About Me

I am from China, and now living in Switherland, I am an enthusiastic and dedicated Chinese language instructor with a passion for imparting knowledge in an engaging and immersive way. My teaching philosophy centers around making the learning experience enjoyable and effective.

Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levels
I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives. I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job. I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

Daniel
Individualisierter Englisch-Unterricht mit Cambridge zertifizierter Lehrperson
Ich habe einen Masterabschluss in Germanistik der Universität Bern und bin diplomiert von der University of Cambridge. Nebst meiner Erfahrung als Übersetzer habe ich auch Erfahrung im Unterweisen von Studenten, und im Sprachunterricht für Flüchtlinge. Und auch meine tschechische Freundin erfährt Unterricht von mir. Das alles nicht bloss in Englisch und Hochdeutsch, sondern auch im Kontext des Verstehens Schweizer Dialekte. Ich habe also einen breiten Wissens- und Erfahrungsschatz im Umgang mit allen möglichen sprachlichen Hintergründen. Ich bin der Meinung, dass es bei jeder Sprache am einfachsten ist, sie zu erlernen, wenn man die Individualität des Schülers respektiert und die Eigenheiten seiner Muttersprache. Dabei fokussiere ich mich darauf, die Gemeinsamkeiten herauszuarbeiten. Mein akademischer Hintergrund in Linguistik ist da sicherlich behilflich. Ich bin ein Vertreter eines persönlichen Ansatzes und würde somit zuerst mit dir zusammensitzen und besprechen, was deine Ziele sind, deine Fähigkeiten und Wünsche. Sowohl persönlich wie via Video Chat.
