Jessica - Uden, Netherlands£56

£56Learn Chinese from qualified teacher with 11 years of experience

Trusted teacher: As a language teacher I want to teach you practical and functional Mandarin. As a culture teacher, I want to give you a nuanced understanding of China. Besides being a teacher, I am also your coach and guide you through the joyful and challenging moments of your journey of learning Chinese language and culture. I have 11 years of experience teaching Chinese, at Dutch secondary schools, HBO and also private lessons to adults, usually for business purposes who have daily contact with Chinese companies and customers. Some of them start from 0, some have lived and worked in China for several years, and also students who have studied China would like to improve their Chinese language skills to native speaker level. I really enjoy teaching students with different backgrounds and experiences. When Princess Amalia, Princess of Orange, heir to the throne of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, chose to study Chinese during her secondary school, the Dutch television program RTL Boulevard interviewed me. I am also, together with my students at the Dutch secondary school, on TV of SBS 6 program 'Holland van Boven'. There are also several other interviews on local news in the Netherlands. My private student describes me as: “Jessica is a wonderful teacher and I am very happy to have met her. She is fun to learn with, but also has a very clear vision of where we need to go and can follow exactly the mapped out path.” My student comments on my lessons as follows: “The teacher is very active and does a lot of preparation for the lessons. The interaction is very good, talking a lot about all kinds of different topics helps to improve my Chinese.” The Chinese language is always considered a very difficult language. Actually, it's not quite right. There are very practical and easy aspects of the Chinese language. Do you also want to learn Chinese in a practical and fun way? Please don't hesitate to contact me! You will enjoy your learning journey!

Jiaqi - Zug, Switzerland£90

£90Specialized in Teaching Children - Confucius Institute Certified Native Chinese Teacher

Trusted teacher: 你好!Grüezi!Hola!Hello! I'm a Confucius Institute (the ONLY globally recognized official institution for teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages) certified Mandarin teacher. I'm also an official YCT (Youth Chinese Test)/ HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test)/ HSKK (Chinese Proficiency Spoken Test) test examiner. In addition to giving private lessons, I also teach Chinese at international schools and lead Mandarin immersion Spielgruppe (playgroup) in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. My speciality is teaching children between the age of 2.5 and 12 in an immersive and interactive learning environment. By means of guided game-playing, painting, story-reading, drama activities, song-singing, dancing, and handcraft-making, kids achieve organic language acquisition while having a lot of fun. The predominant features you will find in my class are tailor-made teaching materials and methods that are customized to best suit your specific study objectives (Preschooler Chinese, K-12 Chinese, YCT, HSK, Beginner Chinese, Conversational Chinese, Business Chinese...etc.). As a language learner myself (B.A. major in Spanish and currently studying German), I have great patience and willingness to help you on your journey towards Chinese proficiency, because I know how frustrating it could get at times. Being in the shoes of a linguistics student for years also enables me to better instruct you, as I understand very well what are the things a learner would find helpful. I welcome students of all age groups and prior proficiency levels. Looking forward to sharing my knowledge of Chinese language and culture with you:)

Bruno - Chartres, France£26

£26Mandarin Chinese introductory course by a former expat in Taiwan

Trusted teacher: I offer Mandarin lessons for people who want to learn the language and be able to communicate in everyday life. Beyond learning to write, I offer to work on pronunciation and listening, essential prerequisites for oral expression and comprehension. I adapt my lessons to the needs of the student, whether they are new learners, false beginners or already have a solid foundation but wish to strengthen their communication skills. Having learned traditional Chinese (used in Taiwan), it is this form of writing that I teach in writing, oral communication being undifferentiated between mainland China and other Chinese-speaking countries. However, I use the phonetic system of pinyin to simplify teaching. My mastery of Chinese being above all oral, I propose to work on all aspects relating to pronunciation (Chinese initials and finals, isolated tones and in context) for beginners, and the fluidity of oral expression for more advanced levels. Through my experience as an expatriate in a Chinese-speaking country, I am also keen to pass on keys to understanding Chinese culture to enable people who are considering a stay or a trip to a Chinese-speaking country to better understand the interpersonal relationships, habits, festivals and customs, beliefs, etc. which strongly influence life there.

Xue - Geneva, Switzerland£33

£33Excellent Chinese teacher with abundant working experience

Trusted teacher: I was born in China with love and encouragement from my family and teachers. From an early age, my mom, dad, and brother told me many funny and famous stories and fairy tales about Chinese Culture. All of these beautiful and traditional histories teach me how to love and respect others, how to be brave, and how to persist in my passion. I love my country and its charming, traditional culture. I hope I can convey what I have learned to others someday. And then my dream comes true. Education I am studying at the Geneva Graduate Institute which is a famous university focusing on political research and analysis. Before studying in Geneva, I received my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work in Shandong Normal University(China). Experience 7-year working experience with teaching. Especially, after graduating from the university, I became a 2-year volunteer teacher in a remote village in China. What you can learn through my courses: - Learning with fun. I know it is not easy to study another language. But there are several ways to help you (your children) love to study Chinese, such as Picture Book Teaching, Chinese songs, or intriguing multimedia tools (movies and videos). -Specific teaching method for yourself. My past five-year working experience is to teach teachers how to improve their learning skills. One of the most important methods is to adjust and design the teaching method according to the ability and interest of each student. I will teach you (or your children) to study in an appropriate way through the pre-course testing, assignments, and interaction. -Chinese language and culture. China has a long history of 5,000 years, and there are so many histories, poems, and stories during the long period of time. You( or your children)can learn a lot about Chinese culture and local customs while studying Chinese. -Chinese certification(HSK). I can help you pass your HSK examination with my rich teaching experience. I am studying at the Geneva Graduate Institute now which is a famous university focusing on political research and analysis. It is my first time to study and live abroad. I believe this is a good way for me to learn and communicate with local people(you or your children).

£42Mandarin Chinese (all levels, all ages, all purposes)

Trusted teacher: I have a Chinese teaching degree and for years I have been teaching students from all over the world the beautiful Chinese language, mostly only through Skype or other chatting programs. My students have been beginners up till people wanting to perfect their Mandarin. Some students only want to learn to talk a bit for a holiday, others want to be able to read and write. I enjoy making for each student a personal studying plan that fits their needs, and also the teaching material I will choose for each student individually.

The way I see it is that as long as you enjoy yourself, you are never too young or old to learn anything.

Min Ling (Melissa) - Aigle, Switzerland£55

£55Private Chinese Mandarin Tuition - Conversational & Writing for all ages

Trusted teacher: Chinese is a beautiful language! Whether you are hoping to learn it for travel, school, work purposes or fun, I am ready to help you with it! As a Singaporean Chinese, I started learning Chinese at age 4 as it was mandatory for us to learn our mother tongue. I enjoyed learning the language when I was still in school because I had patient and fun teachers who made learning the language captivating. It has greatly helped me in my work and everyday life and also as I travel to Mandarin speaking countries. Whatever your level, my goal is to help you fall in love with the language with unusual learning techniques ( not just writing and reading all the time). I believe we learn better when we are having fun. I will help you master the foundation and come up with a tailored plan for you to learn new vocabulary. I do not promise overnight results, but I can promise you that as long as you are a keen learner, you will be able to understand and participate in conversations in Mandarin in a short time!

Thomas - Liège, Belgium£11

£11Chinese language for (false) beginners and intermediates; Courses given by a doctoral student in Chinese Studies

Trusted teacher: As a non-native, I am aware of the difficulties that one can encounter as a French speaker in learning Chinese. Some things that seem to go without saying for natives ask us for clarification and time that I needed, and that I wish to pass on in turn. I also know that private tuition prices are often too high for many students (as they were for me). Knowledge should be accessible, especially in private lessons. I will always make sure my rates are negotiable. You cannot learn without understanding. Too many Mandarin teachers focus on practicing modern Chinese without teaching the etymology of the characters in order to understand the evolution of such a rich language over time. Understanding the evolution of the language and its characteristics is therefore essential for me, according to the Inalco method. In the Chinese language, I think the most important thing is to focus on reading and oral comprehension, as well as oral practice through conversation above all. It is useless to make beginners repeat sentences over and over again, you have to make the language live. My course is primarily aimed at beginners, false beginners and "low-intermediate", from HSK 1 to HSK 3 approximately (between 0 and 1000 known words). I can also prepare more intensively for HSK exams at the request of students. I can teach face-to-face as well as via webcam.

Trusted teacher: The most beautiful part about learning a new language is not just having the ability to speak an additional language; it also lets you learn about the culture and gives you the freedom to travel to more places by knowing the local language! I am a native Chinese speaker and have lived in the Netherlands for more than 6 years as an international student. I have also lived in the U.S. for 2 years before I came to the Netherlands. My background allows me to look at things from various perspectives and helps me understand different cultures. During my time here, I have been teaching and tutoring Chinese for children from different age groups. I make my class interactive as well as fun by using different teaching materials and topics that would be interesting for the students! I also provided a cultural learning session where I can help you to understand Chinese culture and how society and people are there, which is super helpful if you are planning a trip to China or having a business in China.

Jiaqi

Jiaqi has adopted her teaching approach to the age 5 and 6 of our sons and created a tailer-made sessions that contain crafting, drawing and game-playing that our boys love very much. While they really enjoy the sessions and the interaction is great we see the progress: our guys start teaching us Mandarin, read signs on all chinese products and show to their friends all the crafting they made together with Jiaqi. I'm happy to see that they learn Mandarin in such an organic way and highly recommend Jiaqi for any kind of learning classes with kids!

Mandarin Chinese (all levels, all ages, all purposes) (Roosendaal)

Ruijiao

Ruijiao works very professionally, the contact with her is excellent, she prepares thoroughly for the lessons and sends me the material in advance. Her pupil is my 9 years old daughter - she finds the lessons with Ruijiao so interesting that she can barely wait to have the next one. My daughter also manages to take her notes and to repeat what she learned to me:) I did not know how to tackle the idea to start learning Chinese in case of a child and now I see that we are in best hands. Thank you Ruijiao and we continue working with you!
