Extra information
My experience: my youngest student started at the age of 4, is now 12 and speaks it well, my oldest student is 79 years old. My current student levels are A1-C2 (HSK or TOCFL). I know and use most textbooks. This concerns books published in China, Taiwan and the Netherlands. The professional backgrounds of my students: teachers and academic staff, IT, civil and electrical engineers, managers, doctors and therapists, artists, architects, bankers and university students, high and primary school students. At home my 3 children were raised completely trilingual: Chinese, Dutch and English. In terms of Chinese, they can read, write, communicate with modern media and speak Chinese fluently.

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.

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.
