Chinese language lessons – Mandarin for beginners or conversation practice

From 41.66 C$ /h

Hello! I’m a native Chinese speaker currently living in Brussels, and I offer engaging Mandarin classes for beginners, children, or anyone curious about Chinese language and culture.
My classes are warm, interactive, and tailored to your needs. Whether you’re just starting or want to practice daily conversations, I can guide you step by step through pronunciation, simple characters, and useful expressions.
I use songs, games, flashcards, mini-stories and cultural topics (like festivals or food!) to make each lesson fun and memorable. If you're a student already learning Chinese, I can also help with your homework or reading materials.
Every class is structured around clear themes – greetings, self-introduction, shopping, asking for directions, etc. I can also teach basic character writing for those interested. Lessons are available online or in person.
Let’s learn Chinese together at your own pace and have fun along the way!

I'm a 30-year-old Chinese man currently residing near Schuman Roundabout, 1000 Brussels. I have a valid long-term visa allowing me to work here.

I'm university-educated in China and have been working since mid-2011 with a top news organization where my job is to write Chinese- and English-language articles. My job actually asks me to understand Chinese politics and economics, both from within the Chinese state but also from outside.

Therefore I'm offering not only the Chinese language, but also a balanced and reasoned perspective about China.

I'm well-mannered and patient. I'll admit I haven't taught the Chinese lanuage - Chinese mandarin, spoken by 1.4 billion people in the Chinese mainland - professionally. But I think we will work it out.

I can also stay online via instant messaging apps to answer your questions from time to time.

I live in a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment all by myself so it's OK if you want to come to my place. I can also travel by public transport. I'm actually quite flexible - workdays and weekends could all work for me.

If you are interested, pls drop me an email. I'll write back ASAP.

Hello everyone,

My name is Emilie! I learned and studied Mandarin Chinese for 10 years in a Taiwanese school.
Perfectly bilingual in Chinese and French, and now for 8 years (teaching experience with more than ten students), I teach Chinese out of passion, in order to discover the richness of this language as well as Chinese culture.

I offer individual lessons to learn the Chinese language and culture. The lessons are interactive and fun. I offer crafts, nursery rhymes and songs, board games, mime and guessing games, Chinese calligraphy, etc.
All activities are done in Chinese, which allows you to learn while having fun. In addition, I take into consideration the opinions of parents and children at the end of each lesson. This allows me to improve the way I teach and adapt to the expectations of parents as well as the abilities and motivation of children.

I am located in Woluwe Saint-Lambert and can travel to Woluwe Saint-Pierre, Wezembeek-Oppem, Kraainem, Auderghem, Ixelles, Etterbeek.
I have one position available starting in May 2025. Don't hesitate to contact me quickly!

If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to message me on Apprentus!

Looking forward to meeting you, Emilie

This is a practising-oriented course for students to practice their oral and listening skills. It is also designed for students from a very young age ( suitable for kids and adults).

For all aged students, the procedure is mainly carried out with daily communication dialogue, which encourages students to express their thoughts in Chinese.

For kids who are under 10 years old, the course is aiming at enriching the students' vocabulary and improving their speaking and listening skills (e.g. interesting stories, popular songs and poetries, help reading books are also considered to be a part of the course content). Different levels of courses are designed according to sepcific requirements of the students. Besides, assistance for Chinese - related homework is also provided.

For teenagers and adults, the course format is mainly as a conversation with friends in every course with different topics. New words and expressions can be obtained in a new topic which depends on the sharing thoughts on both ( the student and the teacher) sides.

Hi, I am an international student from China currently pursuing graduate studies in education. I speak Japanese, Chinese (mother tongue) and French.

I have studied in Japan, Hungary, Spain and Belgium and lived in China for 20 years. Since 2016, I have been working as a language teacher while studying and earning my undergraduate degree in Education in the aforementioned countries. I have taught more than 20 students so far, and the students and parents have responded very favorably to the results and the learning process, and have been motivated to learn a foreign language.
I strongly believe that education is not a painful process, it is not only about learning subjects, but also about motivation, mental health and proper values.

My relationship with my students is more like that of a friend; a superior teacher-student relationship can only lead to a negative reaction to the content. My students love my classes because they are filled with interesting and logical explanations, and I take every student's question seriously.

For younger students, I will use more interesting and vivid examples to explain abstract knowledge, for example: the letter "a" is a mouth with a snake next to it, in which case we will surely yell "ah". For adults who are able to think logically, I will choose to explain in a more logical way, e.g. if there is the character for fire on the left side of the Chinese word "烤", the left of the word which is "火" looks like a campfire,so any word with this "campfire" means something about fire or high temperature, and the right part can be used to deduce the pronunciation of the word.

My courses are available via Terminals, Skype, dingding, etc. If you are in Brussels then you are welcome to come to one of my offline courses!

The classes can be taught in Chinese, English.

With a master's degree in Sinology (KULeuven, 2015), years of professional experience in the field and 6 years of experience in the Chinese Minor bachelor programme and evening courses at VUB, I'm confident that my courses offer an efficient and comprehensive path to Chinese language proficiency.

This class provides tailor-made Chinese language courses for any age. By default, the course focusses on oral communication (listening and speaking skills) with a large amount of interaction. Reading and writing is available (and recommended), but optional. As a non-native speaker, I know what it is to learn Chinese at a later age.

Textbooks, workbook exercises and additional character writing exercises are included in the price.
