About Me

Hi! I am Julia.

I’m a first-year Microbiology student at the University of Manchester, passionate about biology and also love diving into history and economics. I’m outgoing and enjoy working with kids, making learning fun and engaging. I’ve had plenty of experience helping classmates and younger students tackle tough problems. Plus, I’m bilingual, so I can teach in more than one language. Looking forward to helping you succeed!

Education

I completed my high school education with a strong focus on science and mathematics. I studied Mathematics, Biology, Further Mathematics, and Economics, achieving AABB in my final exams. During my IGCSE years, I developed a deep interest in biology and scored a 7 out of 9 in IGCSE Biology. My passion for the subject has only grown since then, leading me to pursue a degree in Microbiology at the University of Manchester, where I am currently in my first year. My academic background, combined with a keen interest in the biological sciences, has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to excel in this field.

Experience / Qualifications

During high school, I actively participated in various competitions, gaining valuable experience beyond the classroom. One of my proudest achievements was winning a global silver medal in the British Biology Olympiad (BBO), which challenged me to deepen my understanding of biology and apply my knowledge in new and exciting ways. These competitions not only broadened my scientific perspective but also helped me develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The knowledge I gained from these experiences has been invaluable, providing me with a solid foundation that complements my formal education and continues to benefit me in my current studies.

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.

The most important thing when learning a language is to build up your own language corpus and to actually use the language in conversation and in everyday life.
Since I taught myself German, I know the subtle differences between Chinese and German very well – from pronunciation to grammar to the cultural nuances behind them.

In my lessons, I don't use traditional textbooks. I'm much more interested in how you want to learn this language.
In the first lesson, we'll get to know each other through conversation: What do you like to talk about? What would you like to improve? After that, I'll create personalized lessons for you. Each lesson begins with an open conversation in Chinese. Depending on your needs, I'll integrate relevant audio and video materials into the lessons. After each lesson, you'll receive a list of new vocabulary and key points to keep you informed, so you can continuously expand your vocabulary. This is even more helpful if you use Anki :)

Note: This course is not suitable for absolute beginners or for targeted exam preparation.

Note: I currently only offer online lessons. From April onwards, it will also be possible to book in-person lessons again.

I offer structured Mandarin courses for adults and professionals who wish to learn Chinese rigorously and methodically.

Originally from Shanghai and holding a Master's degree in international marketing, I adopt a clear and analytical approach, particularly suited to demanding profiles and autonomous learners.

Each program is built around:
– A logical understanding of grammar and structures
– Organized and measurable progress
– In-depth work on pronunciation and intonation
– Natural and fluid articulation from the very first lessons

The goal is to develop clear, precise, and professional Mandarin, not just a rough conversational level.

The courses are adapted to your level (beginner to intermediate) with a personalized learning plan after the first assessment session.

Regular engagement is recommended to ensure concrete and lasting results.

I am a native Mandarin Chinese speaker, born in Gansu Province, China, and I completed my secondary education in Sichuan. Growing up in different regions of China gave me a rich cultural background and a broad understanding of everyday Chinese life and language.

Later, I moved to Belgium to study at university in Dutch, and today I work as a mechanical engineer. I am also a father of two children. Living abroad and learning new languages myself has helped me understand how challenging — but also how fun — language learning can be.

I prefer to teach Chinese in a relaxed and enjoyable way. My lessons feel more like natural conversations than formal classes. We can talk about daily life, culture, travel, food, family, or any topic that interests you. I believe that language grows best in a comfortable and friendly environment.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some foundation, we can move at your own pace without pressure.

You are welcome if you:

Simply want to speak Chinese more confidently

Are curious about Chinese culture

Plan to travel to China

Want conversational practice

Or just enjoy learning languages in a relaxed atmosphere

Learning Chinese doesn’t have to be stressful — it can be interesting, warm, and fun.

I look forward to meeting you and having meaningful conversations together!

I teach Mandarin Chinese HSK 1 and HSK 2 with a serious, structured approach tailored to each student. I am currently teaching at the B1 level, and I prepare my lessons meticulously and with careful planning, avoiding improvisation.

Each session is planned in advance according to what the student wants to work on: vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, listening comprehension, or characters. This allows me to make the most of class time and ensure steady progress.

I work with clear explanations, guided practice, and well-structured repetition, paying special attention to tones and the basics of the language, which are fundamental to making good progress in Chinese.

If you're looking for well-prepared classes with follow-up and a clear method to start Chinese from scratch or consolidate HSK 1 and HSK 2, this approach is designed for that.
