Waston
Chinese language and studies by college-educated native speaker
I'm a 30-year-old Chinese man currently residing near Schuman Roundabout, 1000 Brussels. I have a valid long-term visa allowing me to work here. I'm university-educated in China and have been working since mid-2011 with a top news organization where my job is to write Chinese- and English-language articles. My job actually asks me to understand Chinese politics and economics, both from within the Chinese state but also from outside. Therefore I'm offering not only the Chinese language, but also a balanced and reasoned perspective about China. I'm well-mannered and patient. I'll admit I haven't taught the Chinese lanuage - Chinese mandarin, spoken by 1.4 billion people in the Chinese mainland - professionally. But I think we will work it out. I can also stay online via instant messaging apps to answer your questions from time to time. I live in a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment all by myself so it's OK if you want to come to my place. I can also travel by public transport. I'm actually quite flexible - workdays and weekends could all work for me. If you are interested, pls drop me an email. I'll write back ASAP.

Ge
Maths (Primary, KS3, GCSE); Chinese Language, and Politics Tutoring for All Age Groups
PhD-Educated and Experienced Tutor Hello, my name is Ge, and I am a fourth-year PhD student in Politics at the University of York. Over the course of my academic career, I have helped numerous students achieve their learning goals across various subjects, and I am dedicated to providing high-quality tutoring. I am passionate about helping students excel in Maths, using my strong analytical skills and years of tutoring experience to make complex topics understandable and engaging. My approach focuses on creating supportive, stress-free learning environments where students can gain confidence and thrive, regardless of their current level. With a multicultural background and fluency in English, Chinese, and Japanese, I connect easily with students from diverse backgrounds, tailoring my teaching methods to meet their unique needs. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed with the right guidance and support. Key Areas of Expertise: 1. Personalised Tutoring: I bring extensive tutoring experience across all levels, from primary school to GCSE, in Maths, Chinese, and Politics. I create safe, supportive spaces where students feel encouraged to ask questions and take ownership of their learning. 2. Global Teaching Experience: Having led seminars at universities around the world and worked with youth in various settings, I’ve developed excellent communication and cultural sensitivity skills.

My international fieldwork, particularly in Japan, has honed my ability to approach teaching with sensitivity, fostering strong relationships and a deeper understanding of each student’s needs.

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
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.
