Learn Chinese from qualified teacher with 11 years of experience

From 106 C$ /h

As a language teacher I want to teach you practical and functional Mandarin. As a culture teacher, I want to give you a nuanced understanding of China. Besides being a teacher, I am also your coach and guide you through the joyful and challenging moments of your journey of learning Chinese language and culture.

I have 11 years of experience teaching Chinese, at Dutch secondary schools, HBO and also private lessons to adults, usually for business purposes who have daily contact with Chinese companies and customers. Some of them start from 0, some have lived and worked in China for several years, and also students who have studied China would like to improve their Chinese language skills to native speaker level. I really enjoy teaching students with different backgrounds and experiences.

When Princess Amalia, Princess of Orange, heir to the throne of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, chose to study Chinese during her secondary school, the Dutch television program RTL Boulevard interviewed me. I am also, together with my students at the Dutch secondary school, on TV of SBS 6 program 'Holland van Boven'. There are also several other interviews on local news in the Netherlands.

My private student describes me as: “Jessica is a wonderful teacher and I am very happy to have met her. She is fun to learn with, but also has a very clear vision of where we need to go and can follow exactly the mapped out path.”
My student comments on my lessons as follows: “The teacher is very active and does a lot of preparation for the lessons. The interaction is very good, talking a lot about all kinds of different topics helps to improve my Chinese.”

The Chinese language is always considered a very difficult language. Actually, it's not quite right. There are very practical and easy aspects of the Chinese language.

Do you also want to learn Chinese in a practical and fun way? Please don't hesitate to contact me! You will enjoy your learning journey!

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.
