Speak Mandarin with Confidence — Natural, Fluent, and Real-world Chinese

From 62.51 C$ /h

Have you ever learned Chinese for a while, but still felt unsure when speaking to real people?
Or maybe you want to sound natural, not like a textbook?
- This class is designed to help you speak Mandarin with confidence and authenticity.
- Instead of memorizing dry vocabulary lists, we will learn through:
- Real-life conversations (ordering food, meeting people, daily small talk)
- Clear pronunciation coaching (so you sound smooth, not robotic)
- Useful sentence patterns you can use immediately
- Cultural explanations so you understand why certain expressions are used

Every lesson is personalized — we focus on your goals:
- Daily life Mandarin
- Academic life in China
- Business & professional communication
- Travel conversation and cultural etiquette

My teaching style is friendly, encouraging, and conversational.
You’ll speak a lot. You’ll be corrected gently.
And most importantly — you’ll enjoy the process.

By the end, you won’t just “know Chinese.”
You’ll use it with ease.

Extra information

No textbook required — I provide custom materials, practice notes, and daily-use expression guides.

About Me

Hi!

I’m Chloe, originally from China and currently living in Switzerland.
I believe that language is not just vocabulary and grammar — it’s a connection.

I hold a Mandarin Proficiency Certificate (PSC Level 2-A), which means my pronunciation is clear, standard, and easy to follow. My classes are friendly, interactive, and focused on real-life conversation, helping you speak Mandarin naturally and confidently.

I tailor every lesson to the student — whether your goal is everyday communication, academic life, business Chinese, or cultural understanding. You’ll speak a lot, learn useful expressions, and enjoy the learning process.

If you want to build confidence and sound more natural in Mandarin, I’d love to guide you. 🌿

Hello! I'm a Master's student at EPFL and a patient, attentive Chinese tutor. In my free time, I love playing video games (like, fan of Undertale~), and being an older sister to a younger sibling has taught me a great deal about patience and how to explain things clearly and gently.

I understand the challenges of starting a new language from scratch. That's why I create immersive and highly interactive lessons tailored for complete beginners. One years ago, I had the pleasure of teaching a student from the UK, who told me, "I really enjoy learning Chinese with you". And I'm super happy too, because that experience, which was also my first real interaction with a foreigner, was rewarding and fuels my passion for teaching to this day.

If you're looking for a supportive and enjoyable way to start your Chinese journey, please get in touch!

P.S. I can speak both Mandarin and Cantonese, as I live in Hong Kong for 4 years.
