Chinese from Zero: Build Your Foundation, Explore the CultureTranslate this text using Google Translate.

▸Who I Work With? - Absolute beginners — you don't know a single word of Chinese, and that's perfectly fine. We'll start from the very beginning, with a clear focus on pronunciation and pinyin, so you can build a solid foundation from day one. - Self-learners who've tried and failed — maybe you've downloaded apps or watched videos, but you still can't pronounce words correctly or read a simple sentence. I'll help you fix the basics and rebuild your confidence. - Future travelers and culture lovers — you're planning to visit China someday, or you're simply fascinated by the culture. You want to learn the language properly, but you also want to know what makes Chinese culture tick. - Anyone who wants a structured start, without the boredom — I use textbooks to give us a clear learning path, but I bring the lessons to life with real stories, visuals, and cultural insights from my own experience. ────────────────── ▸What You Can Expect? - Pinyin first, and pinyin done right — the first part of this course focuses on pronunciation. We'll work through pinyin systematically: initials, finals, and tones. I'll use visual aids, tone drills, and plenty of speaking practice to make sure you can pronounce words accurately and read pinyin confidently. - A good textbook gives us structure — we'll use a proven textbook like HSK Standard Course 1 or Integrated Chinese as our foundation. This ensures you're learning in a logical order, with clear grammar explanations and vocabulary building. - Beyond the textbook — once we've got the basics down, I'll bring in materials from my own work: documentary clips, travel photos, real Chinese signs and menus. You'll see how the words and grammar you've learned show up in real life. This is where the culture comes in, not as a separate lesson, but woven into everything we do. - Speak and read from day one — every lesson includes speaking practice. You'll learn to introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions. Practical, useful Chinese that you can actually use. ────────────────── ▸Teaching Methods & Materials - Core textbook: HSK Standard Course 1 or a similar structured textbook for systematic progress - Pinyin tools: visual charts, tone pair drills, audio recordings for pronunciation practice - My own materials: documentary footage, authentic photos, and real-world examples to bridge the gap between the textbook and real life - Custom worksheets: designed specifically for your weak points and interests

Ruijiao works very professionally, the contact with her is excellent, she prepares thoroughly for the lessons and sends me the material in advance. Her pupil is my 9 years old daughter - she finds the lessons with Ruijiao so interesting that she can barely wait to have the next one. My daughter also manages to take her notes and to repeat what she learned to me:) I did not know how to tackle the idea to start learning Chinese in case of a child and now I see that we are in best hands. Thank you Ruijiao and we continue working with you!

Lea is an excellent teacher. Her class was very organized and her explanations were very clear. She is a serious teacher, but kind and encouraging at the same time. Lea makes sure her students understand the work, have the correct pronunciation and know how to write the characters correctly. If you want to learn Chinese, I highly recommend Lea.

Miss Chang is a fantastic teacher who spends time preparing both her lessons and files to practice with at home. She works at a good tempo without rushing and knows how to teach a person a language without making it feel overwhelming.
