Learn Chinese language and culture with a lot of fun. The approach helps you remember easily and apply in the daily life or work environments. The Chinese culture such as Chinese calligraphy, festivals, life and work culture will open your view towards China and help you understand and branding in Chinese context.

By combining Phonetic Training, Repetition and Drills, Interactive Activities, Visual and Audio Aids, Feedback and Correctionteachers, Culturally Relevant Materials, Use of Technology, Structured Language Lessons, I create a diverse and engaging learning environment that assists students in mastering the Chinese language and improving their pronunciation effectively.

Tailoring Chinese lessons to a student’s learning style and preferences involves a combination of assessing their individual needs, adapting teaching methods, and creating a personalized learning plan. Here’s how I approach it:
1. Understanding Learning Styles
Initial Assessment: I start with a questionnaire or discussion to understand how the student learns best—visually, auditorily, kinesthetically, or through reading and writing.
Trial Activities: Observing their engagement during different activities (e.g., flashcards, conversations, or listening exercises) helps confirm their preferences.
2. Personalized Content
Relevant Topics: Incorporate the student’s interests (e.g., travel, business, pop culture) to make lessons engaging.
Cultural Integration: If they’re interested in Chinese culture, history, or traditions, I integrate cultural anecdotes, idioms, or holiday practices into the curriculum.
Professional Needs: For those learning Chinese for work, I focus on industry-specific vocabulary and scenarios.
3. Methodology Adjustments
Visual Learners: Use diagrams, flashcards, and videos to teach characters, grammar structures, and tones.
Auditory Learners: Focus on listening and speaking activities, such as audio recordings, songs, and conversational practice.
Kinesthetic Learners: Incorporate hands-on activities like stroke order practice, role-playing scenarios, or physical games to reinforce learning.
Reading/Writing Learners: Provide text-heavy materials, exercises, and encourage journaling or essay writing in Chinese.
4. Adapting the Pacing
Some students prefer a structured approach with grammar rules and systematic progress, while others thrive in a more immersive and conversational environment. I adjust the lesson flow accordingly.
5. Technology and Resources
Recommend apps, online tools, or games tailored to their style (e.g., Skritter for visual learners, podcasts for auditory learners).
Share supplementary materials like interactive ebooks, videos, or worksheets that align with their pace and interests.
6. Feedback and Flexibility
Regularly check in with the student to ensure the lessons are effective and enjoyable.
Be ready to tweak the teaching strategy if their needs or goals evolve.
7. Building Confidence
Celebrate milestones, like mastering tones or writing a paragraph, to keep motivation high.
Use error correction techniques suited to their preference—some prefer immediate feedback, while others benefit from reflective corrections after the session.
Extra information
If you choose Chinese calligraphy course, I will provide the writing tools.

Hello there! はじめまして!
I am Risa from Tokyo, Japan.

I have various experiences in teaching Japanese culture and language from children to adults in English and Spanish.
I'm learning various languages as a non-native speaker, so I know how learning foreign languages can be challenging, but at the same time, so fun! :) The key to fluency is repetitive practices, from my experience.

What is your purpose to learn Japanese culture and language? In the first session, let me know your specific needs and objectives so as we can take the best way to achieve these goals.
Together we will practice the diverse proficiency skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking).
The class will be semi-structured and flexible according to your needs and goals.

Feel free to contact me!

Do you have to speak to a group for school or university? Present for business? Does the thought leave you dreading the moment, or simply a little unsure of how best to communicate your message?

- Speak clearly, strongly and healthily!
- Be more at ease in front of an audience!
- Get your point across without it feeling laboured!

Whatever level of confidence and competence you have in public speaking, there's always room for improvement. Whether you want to focus on how your body language says just as much as your words, work humour and ease into an otherwise stiff delivery, or just get to the end and have your audience take away your key message, I can help you.

I work in English, but also speak fluent Dutch, so we can switch back and forth if necessary. I can either plan a series of sessions, or you can come to me with specific goals to work on. I can give you homework, or for those with little time, we can simply work in the sessions themselves.
