Do you feel like Chinese is an insurmountable challenge? Many students get stuck on tones or grammar that seems to make no sense. My goal is for you to stop "studying" Chinese and start communicating in it.

I'm Anqi, a native Mandarin Chinese teacher with a degree in Audiovisual Journalism (Radio and Television) from China. My pronunciation is rated at level 1-B on the official Chinese Putonghua exam, one of the highest levels.

Before teaching, I worked for 12 years in communications: 10 as a journalist and 2 in corporate communications for a multinational company. I've been teaching Chinese in Spain for over 3 years to children, adults, and business employees. I know exactly where Spanish speakers struggle and have developed a method to eliminate intonation issues. I also teach you how Chinese people think, speak, and negotiate in real life.

My students highlight my patience and how clearly I explain the logic of the language (5 out of 5 star ratings on another platform).

What I offer:
• Chinese from scratch and for all levels
• Preparation of HSK and YCT
• Business Chinese and training for companies
• Classes for children and teenagers

Online classes from anywhere in Spain and face-to-face classes in Asturias (Avilés, Gijón, Oviedo and surrounding areas).

The first class is to determine your level and your goals.
