About Me

I am a multilingual language teacher with a BA in Asian Studies (specialisation in Chinese language), MA in International Studies and several years of experience teaching students of different ages and cultural backgrounds.

Languages have always been more than a subject to me, as they are a bridge between cultures. Learning languages has always been a passion, so why not share this interest with others? During my academic journey, I developed strong linguistic and intercultural skills, and I later completed an internship at a school of Italian for foreigners, where I worked directly with international students, including Chinese learners.

Over the years, I have taught children, teenagers, and adults, both individually and in small groups. This experience has taught me how to adapt my teaching style to each learner’s needs, personality, and goals.

As a teacher, I am:
- Structured and organised
- Patient and encouraging
- Clear in explanations
- Focused on building confidence

I believe that learning a language should feel challenging but never intimidating. My goal is to create a supportive and motivating environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and progressing step by step!

I particularly enjoy working with motivated students who are curious about languages and cultures.

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.
