Old scripts from nature: learning Chinese characters
Hello! :)
Originally, I am an art teacher from China and got a Master's degree in Finland. I am inspired by cross-cultural life and learning experience here and focusing on cross-cultural education of art and language.
Chinese is a language, but also a sign back to the ancient. In my class, I will introduce to you the roots of the Chinese characters and also the art and culture related, for example, the original meaning of the character signs, the basic way of writing, the relationship between the characters and the traditional paper cutting crafts...
Each class you will get to learn about 20 characters under a theme. You will get inspired by these pictograms created thousands of years ago. Of course, your interests will be the first and most important priority.
It can be an art and creativity dialogue about text and image, rather than a language class because I believe that language is invented for emotion, expression, and communication! Hope to see you!

Mathematics, Economics, Mandarin Chinese and Test Prep TutoringMathematics is a powerful and versatile subject, applicable across numerous fields. For example, calculus and differentiation are crucial in engineering, while statistics plays a vital role in data science and finance.
Economics is broadly divided into microeconomics and macroeconomics, both of which form the foundation of economic theory. Different models operate under various assumptions, leading to distinct outcomes. Understanding these models and their real-world applications makes economics an intriguing and valuable subject!
Mandarin Chinese is an incredibly useful language, spoken by approximately 13.8% of the world's population—over a billion people. As a native speaker, I am excited to guide you through the learning process. I am patient and dedicated to helping you gain confidence in speaking, writing, and understanding Mandarin.
I've designed this tutoring program to be interactive and adaptable to your preferred learning style—whether you learn best through a Q&A-based approach or hands-on practice during class. You are encouraged to ask questions anytime, and I will also be available after class for further clarifications, with responses guaranteed within 12 hours. Mathematics problems often have multiple solutions—let’s explore them together!
Throughout this course, you will develop strong problem-solving skills in mathematics and economics by learning different approaches to tackling questions. For Mandarin Chinese, you will not only master the language but also explore cultural insights and practical applications in real-life situations. With consistent practice and guidance, you'll gain fluency and confidence!

Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer or build a successful portfolio? It’s easier than you think!My teaching philosophy centres around helping students discover their instinctive creative voices through experimental drawing techniques. I believe in the power of intuitive creation, where students are encouraged to move beyond traditional methods, tap into their creativity, and embrace innovative approaches to drawing. This process empowers them to build a strong personal style while gaining the technical skills necessary to express their ideas confidently.
As a lecturer at Central Saint Martin's i use my years of teaching experience to help every student unlock their potential, guiding them in finding their unique artistic identity and confidently navigating their creative journeys. Whether you're looking to build a portfolio, develop new drawing skills, or simply explore new creative approaches, I offer a personalised, hands-on approach that meets each student where they are, helping them grow and evolve as an artist. Fashion design isn't just about learning techniques; it's about discovering and expressing your instinctive creative voice.
In my lessons, we’ll focus on intuition-driven design—moving beyond traditional, formulaic methods and embracing a more personal, organic approach to creating fashion. Designing with intuition: You’ll learn how to trust your instincts in the design process, whether you’re sketching new ideas or creating full garments. Exploring fabric and silhouette: Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to experiment with different materials, shapes, and textures to create unique and bold designs. Breaking traditional boundaries: My approach challenges you to explore unconventional forms, colours, and patterns, encouraging designs that reflect your own artistic vision.

Chinese Language and Culture-Listening, Speaking, Writing and ReadingHi,
你好!

Unlike most institutions, I work no only with standard textbooks but also with thoughtfully curated contemporary Chinese content and Many More Surprises Along the Way. ;-)
Chinese is easy and one can learn it WAY FASTER with the right guidance and method. From pronunciation to conversation making, from listening ability to in-depth cultural understanding, you name it. Life is precious and I look forward to spending it unlocking the rewards of learning a new language with you!
See you soon,

Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levelsI 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!

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.
