I am a Chinese and Cantonese native speaker, a master student majoring at business administration. I have two year volunteer experiences as a Chinese teacher and can teach students from beginning level to advanced level. From this class, you will learn authentic Chinese and Chinese culture.

Being born and raised in Hong Kong gave me the advantage of speaking fluent Mandarin, Cantonese as well as English. I am more than happy to offer my quality teaching to all students who are interested in the beautiful Chinese language. Experienced in Language teaching for three years.

Whether you are learning Cantonese for work, studies or out of interest, you'll be able to reach your goal accordingly.
This class provides fundamental knowledge of the language and culture, and focus on interactive conversations.
Depending on your needs, reading and writing skills can also be taught.
Everyone has different learning styles and they should be well suited especially when it comes to private tutoring. Your classes will be designed according to your learning goals, pace and styles, a learning plan that's only tailor-made for you.
Your learning journey can always be altered in order to help you with a better learning outcome.
What can be more fun to get to know about the lifestyles and cultures of the locals in language learning? These will also be included in your learning journey.

About me: 100% born and raised in Hong Kong, I have been immersed in the east-meets-west culture since a very young age. I have been tutoring languages for a couple of years, including Cantonese, Chinese, English and Japanese.

This lesson is the advanced version of my other tutoring offer. For enthusiastic learners that are willing to go a step further to be bombarded by the Chinese culture. I will provide more fun and engaging materials collected or designed by myself over the years, which can be desirable for those interested. They range from videos, blogposts, games, poems to virtual tours. Hope to see you soon!

Hello! My name is Haixin, and I am a professional Chinese language teacher with over ten years of teaching experience. I run my own teaching practice (KVK registered) and currently give most lessons at students’ homes.

I specialize in teaching complete beginners, guiding them step by step with patience, structure, and a lot of encouragement. My lessons focus on practical Mandarin (listening, speaking, reading, writing), and I also introduce cultural elements such as Chinese festivals, traditions, and even hands-on workshops (for example, Chinese calligraphy or crafts).

For Dutch-speaking students, I use bilingual Chinese-Dutch teaching materials. This makes it much easier to follow the lessons, build confidence, and enjoy the process of learning a new language.

Whether you are a student, a professional, or simply curious about Chinese culture, I would be happy to help you achieve your goals.

📍 Lessons: usually at students’ homes (Amstelveen/Amsterdam region), but online lessons are also possible.
👩‍🏫 Experience: Teaching in the Netherlands & volunteering in Sri Lanka (cross-cultural experience).
🌱 Suitable for: complete beginners, school support, adults, or anyone who wants to start learning Mandarin in a structured and engaging way.

Feel free to contact me for lessons—I look forward to meeting you!

Do you want to support your child’s Cantonese learning by creating a rich Cantonese-speaking environment in their early years? Are you looking for one-on-one Cantonese lessons tailored to your child’s individual needs? Or would you like extra support to help your child keep up with the curriculum of a Chinese school?

I offer Cantonese classes inspired by the child development approach of the Waldorf curriculum. Lessons are thoughtfully designed to match children’s ages and support their holistic developmental stages.

I have completed part of the Waldorf teacher training and worked in a Waldorf school management team in Hong Kong for several years. Currently, I volunteer in a Waldorf classroom, working with children from kindergarten to Group 5. I am a native Cantonese speaker who grew up in Hong Kong. I am now in my third year living in the Netherlands. Classes are conducted mainly in Cantonese, with English support when needed.
