g., introducing yourself in meetings, negotiating prices, writing professional emails, and making business calls).
Conversational fluency: Quick, natural phrases for daily/business interactions (no more memorizing useless vocabulary!).
Lessons are 100% customized to your goals: If you need to prepare for an HSK test next month, we’ll focus on exam skills. If you have a business trip to China, we’ll practice negotiation and small talk.
By the end of each lesson, you’ll walk away with phrases you can use immediately—no vague theory, just practical progress.
Let’s turn your Chinese learning into tangible results!
