I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it.
I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature.
Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.
Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.
From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.
I offer personalized consulting to help you build a compelling art portfolio and support you in developing your art projects. Through one-on-one mentoring, we’ll work on refining your concepts, strengthening your technical skills, and creating a cohesive body of work that reflects your unique artistic vision. My approach emphasizes constructing a sustainable working method, empowering you to continue developing projects independently.
In addition to practical guidance, I provide theory and art history input to broaden your perspective and deepen your understanding of the field. Whether you're preparing for art school applications, exhibitions, or personal growth in your practice, I offer professional feedback and support tailored to help you achieve your creative goals. Project mediums can include painting, drawing, video, installation, and more.
