Private Chinese lessons to learn the language and cultureChinese speakers are more and more numerous today. As the largest country in Asia, China has a long history of 5000 years, which reflects different cultures. Learning Chinese is the best way to learn and understand Chinese culture. In some areas, fluency in Chinese is required to find work.
I offer courses at all levels who are interested in the Chinese language but also in recent culture. The objective is to learn oral, (Pin Ying), variation of tones, grammar, and to practice in daily conversations, but also preparation for exams or work. You could also offer me your goals.

Practice your Mandarine/ Cantonese Speaking with a Native SpeakerWhat better way to learn a language than communicating with a native speaker in real-time?
Duolingo can only teach you so much, but from personal experience, the most important aspect of learning a new language is to be fully immersed in its culture to understand the intricacies of that language.
I am completely fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, which gives me the advantage of explaining how you can improve effectively in the language you understand.

Excellent Chinese teacher with abundant working experienceI 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).

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