Communicating a message effectively and creating impact is a skill we all need - whether in our professional or personal lives. Crafting a clear, logically structured argument that resonates with your audience is both an art and a valuable asset.

Throughout my career, I have relied extensively on public speaking and in my free time I have organized debate sessions that included structured feedback. Based on this experience, I’m confident I can help you strengthen your public speaking skills for a variety of purposes.

I have experience tutoring both adults and children.

Hello everyone,

My name is Emilie! I learned and studied Mandarin Chinese for 10 years in a Taiwanese school.
Perfectly bilingual in Chinese and French, and now for 8 years (teaching experience with more than ten students), I teach Chinese out of passion, in order to discover the richness of this language as well as Chinese culture.

I offer individual lessons to learn the Chinese language and culture. The lessons are interactive and fun. I offer crafts, nursery rhymes and songs, board games, mime and guessing games, Chinese calligraphy, etc.
All activities are done in Chinese, which allows you to learn while having fun. In addition, I take into consideration the opinions of parents and children at the end of each lesson. This allows me to improve the way I teach and adapt to the expectations of parents as well as the abilities and motivation of children.

I am located in Woluwe Saint-Lambert and can travel to Woluwe Saint-Pierre, Wezembeek-Oppem, Kraainem, Auderghem, Ixelles, Etterbeek.
I have one place available starting in February 2026. Feel free to contact me!

This is a practising-oriented course for students to practice their oral and listening skills. It is also designed for students from a very young age ( suitable for kids and adults).

For all aged students, the procedure is mainly carried out with daily communication dialogue, which encourages students to express their thoughts in Chinese.

For kids who are under 10 years old, the course is aiming at enriching the students' vocabulary and improving their speaking and listening skills (e.g. interesting stories, popular songs and poetries, help reading books are also considered to be a part of the course content). Different levels of courses are designed according to sepcific requirements of the students. Besides, assistance for Chinese - related homework is also provided.

For teenagers and adults, the course format is mainly as a conversation with friends in every course with different topics. New words and expressions can be obtained in a new topic which depends on the sharing thoughts on both ( the student and the teacher) sides.

Chinese is an essential tool for expressing oneself and understanding the world. I offer comprehensive instruction, from basic Pinyin, Zhuyin, and Chinese character writing to advanced reading comprehension and essay writing skills, while also strengthening oral expression and listening comprehension. Learning Chinese not only improves academic performance but also cultivates logical thinking and confidence, laying a solid foundation for future learning of other subjects.

I will impart native speaker learning methods through engaging and relatable cultural sharing.
