Hello, law student and philosophy (master), I offer private lessons Mandarin. Of Shanghainese origin, I offer my services to those who are interested in Chinese language and culture.

My goal is to advance the linguistic knowledge of the student without overloading him, and while remaining in a playful atmosphere. In order for the linguistic experience to be enriching and interesting, I integrate, in addition, cultural, literary and social elements in this course.

In general, classes consist of four parts: oral, written, audition and cultural understanding. For those who are starting learning, there is also a basic writing part (PIN YIN and basic ideograph study). But, I can also adapt the courses according to the particular requirements of the student (exam, quick knowledge for a business trip, etc.)

In general, I propose a weekly work (vocabulary review, reading an excerpt or watching a Chinese movie (for advanced students), etc.) and evaluate the progress of the course once a month so to quickly remedy certain shortcomings. Thank you for wanting to trust me and see you soon!

Hello everyone,

My name is Emilie! I learned and studied Mandarin Chinese for 10 years in a Taiwanese school.
Perfectly bilingual in Chinese and French, and now for 8 years (teaching experience with more than ten students), I teach Chinese out of passion, in order to discover the richness of this language as well as Chinese culture.

I offer individual lessons to learn the Chinese language and culture. The lessons are interactive and fun. I offer crafts, nursery rhymes and songs, board games, mime and guessing games, Chinese calligraphy, etc.
All activities are done in Chinese, which allows you to learn while having fun. In addition, I take into consideration the opinions of parents and children at the end of each lesson. This allows me to improve the way I teach and adapt to the expectations of parents as well as the abilities and motivation of children.

This is a practising-oriented course for students to practice their oral and listening skills. It is also designed for students from a very young age ( suitable for kids and adults).

For all aged students, the procedure is mainly carried out with daily communication dialogue, which encourages students to express their thoughts in Chinese.

For kids who are under 10 years old, the course is aiming at enriching the students' vocabulary and improving their speaking and listening skills (e.g. interesting stories, popular songs and poetries, help reading books are also considered to be a part of the course content). Different levels of courses are designed according to sepcific requirements of the students. Besides, assistance for Chinese - related homework is also provided.

For teenagers and adults, the course format is mainly as a conversation with friends in every course with different topics. New words and expressions can be obtained in a new topic which depends on the sharing thoughts on both ( the student and the teacher) sides.
