    Mandarin Chinese, speaking, listening & pronounciation

    Chines grammar is relatively simple. Writing can be only improved by repeating for amounts of times, which can be done at home alone. Reading is built on top of writing. Therefore, the aim of this class is to practise speaking mandarin Chinese.

    In this course, the student mainly talks with me about specific topics so that students can improve their pronounciation as well as vocabulary. Meanwhile, grammar will be also explained.

    I know how to discover the interest of the students and motivate them to further their skills.

    Speech training, Public speaking lessons with experienced tutor
    I am a professional singer, pianist and music teacher. From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college and universities I have also learned classical voice, choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies, speech training, continued my piano practice. 2015 — 2019 R.Glier Kyiv Municipal Academy of Music Junior specialist in Choir conducting 2020 — 2023 P.Chubynskyi Kyiv Municipal Academy of Arts Bachelor in Solo singing 2022 — Present HMDK Stuttgart Bachelor of classical singing My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. As for singer who studied a lot about different approaches, technics and singing schools "Speech Training" was a part of the main subjects. It is extremely important to have clear pronunciation, make it sound free/relaxed (without any tension or unhealthy blocks) more confident, and emotional. On our Speech training lessons I will help you to make your speech more clear, your voice will sound more healthy and confident.
