Baby & Toddler Early Learning (0–4 yrs) – Play & Learn, Parents Can Relax

From 94 C$ /h

Hello! I'm Yanyan, a mother of two little ones and a multilingual teacher. I know how precious (and tiring!) these early years are, so I offer playful early-learning sessions for babies and toddlers aged 0–4.

What we do: songs, picture books, sensory play, movement and simple crafts, supporting language, listening, motor skills and social confidence in a warm and calm atmosphere.
Languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Nederlands or a bilingual mix. Great for multilingual families who want their child to keep their heritage language.
Two options:
• Parent & child: you join the session and get simple ideas to continue at home.
• Parent break (in person only): I play and learn with your child while you take a well-deserved rest or get things done nearby.

Private or small-group sessions in Rotterdam (parent & child sessions also possible online).

64 C$ /h

I offer personalized language lessons in Mandarin Chinese (HSK 1–6 and Business Chinese), Dutch (A1–B1), and Papiamentu for both children and adults.
I speak 7 languages, including English, Dutch, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Papiamentu, and Enping dialect. With a strong multilingual background, I understand the challenges of learning a new language and can guide students efficiently using practical and proven methods.
I hold a Canadian English teaching certificate and have extensive international teaching experience. I have taught Papiamentu for 5 years in Curaçao and worked as a Chinese teacher at a Chinese school in the Netherlands for 2 years. These experiences allow me to adapt my teaching style to different cultures, ages, and learning needs.
For children, I create a warm, patient, and engaging learning environment to build confidence and interest. For adults, lessons can focus on daily communication, business language, exam preparation (HSK), or integration into Dutch society.
My teaching style is structured, encouraging, and results-oriented. I aim to help students not only learn the language, but also use it confidently in real-life situations.

If you would like to know more about the culture, learning through its literature is the best way. I'll teach the formation of words/characters, the usage and the logic behind their formation through a carefully selected group of poems ranging from contemporary poetry to classic poetry. It doesn't require prior knowledge, as long as you enjoys a little contemplative journeys through words and cultures.

Russian language is widely-spread across the world, since all the post-soviet countries operate this language. Also, it may be useful for the purposes of understanding other eastern-European language, like Belarusian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian or Polish.

I can teach Russian or Ukrainian to the children and teenagers. Also, we will discuss literature and culture of music.

In my Chinese lessons, I will guide you step by step through the HSK 1 to HSK 3 textbooks. Each lesson focuses on understanding vocabulary, grammar, and sentence patterns in a practical way, with plenty of examples and speaking practice.

I always check your understanding during the lesson and make sure you feel comfortable before moving on to new material. After each class, I give homework to help you review and strengthen what you’ve learned.

My goal is to help you build a strong foundation in Mandarin, improve your pronunciation, and gain confidence in real conversations. Lessons will always be adjusted to your goal.

Cantonese is the language spoken in Hong Kong and Macau.

In the lessons, you will learn how to hold everyday conversations in Cantonese. In addition, you will get to know Chinese culture in general.

Do you have any ideas for the lessons? We can work together to achieve your learning goals.
