How to effectively improve Chinese level from zero to fluent conversation

From 34.83 £ /h

More and more people are planning to learn Chinese for travel, work needs or simply because they are curious and interested in the language. The pronunciation and writing system of Chinese is very different from that of the Dutch and Latin languages, and it also becomes a huge obstacle in learning Chinese.

It is the aim of the courses I teach to help you overcome all obstacles in the Chinese learning process. As a student of English literature, I can understand the relationship between languages and how I can help you create this relationship.

Extra information

The interaction study with me, learning from memory, and your personal commitment are the three pillars of your success!

About Me

I am very interested I love language, literature, playing volleyball.

I'm a sociable introvert, who loves meeting new people with new skill sets and interests, but who can take a little while to warm up. I'm pretty calm and not that into the big partying scene, but I can get really excited about things that inspire me.

I would also love to talk for hours at you about English literature, which are my main academic interests. With a glass of wine or two in me I'm also an expert in improvised poetry.

I am fun, active, very patient, and responsible. I have never come late to all of my classes for more than 10 years.
For children's classes I prepare songs, videos, cartoons, teaching and explaining at the same time, They learn really fast and never feel bored when they are excited with a fun teacher and materials. I believe that interest is the best teacher. So I try my best to prepare before classes and send materials after classes to students.

Les Italiens sont mon Mother tongue. With great passion, I want to teach the beautiful Italian language according to your needs. Do you need to learn more about your school life... for your private and professional life? Does your child need help doing their homework? It is important to know that the nature of the matter is similar to the nature of the person who consults you.

I work in a natural way, and from the first lesson you will be able to speak simple sentences. As a general rule, I teach my lessons in Italian, so that you get effective 'full immersion' from the start (support languages such as Dutch, English or French are used if absolutely necessary).

I will teach you how Italian grammar works and how to best conduct a conversation with a native speaker. I teach you the language that is spoken today and Italian through fun and interactive lessons.

Here we learn together from the vocabulary how to speak fluent English and add some grammar so that this learning journey is not stressful, but very joyful. Give yourself the space and time to learn this global and important language and learn to communicate fluently with English speakers despite its dialect, as we will try to deal with more than one dialect together.

Chinese is well known as a difficult language with tones and using characters totally different from alphabet. But with my 4 years of teaching Chinese as second language in University Gent as a full time lecture, 9 years experience in Wuhan University before I came to Belgium, my Belgian students starting from zero can managed to speak without foreign accent and pass HSK 4 after 1 year study. If you are looking for professional tutor and willing to put effort into it, I'm here for you.

I was born in China, recently moved to Belgium for my master degree·, in the past four years I have lots of experience teaching Chinese to kids and adults.

Learn Chinese with me in a fun way! For daily communication, school or work, any level is welcome.

This class is for both beginners and (upper)intermediate-level students interested in fine-tuning their grammar and enriching their vocabulary. After defining your level and setting personal goals, we will find the most suitable learning mediums and decide on the learning trajectory. I will make sure to keep our classes both challenging and fun and provide you with the necessary amount of practice!

Enjoy Korean Dramas
Korean cinema and TV culture are especially fascinating. And the quality is very high. Boong Joon Ho’s Parasite won 4 Academy Awards as proof of that. If you want to experience Korean films and Korean dramas to their full extent, speaking Korean is a must.

You’ll be able to read the subtitles and understand the characters. In fact, if you enjoy Korean entertainment, you can also substitute your language classes. Why learn Korean with boring grammar drills, when you can immerse yourself with exciting K-Dramas!?

Spanish classes for all levels. I am a native speaker, I have experience teaching children between the ages of 9 and 17.
The difficulty of the classes will be depending on the student’s knowledge. We will cover topics such as grammar and vocabulary.

Some students may need a helping hand to make up for gaps in French or to get used to writing. I am here for this. Having studied literature in Paris and loving the French language, I can support your pre-teens and teenagers towards success in French.

Through courses, practical exercises and personalized coaching, I hope that your child learns to appreciate French and makes considerable progress. I realize that learning grammar and spelling rules can be boring and painful, which is why I always try to bring a fun aspect to learning.

Through my work in a youth center, I am used to adolescents and know how to talk to them and encourage them to work and progress towards their academic and social development. I can also help with exam preparation.

Don't hesitate to call me, you won't be disappointed!
