This course is suitable for the speakers who are able to have a basic conversation in Chinese, and aims to practise listening and speaking through our freestyle or specific dialogues of various topics. During the process, I will give you feedbacks, such as correcting your pronunciations and grammars, explaining the language phenomenon and better your language skills.
Also, Many students have asked me how to develop a more natural, almost native voice. I am here to help!It can be that you are a beginner with a grasp the basics but your pronunciation needs some work or you are capable of speaking fluently but feel your voice doesn't have the right tone! Whatever the case, I look forward in supporting you on this journey!

[A Letter from me]

Hi,
你好!
I am Zhou and have helped people from age 3 to more than 80 with all levels of Chinese.
I have developed my unique curriculums and teaching methods for Chinese language lovers ranging from absolute beginners to highly advanced with more than 7 years of teaching experience here in Amsterdam. Unlike most institutions, I work no only with standard textbooks but also with thoughtfully curated contemporary Chinese content and Many More Surprises Along the Way. ;-)
Chinese is easy and one can learn it WAY FASTER with the right guidance and method. From pronunciation to conversation making, from listening ability to in-depth cultural understanding, you name it. Life is precious and I look forward to spending it unlocking the rewards of learning a new language with you!

See you soon,
Zhou

I can’t wait to share you how beautiful my language is! See you in my class.

Aside from teaching, I like to watch movies and traveling.I have been to UK, Germany, Poland, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia and so on.

大家好!我是Amy,一名经验丰富的中文老师。我在北京长大,口音清晰易懂。我很喜欢教学工作,在我看来,学习语言非常有趣。虽然有时候会遇到困难,但是都是值得的。我帮助过上百名学生找工作,升职,或者旅行。

我已经迫不及待跟你分享我的母语了,课堂上见!
