Let’s see a meme version of China—speak Chinese with authentic Chinese humor

From 96 C$ /h

Hello! My name is Vera.I am a Master’s student currently studying in Beijing, and I am also an exchange student at ULB in Brussels. I am fluent in English (IELTS 7.5) and passionate about helping students of all ages learn Chinese in a fun and engaging way.

My courses are tailored for two main groups:
Adults: We will learn Chinese through trending cultural topics. Each lesson begins with a popular meme or phrase from Xiaohongshu (RED), one of China’s most influential social platforms. This approach allows you to not only improve your language skills but also gain insights into contemporary Chinese society and culture.
Children: I will start with Pinyin and basic vocabulary, ensuring a solid foundation in Chinese. Alongside language learning, I will also introduce elements of traditional Chinese culture, making lessons both educational and enjoyable.

Whether you want to understand modern Chinese expressions or give your child a head start in learning the language, my classes are designed to be interactive, practical, and culturally enriching.

Do you want to learn Chinese for travel, to work with China, to prepare for a professional project, or simply to communicate better in everyday life?

I offer Mandarin Chinese lessons fully adapted to your level, your objectives and your pace. We can work on conversation, pronunciation and tones, vocabulary, grammar, listening and reading comprehension, but also concrete situations: travel, daily life, professional exchanges or intercultural context.

I place great importance on oral expression and the real-world use of the language. For beginners, we build a solid foundation from the outset; for intermediate or advanced students, lessons can focus on fluency, vocabulary enrichment, and topics tailored to your interests or professional activity.

Each lesson is tailored to your needs: it's not simply a matter of following a manual page by page. We define your objectives together, and I then adapt the materials and activities to help you progress concretely and consistently.

As a native Chinese speaker with training in translation and natural language processing, I have been teaching for several years to students with very diverse profiles and objectives.
